-- The negative effects of drinking too much coffee are well documented; however, when consumed in moderation, the beverage offers an array of potential health benefits. The significant research done on this drink is proof enough, bringing to attention the benefits it offers, such as prolonged life, protection from Parkinson’s, reduced risk of Alzheimer’s, and a decline in the possibility of heart disease and type 2 diabetes to name a few.
According to new research, it’s also possible to reduce the risk of developing gallstones by consuming coffee, which is great news for coffee shops, such as The Glass Knife Restaurant & Bakery Café across the country.
A recent study was conducted which included approximately 105,000 people for eight years. According to the study’s findings, people who drank fewer or more than six cups per day of coffee their risk of developing painful gallstones reduced by up to 23 percent.
Higher coffee intake is directly correlated to a reduced risk of gallstone disease, according to a chief physician from the Copenhagen University Hospital. While this is good news, particular for those who enjoy their coffee, but there are more questions. What about individuals who drink just two cups per day. Research has a positive answer. Findings showed that the gallstone risk is significantly reduced by drinking just one to two cups of this beverage per day.
An example of this is that people drinking a single cup a day still enjoy a three percent reduced risk of developing these stones and those who drink three to six cups per day see a 17 percent reduction. However, researchers are still determining what’s in coffee that helps reduce this risk. Currently, it’s only speculation and more research is needed to determine the beneficial component.
Gallstones are very hard, almost pebble-like pieces that form in the gallbladder, which explains why they are called gallstones. It’s a painful condition and when the situation gets severe, the stones can block a person’s bile ducts and surgery may be required to remove the stones safely.
If coffee is effective at reducing the likelihood of this painful condition, it’s worth it, as there are already millions of people around the globe who consume this beverage each day in some form. This means that many people are inadvertently reducing the risk they are going to suffer from a painful condition that there is no actual cure – either let them pass or have them surgically removed.
As the popularity of coffee grows, and more people consume the beverage than in the past, the health benefits it offers are also being explored more and more. As there are researchers across the globe looking into possible health benefits, it’s difficult to know what other benefits this energy-providing beverage may have to offer. This is something that needs to continue being explored by those who are dedicated to unlocking all coffee’s secrets.
Regardless of where a person acquires their coffee – at home, from The Glass Knife, or one of the millions of other bakeries, coffee houses, or restaurants around the globe, knowing that not only are they getting a much-needed pick-me-up for their day, but they are also consuming a beverage that is good for their health in many ways, not just the well-known health benefits.
