Can Coffee Prevent Alzheimer’s?

Can Coffee Prevent Alzheimer’s?
By Craig Wallin

Fifth Cup of Coffee!

Your morning cup of coffee may protect you from a variety of diseases, from Alzheimer’s to diabetes to Parkinson’s. Several studies have suggested that regular consumption of caffeine reduces the risk of Alzheimer’s and dementia.

But there is a catch, it seems. A cup or two are not enough to produce the optimum benefits, according to Dr. Gary Arendash, a leading Alzheimer’s researcher who has been studying the effects of caffeine on the brain. He says 500 milligrams of caffeine – equal to five cups of coffee – seems to be the amount necessary to produce a protective effect. According to Arendash, “I drink five to six cups a day religiously.”

His study used mice that were bred to develop Alzheimer’s. After two months (about 6 human years) of drinking caffeinated water, the mice performed much better on memory and thinking tests compared to the mice given only water. In addition, the caffeinated mice had a 50 percent reduction in beta amyloid, a hallmark of Alzheimer’s disease.

Another large, long-term study, conducted in Finland, found men and women who drank 3-5 cups of coffee per day were 65 percent less likely to develop Alzheimer’s disease twenty years later. Other studies indicate people who are regular coffee drinkers are up to 80 percent less likely to develop Parkinson’s disease.

Why coffee? In addition to it’s stimulating effects, coffee is also high in antioxidants. Many of us get more daily antioxidants from coffee than from fruits and vegetables! Studies have also shown that coffee cuts the risk of diabetes, as it improves insulin sensitivity.

COFFEE DRINKING TIPS

Drink it black. You’ll get more health benefits from coffee if you skip the additives. Okay, I know some of you can’t imagine anything other than a Grande caramel macchiato, but just try it plain!
Drink it early. Most folks find drinking coffee later in the day can keep them up at night. Find your “cut off point” and skip the coffee after that time to avoid insomnia.
Drink it fresh. To maximize the flavor and prevent oxidation and loss of nutrients, coffee is best when fresh-ground.
Drink it in moderation. Sure, the experts say you’ll get the most benefits from 5 or so cups a day, but listen to your body. You may need to keep your coffee consumption at a lower level to feel your best. Coffee may cause digestive problems, jitters or insomnia in certain people, so cut back if you have any side effects. Doctors also recommend that if you’re pregnant or being treated for some medical conditions, such as high blood pressure, it’s best to avoid or restrict caffeine.

Don’t forget that tea also contains caffeine (A cup of black tea has about half as much caffeine as a cup of coffee and a cup of green tea has about a quarter as much) and other beneficial compounds, and is less likely to produce side effects.

Coffee promotes cortisol production and weight gain

Coffee promotes cortisol production and weight gain
Wednesday, January 18, 2012 by: Celeste M. Smucker, MPH, PhD
See all articles by this author:

(NaturalNews) Conventional wisdom about weight loss suggests coffee may be a good addition to a diet plan since it has minimal calories and no fat. While this seems logical, a more holistic view evaluates coffee from the perspective of its influence on the body's ability to metabolize the other food we eat. Recent studies suggest that despite its low calorie count, coffee may actually promote weight gain as well as type 2 diabetes by stimulating cortisol production and insulin resistance.


Caffeine stimulates cortisol production
One of the roles of cortisol, known as the stress hormone, is to help facilitate the fight or flight mechanism designed to save us from physical threat. When the body is stressed, cortisol's job is to up blood pressure and speed carbohydrate and fat metabolism, increasing the amount of blood sugar in the system to feed muscles and cells so they can function more effectively when stressed. Cortisol also promotes the release of insulin necessary to facilitate movement of glucose into the cells.

This cortisol-induced demand for blood sugar causes us to feel hungry, encouraging us to eat more despite our best intentions. Of course this situation is exacerbated if we drink more coffee when we are also under stress. If our response to the increased cortisol were physical, like running away from a perceived threat or choosing instead to fight, we might burn off the extra fuel. However, in today's world since most stress is mental or emotional and rarely due to actual physical threat, weight gain is a likely result. In addition, faced with consistently elevated insulin levels, our cells will tend to become resistant to its effect making them less able to utilize our now elevated levels of blood sugar. This insulin resistance condition is often followed by a diagnosis of type 2 diabetes.


Regular coffee drinking may increase tolerance to cortisol response
While caffeine prompts cortisol production, a 2005 study published in the journal Psychosomatic Medicine found that regular coffee drinking increases our tolerance, blunting this effect somewhat. Subjects in this study who were given caffeine after a five-day fast showed cortisol spikes in the morning; an effect which diminished after several days of regular exposure. However, researchers also found that when subjects were exposed to caffeine continuously throughout the day, cortisol levels began to rise again in the afternoon. Further results also showed that study participants prone to high blood pressure reacted more strongly to the caffeine than did others and produced more cortisol.

This means for people who sip coffee throughout the day, there is a good chance their body will respond by eventually producing more cortisol encouraging weight gain and/or the development of type 2 diabetes, especially those who are hypertensive. On the other hand, for those who limit their intake of coffee to one or two cups first thing in the morning their cortisol response may be less serious.


Cortisol promotes fat storage
According to Shawn Talbott, PhD, author of The Cortisol Connection, another one of cortisol's roles is to encourage our bodies to store fat; a process that is helped along by higher levels of insulin. Unfortunately, this particular fat often gets located in the abdominal area causing a condition that may be associated not only with diabetes but also with heart disease, high cholesterol and hypertension.

For all of these reasons, in spite of its minimal calories, drinking coffee may not be a good decision for anyone who's goal is to lose weight.

Despre cafea...

Istoria cafelei este la fel de bogata ca insasi cafeaua, datand de mai mult de 1000 de ani.
In Occident, istoria cafelei incepe acum trei secole, dar in Orientul Mijlociu ea este consumata de toate paturile sociale inca din vechime.

Prima referinta la cafea, din surse inregistrate, dateaza din secolul al IX-lea, dar cu multe secole inainte, existau multe legende arabe despre bautura misterioasa si amara cu puteri stimulatoare.
Primele plante de cafea au fost aduse pe coastele Marii Rosii din Africa.La inceput cafeaua era considerata aliment si nu bautura. Triburile est-africane macinau boabele crude de cafea si prin amestecarea cu grasime animala obtineau o pasta pe care o modelau sub forma de bile. Acestea erau consumate de razboinicii tribului pentru a avea mai multa energie in timpul luptelor.


Incepand cu anul 1000 e.n., renumitul tamaduitor Avicenna, administra cafeaua in chip de medicament. Etiopienii obtineau un fel de vin din fructele de cafea, prin fermentarea in apa a boabelor uscate. Cafeaua crestea in mod natural si in Peninsula Arabiei si din secolul 11 aici cafeaua a fost preparata ca bautura calda.

Asa-numitele proprietati stimulative ale cafelei au fost considerate de multi in acele timpuri stravechi, generatoarele unui fel de extaz religios, iar cafeaua ca bautura si-a castigat o reputatie mistica, invaluita in mister si asociata cu preotii si doctorii. De aceea nu este surprinzator ca doua legende puternice au aparut pentru a explica descoperirea acestei boabe magice.
O istorie apocrifa datand de pe la 1400, povesteste despre un pazitor de capre yemenit, pe nume Khaldi, care a observat cum caprele sale deveneau neastamparate si energice dupa ce mancau fructele rosii care cresteau in tufisurile necunoscute de pe aceste meleaguri. Uimit de comportamentul lor, Khaldi a dus fructe la o manastire din apropiere, unde staretul a fiert fructele in apa. Acesta a obtinut un lichid amar dar aromat, foarte stimulator, care alunga oboseala si somnolenta.
Cealalta poveste este aceea a unui dervis musulman care a fost condamnat de dusmanii lui sa rataceasca prin desert si astfel sa moara de foame. In delirul sau, tanarul a auzit o voce care ii spunea sa manance fructele dintr-un arbore de cafea din apropiere. Dervisul a incercat sa inmoaie fructele in apa si cand nu a reusit, pur si simplu a baut lichidul acela. Interpretand supravietuirea si energia sa ca pe un semn de la Dumnezeu, s-a intors la ai sai si a raspandit credinta si reteta acestei bauturi.
Asemenea legende sunt bineinteles neconfirmate, dar exista anumite fapte referitoare la raspandirea arborelui de cafea, care sunt bine documentate. Se pare ca originea cafelei se afla pe continentul african, intr-o zona a Etiopiei cunoscuta sub numele de "Kaffa". De acolo ea se raspandeste in Yemen, apoi in Arabia si Egipt. Cultivarea cafelei s-a extins rapid in toate aceste tari si servitul cafelei a devenit un obicei zilnic placut. Spre sfarsitul sec. al XIV-lea, societatile care practicau comertul au inceput sa-si dea seama de marele potetial pe care il reprezinta cafeaua si au lansat-o cu succes in Europa.



Cererea de cafea in Orientul Apropiat era extrem de mare si toate transporturile de cafea care paraseau Yemenul cu destinatia Alexandria si Constantinopol erau foarte bine controlate si pazite pentru ca nici o planta sa nu iasa din tara. In ciuda acestor restrictii, musulmanii in timpul pelerinajului lor la Mecca, au reusit sa ascunda si sa ia cu ei plante de cafea si sa le cultive in tarile lor. Astfel, a inceput cultivarea cafelei in India.

Cafeaua a intrat in Europa la acea vreme prin portul Venetia, unde aveau loc schimburile comerciale cu negustorii arabi. Bautura a devenit obisnuita in randul populatiei in momentul in care vanzatorii ambulanti de limonada au inclus-o in oferta lor ca alternativa la bauturile reci. De asemeni, multi dintre negustorii europeni au inceput sa bea cafea in calatoriile lor si au adus acest obicei in Europa.
Asemanarile fonetice dintre cuvantul "cafea" si echivalentii sai europeni ( in italiana "caffe", in franceza "caffé" si "kaffee" in germana, de exemplu), i-au determinat pe oameni sa creada ca numele provine din "Kaffa", provincia etiopiana de unde cafeaua isi trage obarsia. Dar o alta ipoteza a sugerat ca acest cuvant povine din arabescul "quahwek", care inseamna "stimulant".

Pe la mijlocul secolului 17, olandezii dominau comertul naval si au introdus cultivarea la scara mare a cafelei in coloniile lor din Indonezia, pe insulele Java, Sumatra, Sulawesi si Bali. Cafeaua a ajuns in America Latina cateva decenii mai tarziu cand francezii au adus o planta de cafea in Martinica. La jumatatea secolului 19, o boala rara a plantelor s-a raspandit prin plantatiile de cafea din Asia de sud-est si culturile au fost compromise. Astfel, Brazilia a devenit cea mai mare producatoare de cafea, onoare pe care o detine si astazi.

Este interesant ca, desi cafeaua este originara din Africa, cultivarea arborelui in aceasta parte a lumii este relativ recenta. De fapt, plantatorii britanici au fost cei care au reintrodus cresterea cafelei in Africa, chiar dupa Primul Razboi Mondial, infiintand plantatii in zone care ofereau un climat si un sol propice infloririi arborelui
Pentru a obtine o cafea extraordinara este important sa se tina seama de patru pasi:

Macinarea cafelei
Pentru fiecare metoda de preparare este necesar un grad diferit de macinare, intrucat gustul final al cafelei este influentat de timpul in care apa si cafeaua sunt in contact direct. De exemplu in cazul in care se pregateste cafeaua cu o cafetiera, aceasta trebuie macinata mai mare, deoarece timpul de contact dintre apa si cafea este de aproximativ patru minute, in timp ce cafeaua pregatita pentru cu un expresor trebuie sa fie mai fin macinata, intrucat prepararea ei dureaza in jur de 20 secunde.

Cu cat timpul de pregatire al cafelei este mai mic cu atat cafeaua trebuie sa fie mai fin macinata.

Dozarea cafelei
Unul dintre pasi cei mai importanti in prepararea unei cafele bune este folosirea proportiei potrivite de cafea si apa. Aceasta propotie difera in functie de reteta folosita.
Cele mai bune dozari se produc prin combinarea mai multor tipuri de cafea din diferite parti ale lumii. Proprietatile si caracteristicile lor variate se combina pentru a asigura un echilibru de buchet si aroma.

Amestecurile de varietati Arabica pura tind spre o cafea mai moderata si mai aromata, in timp ce amestecurile de Arabica si Robusta au o pulpa mai bogata si o aroma mai puternica.

Apa
O ceasca cu cafea contine 98% apa, din aceasta cauza apa folosita la prepararea cafelei trebuie sa fie curata. Pentru a obtine gustul si aroma cafelei apa trebuie incalzita pana aproape de punctul de fierbere , 96°C.

Prospetimea cafelei
Ca in cazul oricarui produs alimentar, si in cazul cafelei este de preferat sa se consume prospata. Oxigenul, caldura, lumina si umezeala sunt principalii factori care duc la pierderea calitatii cafelei.
Pentru a pastra prospetimea cafelei, aceasta trebuie tinuta intr-un recipient, opac, inchis ermetic si la temperatura camerei.

Nu este indicat, in cazul cafelei folosite zilnic, pastrarea acesteea in frigider sau congelator, intrucat aerul cald patruns in recipient la fiecare utilizare condenseaza.
Cafeaua boabe se patreaza proaspata mai mult timp decat cea macinata, deoarece suprafata de contact cu oxigenul este mult mai mica. De aceea pentru rezultate cat mai bune cafeaua trebuie macinata inainte de utilizare.
