Positive side of coffee

Some of the analysis have shown that regular coffee drinking in the long run greatly reduce the chance of disease from diabetes type 2. In addition to diabetes, reduces the chance for getting Alzheimer’s or Parkinson’s disease. One of the main and most controversial ingredient in coffee is certainly caffeine, which in addition to antioxidants plays an important role in combating the above-mentioned possible diseases. Therefore, in combination, can act preventively to many diseases and strengthen the complete immune system.

In addition, some argue that coffee is very good prevention for liver cancer and  bile stone. However, in all this you should not exaggerate, because it is not recommended drinking more than 3 cups of coffee a day. Also, if you consume espresso, always choose short rather than long, because it is better choice for your heart.

The negative side of coffee

What many experts cite to justify their claims about the harmful effects of coffee is the caffeine. In fact, you probably did not know but the coffee plant produces caffeine to successfully protect against various insects that attack it. So in this case, caffeine has the role of toxins against insects.

This is one of the strongest reasons why some think that coffee is unhealthy and harmful to the human body. In addition to these claims, it is known that caffeine from coffee encourage greater production of adrenaline from the adrenal glands, which could be reflected so that our body is constantly under stress if you drink coffee daily. These jumps and fluctuations of adrenaline and muscle pumps can eventually lead to various heart diseases.
