Contrary to many beliefs about the effects of caffeine, a new study has proved that caffeine is actually beneficial. This new researched showed that women who drank four cups of coffee a day, or the equivalent amount of caffeine to that, have better mental health and are less likely to become depressed than women who do not. Dr. Alberto Ascherio explains that coffee keeps people more happy and active on day-to-day basis, therefore leading to better mental health in the long run. Their research also showed that women who regularly drank coffee were less likely to be obese or have high blood pressure. Coffee can also help with reducing strokes and improving cardiovascular health.
Seeing as I am an earnest coffee drinker, this article came as great news to me. I simply cannot start my day without my morning cup of coffee, and I really don’t know what I would do without my regular jolt of caffeine to get me going in the morning. Also, there has been much controversy over the years about coffee and whether it is good or bad for you. For a while, the consensus seemed that coffee had overall negative effects, so it is interesting and refreshing to hear some benefits that result from drinking coffee. Preventing depression in women is definitely a significant effect of coffee, especially since twice as many women experience depression than men. With these newfound results, many women might feel much better about the amount of caffeine they intake, and it might cause others to consider drinking it on a regular basis.
