Jakarta - Drinking a cup of coffee every day may become your routine. Unsweetened black coffee is good. And the coffee is also reportedly said the secret to the longevity of the population in Greece. How is this possible?
drink a cup of coffee in the morning or afternoon a mandatory routine most people in Jakarta. It seems not yet able to indulge the most if not already in touch with this black beverage. Some studies also found that coffee may prevent heart disease and help people live longer.
Research at the University of Athens found that by drinking a cup of coffee each day can increase the elasticity of arteries. So keep you from heart attacks due to arterial vessels are not working properly.
Researchers have been analyzing it on 485 people with high blood pressure. Research subjects were aged between 65 to 100 years, who lived on the island of Ikaria, Greece. Ikaria Island is an island known for his third of the population has reached 90 years of age.
Dr.Christina Chrysohoou who led the study, said if there is a slightly odd relationship between drinking coffee with heart disease. Many people think that if by drinking coffee will create increasingly severe heart disease but does not apply in this island of Ikaria.
Drinking coffee became social tradition that has been embedded in the culture of Greece. However, the rate of death from heart disease tend to be very small even higher life expectancy. This makes Dr.Christina Chrysohoou with the team investigating the population on the island.
Some 56% of people who drink coffee as much as one to two cups a day, it makes it elastic arteries. These vessels normally function as well as in people younger. Even more elastic than those who drank no coffee at all.
According to Drs. Chrysohoou, with bitter black coffee drinking as much as 25-50 ml each day can improve artery function because caffeine can make nitric oxide, especially in patients with hypertension. This is of course coupled with a healthy lifestyle and regular exercise.
