Coffee Not Make High Blood
Michigan, many people avoid coffee for fear of having high blood pressure or hypertension. According to recent research, there is nothing to fear because the coffee is not shown to trigger an increase in blood pressure even if taken daily.
Zhenzhen Zhang, researchers from Michigan State University show that after tracing three scientific studies that looked at the coffee drinking habits in 172 567 participants. All three involve long-term observations made during 33 years.
Of the many participants, only 37.35 people or about 1 in 5 who reported suffering from high blood pressure. When comparing takanan drink coffee every day with other risk factors, researchers concluded that coffee is not a trigger hypertension.
Increased blood pressure is not observed in participants who drank coffee in the lowest portion of which is 1 cup / day (1 cup: 237 ml). Similarly, in participants who drank 1-3 cups / day, blood pressure differences observed were not significant enough.
However, researchers note that individual responses to the coffee is not always the same. Someone who has a history of hypertension in the family may be more at risk than healthy people as in this study.
"For most people, drinking coffee regularly is totally harmless but for others it is not necessarily so," Shang said in a report in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, as quoted from Medicalnewstoday.
Zhang's conclusion is justified by a cardiologist at Mount Sinai Medical Center in New York, Prof. Lawrence Krakoff. According to him, various studies so far failed to prove that coffee is the main trigger an increase in blood pressure in hypertensive patients.
"If someone is drinking 12 cups a day and not sleep, I can only assume that it is indeed dangerous," said Prof. Krakoff as quoted from Dailymail.
