NHS Doctor: Coffee's Surprising Health Boost Revealed
9 Dec
Summary
- Moderate coffee consumption linked to increased longevity.
- Caffeine may lower risks of cardiovascular disease.
- Coffee beans contain beneficial polyphenols and antioxidants.
Contrary to widespread health warnings, an NHS GP has advocated for the benefits of moderate coffee consumption. Dr. Renee Hoenderkamp shared on TikTok that, unless consumed in excessive quantities, coffee can positively impact health and potentially extend lifespan.
She personally consumes around five cups daily, noting that moderate coffee drinkers often show increased longevity and a reduced risk of premature death. Studies suggest that caffeine intake can be associated with a lower likelihood of developing cardiovascular disease and a decreased mortality rate from all causes.
The doctor further elaborated that coffee beans are a source of abundant polyphenols, antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals. These beneficial compounds are released into the beverage during the roasting and milling processes, contributing to coffee's overall health advantages.
