 To the joy of many coffee admirers,Should Coffee Lovers be Thrilled? Articles even drinking coffee in large doses does not increase the chances of getting of atrial fibrillation. The study was conducted by leading Swedish researchers in the field of epidemiology. In fact, the scientists prove that moderate consumption of coffee is not only safe, but also useful.

 

The thing is that coronary arteries tend to accumulate calcium, which is a frequent cause of heart disease. The study finds that people who regularly drink coffee have a much lower risk of having such calcium deposits. As a matter of fact, their heart muscle functions better owing to the healthy coronary arteries that imbue the heart muscle with oxygen. The risk goes down for people who drink one cup a day, let alone those who are in the habit of drinking two to five mugs. This conclusion was made by Dr. E. Guallar, a leading researcher at Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore, MD.

 

The Swedish group of scientists proved that there was no connection between coffee consumption and further heart disease development. The researchers studied 12 years in the life of nearly 40,000 men and women to investigate the possibility of them developing atrial fibrillation. What they found out was only a small increase in disease risk, mostly pertaining to the males. The increase was so insignificant that the scientists viewed it as simple chance.

 

Confirmed by six other six, the scientists found that regular caffeine intake does not cause atrial fibrillation, but it doesn't exclude the risk of development other increased heart-beating conditions.

 

Sadly, the study of the Swedish group does not deny the fact that coffee drinking is highly associated with increased blood pressure, affecting 3 in 10 adults which is the regular reason for heart failures. However, a regular coffee drinking habit largely decreases the chances of abrupt blood pressure experiences.

 

To the credit of regular coffee drinking, the risk of type 2 diabetes, the major cause of heart attacks, lessens due to the antioxidant qualities of caffeine. In fact, the risk of diabetes type 2 decreases by 7 percent, according to the 2009 study.

 

While the topic of whether or not to drink coffee is widely discussed, dieting experts advise not to consider coffee as a healthy drink. Moreover, they believe that people who are not in the habit of drinking coffee should not consider picking it up. The main thing is getting enough exercising and having a healthy diet.
