Like many others, I have always been told that too much caffeine is bad for you but it appears that stimulant also has health benefits. Britain is clearly a nation of caffeine addicts having spent nearly £1 billion on coffee in 2010 and these people can rejoice in the knowledge that these regular cups can protect against various diseases and ailments. Researchers from Sweden discovered that females who consumed more than five cups of coffee every day increased their chances of avoiding a particular aggressive strand of breast cancer. A study from Greece found that elderly folk aged over sixty reduced their blood pressure after drinking just one cup of coffee per day and Bristol University discovered that a single cup of Joe enabled people to perform better in mental challenges. It is advisable to avoid drinking coffee in the late afternoon or evening as this may result in sleeping problems as caffeine takes around eight hours to completely leave the body. People who drink two cups of coffee each day can protect themselves against the risk of Alzheimer's as this amount of caffeine consumption helped to prevent proteins building up which were linked to memory loss, according to the University of Florida. Drinking a couple of cups half an hour before a workout will provide an energy boost which will enhance your workout, claims research in the International Journal of Sports Medicine. There are also unfortunate dangers of drinking this amount of coffee as pregnant women may increase their chance of suffering a miscarriage so they are advised to reduce their intake during pregnancy. The American medical journal Cancer revealed that a hat-trick of cups can help women decrease their chances of developing ovarian cancer by one fifth and women who had never had the contraceptive pill or HRT enjoyed greater rates of avoidance. Serious coffee addicts who drink more than four and five cups a day are less likely to contract mouth cancers, claims the University of Utah , and significantly reduce their risk of liver damage, according to the National Cancer Centre in Tokyo. Slimming products such as fat burners contain high levels of caffeine so regular users may also be able to enjoy the benefits associated with consuming constant cups of coffee. Fat burners include lots of caffeine because it helps to suppress appetite and also provides an energy boost which encourages people to exercise for longer amounts of time which will aid their weight loss programmes.
