Lovers of strong coffee, who have the same strong health, can not limit themselves in their favorite drink. As recent studies have shown, coffee does not cause a rise in pressure, according to an online edition for girls and women aged 14 to 35 years Pannochka. Net Since caffeine can cause a sharp rise in blood pressure, it was believed that drinking coffee can lead to the development or worsening of hypertension.

Scientific studies have shown that the relationship between coffee consumption and increased blood pressure does not have sufficient statistical validity.

The latest work, published in the Journal of Clinical Nutrition, showed that women who consumed up to six cups of coffee a day did not suffer from increased blood pressure during the next 10 years.

On the other hand, those who drank coffee occasionally or in quantities of up to three cups risked hypertension more than those who abstained from drinking coffee or drank it in large quantities.

For men, drinking coffee did not change the incidence of hypertension.

The results were obtained by Dutch scientists in the analysis of stories of more than 6,400 men and women, followed by observation for 11 years. Participants reported on their eating habits and life habits, medical history and heredity.

For 11 years, they risked getting hypertension, oddly enough, those who drank coffee moderately than those who abused it or did not drink at all.

An explanation for this fact can be an addiction to the effects of caffeine and insensitivity to it.

While coffee increased blood pressure in some people, it did not show an increase in the level of cardiovascular disease in relatively healthy patients.

When measuring the benefit / risk ratio, scientists advise not to limit themselves to coffee, as it reduces the risk of diabetes without increasing the risk of hypertension.
