Common Health Problems with Coffee Intake and Medical Benefits of using Ginseng together with Coffee

Common Health Problems and Risks with Coffee Intake

Coffee usually makes you feel fatigue and gloom along with an uncomfortable sensation. These are the usual symptoms; what is worse is that finally when you try to sleep away your blues at night, you just can't. That's not the end. The next morning you get up tired, thirsting for a steaming cup to settle your mood. Thus begins a coffeeholic's journey. At the end of which, apart from developing dark circles under the eyes, you also acquire acidity problems, irregular palpitations and more. In most people, the caffeine in a cup of coffee speeds the heart rate. A cup of coffee temporarily boosts blood pressure; however the latest national guidelines on blood pressure report that most research has shown no clear connection between caffeine intake and a very high blood pressure. In one study of about 1,000 men, blood pressures were slightly higher in those who had five or more cups a day than in people who didn't drink coffee. Two substances in brewed coffee -- kahweol and cafestol -- increase cholesterol levels. In 2001, two very different studies showed a connection between coffee consumption and homocysteine. High levels of homocysteine in the bloodstream may increase the risk for heart disease. Therefore, anything that raises homocysteine levels might increase the risk for heart disease. Indeed, in a survey of more than 3,000 Dutch men and women, homocysteine levels were slightly higher in those who drank six or more cups a day compared with those who didn't drink coffee. In another study, homocysteine levels fell among coffee drinkers who quit for six weeks. In some people, drinking coffee leads to the occasional extra heartbeats or speeds up the heart's rhythm.
