New Study on Coffee and Your Heart - Scientists Identify the Mechanisms by Which Coffee May Improve Heart Health on a Cellular Level
GREENVILLE, S.C. (PRWEB) June 29, 2018 -- The recent study from the Heinrich Heine University in Dusseldorf, Germany confirms what years of scientific research has shown: coffee has beneficial effects for the circulatory system and specifically for heart health.* This new study shows that 3–6 cups of coffee per day strengthens damaged heart muscle cells adds to studies that find coffee improves circulatory function and decreases risk of heart failure. The antioxidants in coffee have been proven to repair damage to blood vessels and have anti-hypertensive effects**, protecting against cardiovascular disease and heart attacks.***
Purity Coffee, a health-conscious coffee company, clarifies that the health benefits of coffee comes not just from caffeine but also from the high levels of antioxidants found in coffee.**** They caution that conflating coffee with caffeine confuses the scientific proof of why coffee is good for heart health.
Andrew Salisbury, an expert on issues surrounding coffee and health, and Co-founder of Purity Coffee stated, “Coffee contributes the most antioxidants to the Western diet due to its richness of chlorogenic acids (CGAs). There are a number of valuable compounds in coffee, besides caffeine, like trigonelline, cafestol, and kahweol that also contribute to its many health benefits. However, this study is further evidence that drinking great quality organic coffee is one of the easiest adjustments you can make to improve overall health.”
