Coffee is Healthy For You (Continued from Page One)
What causes the coffee to benefit your health?
Is it the caffeine in the coffee? The oodles of antioxidants in coffee beans, some of which become especially potent during the roasting process? Even the mysterious properties that warrant this intensive studies?
The answer to all of these is YES!
Some of the health benefits of coffee are a direct result of its higher caffeine content: An eight ounce cup of drip brewed coffee contains about 85 mg of caffeine- about three times more than the same serving of tea or cola or one ounce of chocolate.
DePaulis recently said that the eveidence is very strong that regular caffeine consumption reduces risk of Parkinson's disease and for that; it's directly related to the caffeine in coffee. In fact, Parkinson's drugs that are now being developed contain a deriavative of caffeine based on this evidence.
Coffee is a Performance Enhancer!
It's also caffeine- and not coffee, per se- that makes java a powerful aid is enhancing athletic performance and endurance, says physiologist and longtime coffee researcher Terry Graham, PhD of the University of Guelp in Canada. So powerful, that until recently, caffeine in coffee or other forms was deemed a "controlled substance" by the Olympic Games Committee, meaning that it could only be consumed in small quanities by competing athletes.
"What caffeine does is stimulate the brain and nervous system to do things differently," he says. "That may include signaling you to ignore fatigue or recruit extra units of muscle themselves, causing them to produce stronger contraction. But what is amazing about it is that unlike some performance enhancing manipulation some athletes do that are specific for strength or sprinting or endurance, studies show that caffeine positively enhances all of these things."
Simply put , if you consume enough caffeine- whether from coffee or another source- and you will likely run faster, last longer and be stronger. What is enough? As little as one cup can offer some benefit, but the real benefit comes from at least two mugs, says Graham. By comparison, it would take at least eight glasses of cola to get the same effect, which would not be good if running say a marathon.
The harder you work the more liklely you would receive from the caffeine. "Unfortunately, where you see the enhancing effects from caffeine is in hard-working athletes, who are able to work longer and somewhat harder," says Graham, who has studied the effects of caffeine and coffee for nearly two decades. "If you are a recreational athlete who is working out to reduce weight or just feel better, you are not pushing yourself hard enough to get an athletic benefit from coffee or other caffeinated products."
That may explain why in that new study at Harvard, those drinking decaffeinated coffee but not tea beverages also showed a reduced diabetes risk, though it was half as much as those drinking coffee with caffeine.
