In this video I will discuss
Coffee, Heart Disease
and Cardiovascular Health
Coffee contains diterpenes
These are only present
in unfiltered coffee and
They appear to increase the risk
of coronary heart disease
However, coffee also contains antioxidants
This may be one of the reasons
why some studies find
A lower risk of coronary heart disease
among moderate coffee drinkers
Some studies show that consuming more than 4 cups of coffee a day
Increases inflammation markers associated with heart disease
In contrast,
A 20 year study finished in 2006 on 128.000 coffee drinkers showed no such relationship
This Harvard study concluded that
Coffee consumption (by itself) does not increases the risk of coronary heart disease
It did show however that high coffee intake is more prevalent in
Individuals with other
heart disease risk factors
Such as: smoking, alcohol consumption
and lack of physical exercise
What this means is: unhealthy people tend to drink more coffee
Coffee stimulates the heart, blood circulation and the respiratory system
It thus supports the increases in energy demands which it itself generates
But when this effect is
continuous it leads to exhaustion
Stimulating the heart and raising blood pressure is bad if you have a heart condition or
If you are at risk of heart disease
This is why coffee is not recommended for people with cardiovascular problems
In conclusion,
Coffee tends to be better
tolerated by healthy people and
May be beneficial when consumed in moderation
However,
High coffee intake is more
likely in unhealthy individuals
Individuals which already
have underlying problems
Therefore, coffee should be considered a risk to people who have developed or
Are at risk of cardiovascular
(and also digestive) diseases
