Coffee and Health
Research indicates that coffee provides protective effects for the following conditions:
1.Asthma – Drinking coffee can help to control asthma, and in some cases can even be used to treat an asthma attack when conventional medication is not available.
2.Gallstones – The likelihood of developing gallstones is decreased nearly 50% by drinking at least 2 cups of coffee per day.
3.Parkinson’s disease – 6 studies have found that regular (caffeinated) coffee drinkers reduce their risk of developing Parkinson’s disease by as much as 80%.
4.Tooth decay – A compound in coffee called Trigonelline has anti-adhesive and antibacterial properties, which helps prevent cavities.
5.Type 2 Diabetes – A Harvard longitudinal study of 126,000 people found that 1 to 3 cups of caffeinated coffee per day can reduce the risk of developing diabetes by less than 10%, while 6 or more cups per day reduces women’s risk by 30% and men’s by 54%. Drinking decaffeinated coffee reduces the risk for diabetes by approximately half that achieved with caffeinated coffee.
6.Colon cancer – 2 or more cups of coffee per day can reduce the risk of colon cancer by 25%.
7.Headache – Coffee cures or diminishes some types of headaches.
8.Liver cirrhosis – The risk for this condition is reduced by 80% with the ingestion of 2 or more cups of coffee each day.

Though caffeine is responsible for the short-term effect of coffee, there is a complex blend of chemicals in coffee. Therefore the speed with which one gains energy by drinking coffee will fade equally fast. Coffee if had before bedtime may delay your sleeping routine.
The talk on decaffeinated section brings to the aspect of health attached to drinking coffee. Caffeine in coffee is know to increase blood pressure and increases heartbeat. But recent research establishes that this effect is actually milder than what it was thought to be. On the other hand there are several benefits of drinking Coffee.
