COFFEE? YES, PLEASE.
Joe Vinson is a firm believer in the positive effects of coffee. Vinson, professor of chemistry at the University of Scranton in Pennsylvania, has studied the effects of coffee and tea, tells his students to drink coffee before taking his tests because it can stimulate brain activity and increase short-term memory. Drinking coffee can also reduce the risk of heart disease and Type 2 diabetes. In addition to improving your ability to remember those last minutes of cramming, it appears that people who drink coffee also retain cognitive sharpness longer into their lives.
Vinson says that while the effects of caffeine can be both good and bad, the antioxidants in coffee can outweigh the negative effects it possesses. Some studies show that soda may increase the risk of heart disease while coffee decreases that same risk.
Vinson says people who already have Type 2 diabetes should stay away from caffeinated coffee,but for those who don't,coffee can reduce the chances of getting it later in life.Vinson says tea does not have these benefits.
Antioxidants in coffee can also improve your body's ability to use energy, and this results in better athletic performance.Vinson suggests drinking a dose of coffee before working out as it can increase endurance and speed.
As with anything else, moderation is important. Vinson says no amount of coffee will necessarily harm your body, as long as you can get to sleep at night.
