Coffee is known as a drink that gives you energy in the morning, but scientists have managed to discover another of its properties. As studies have shown, coffee is useful for men, as its regular consumption helps prevent erectile problems. Scientists claim that coffee works like well-known drugs for impotence – it improves blood flow to the genitals.
A new study was conducted at the Health Research Center, which is located at the Texas Institute. Experts are confident that black coffee can replace such an expensive drug as Viagra. In order to avoid incidents during intimacy, scientists recommend that men drink 2-4 cups of coffee a day, and the drink can help even if there are already problems with erection, although coffee will not get rid of them completely.
Scientists have been studying the properties of coffee for a long time, it was previously established that it helps prevent melanoma and diabetes. To do this, you need to drink at least 4 cups of coffee a day, this is the amount of caffeine that allows you to reduce the likelihood of developing these diseases.
This study may please true coffee lovers and make those who do not like this invigorating and aromatic drink think twice.
According to studies, coffee not only prevents skin cancer, but also improves health in diabetes and cardiovascular diseases. Experts noted that such an effect is possible only if you drink 4 or more cups of high-quality black coffee per day without adding sugar.
Also, several months ago, scientists found that lovers of strong aromatic drinks live longer. As studies have shown, people who drink 4 or more cups of coffee a day die less often from cancer, heart and vascular problems, diabetes, and viral infections.
These results were obtained by scientists after conducting a large-scale study, in which about 100 thousand volunteers took part. Scientists observed the health of the participants for several years and found that those who drank several cups of coffee a day were healthier than those who did not drink this drink at all.
Scientists have found that 3-5 cups of coffee daily (about 40 mg) do not lead to the health problems attributed to this drink in other studies, but help slow the development of cancer cells. True, coffee helps prevent only a few types of cancer, but that's not bad either.
Scientists also noted that coffee lovers are less likely to commit suicide, which is probably due to the fact that coffee invigorates, improves mood, and makes all feelings more vivid.
In the States, 65% of Americans treat themselves to a cup of coffee every day during breakfast.
The debate about the benefits and harms of the aromatic drink has been going on for a long time, but in any case, you should not abuse this drink, as everything is good in moderation.
By the way, according to some data, in 30-35 years the number of coffee beans on our planet may decrease by half, and in another 30 years they may disappear completely.
