Coffee to prevent diabetes? Drinking too much is a problem

Drinking three cups of coffee a day can prevent diabetes ?

This is not a new topic. As early as 2014, there was research that drinking coffee can alleviate the development of type 2 diabetes. Through a follow-up survey of nearly 1.6 million people, the study found that people who drank 3 cups of coffee a day had a 37% lower risk of diabetes than those who drank a cup a day.

Surprise?

Why is coffee so " magic "?

In fact, there is no clear conclusion about the relationship between coffee and diabetes.

Coffee may improve the body's subclinical inflammation by promoting the energy consumption of our body; it may also be due to the magnesium in the coffee, which reduces insulin resistance; or caffeine reduces the amount of sugar in our body, affecting lipids Oxidation. Or other substances contained in coffee to improve the body's sugar metabolism.

Not only is the "hypoglycemic" mechanism unclear, but even whether it can "drug-reducing" is also controversial. Although many studies have shown that an appropriate increase in coffee intake can effectively reduce the risk of diabetes, some studies have found that caffeine not only does not lower blood sugar , but also rises.

In order to prevent diabetes, drink three cups a day?

Can it be hypoglycemic, is it right to drink?

Drinking no coffee, how much coffee to drink, or careful consideration.

In fact, not only type 2 diabetes, but also studies have found that coffee is associated with a reduced risk of multiple cancers. However, we cannot ignore cardiovascular problems. Caffeine in coffee has the effect of exciting the cerebral cortex, exciting the heart, and expanding blood vessels. If you take too much, or cause excitement, restlessness, palpitations , insomnia, etc., even cause convulsions .

Of course, don't be too cautious. Low doses of caffeine are really beneficial to our body. It allows us to restore our spirit and create a feeling of pleasure and relaxation.For healthy people, 300-400 mg of caffeine per day, or about four or five cups of coffee, does not cause health problems.

However, caffeine may affect the fetus and even be teratogenic. Therefore, women of childbearing age should not consume more than 300mg per day, and it is best not to drink coffee during pregnancy.

Finally, to tell the truth, to prevent type 2 diabetes, it is still based on the usual control of the diet, as well as a lot of exercise, do not be lazy, just relying on three more cups of coffee, may not change anything.
