The Caffeine in Coffee is known as a stimulator that increases alertness and improves your ability to concentrate. Hence the reason most of us drink it. Coffee drinkers must have their coffee every day! There are claims that caffeine has additional health benefits, such as the ability to decrease risk of disease, improve athletic performance and boost memory.
An analysis which was completed by scientists at the Karolinska Institute in Stockholm, Sweden was published in the American Journal of Epidemiology and revealed that people who drank two cups of coffee a day were 14 percent less likely to suffer from a stroke. The analysis was combined statistics from eight studies conducted between 1960 and 2011 that had researched the correlation between coffee consumption and human health. The analysis included the results of surveys from some 500,000 individuals.
There are a lot of varying views and of course scientific opinion is sometimes strongly divided on the accreditation of coffee as having potential health benefits. Whether it is clear or not there are strong indications from the experiences of individuals and some nutritionists that consuming coffee may help in lowering the incidence of type 2 diabetes and heart disease and may provide other health benefits.
Let’s take a look at some research so far that indicate there may be some truth in the health potential of coffee:
Help in reducing the risk of stroke
The Karolinska Institute researchers found that individuals who drank two and three cups of coffee a day appeared to be less likely to suffer from a blood clot in the brain by 14 and 17 percent, respectively. According to the published findings the antioxidants found in coffee may help shield the brain’s blood vessels from so-called “bad” cholesterol.
Help in Lowering the risk of heart disease
Although Caffeine intake may cause an increase in blood pressure a Harvard Nurses’ Health Study published that they did not find habitual caffeine intake as a reason for increases in the risk of cardiovascular disease. Further the Journal of Epidemiology and Human Health noted that drinking two cups daily reduced the risk of dying from heart disease by 23 percent. This was according to a Japanese study of 81,000 men and women .
Lowering the incidence of type 2 diabetes
One 2004 study, where more than 125,000 participants were observed, the researchers theorized that it is the antioxidants in coffee (specifically ones like chlorogenic acid and magnesium) that helped improve insulin sensitivity.
Helping with memory, alertness, and reasoning
For all the coffee drinkers, we all know what happens when we have that first cup or two of coffee to wake us up. Women 65 and older may find it very interesting to know that a 2007 French study appear to reveal that the caffeine in coffee helped slow “cognitive decline.
About gallstone formation and gallbladder disease
If you are concerned about gallstone a study released in 2009 found that men who drank two to three cups of coffee daily were 40 percent less likely to develop gallstones compared to non-drinkers. According to Authorities moderate consumption of caffeinated coffee helps with stimulating contractions in the gallbladder and lowering the cholesterol in the bile that can cause the stones to form.
Helping to protect against chronic liver disease
Some research seems to suggest that if you are at risk of developing liver disease because of heavy alcohol consumption you may benefit from drinking a couple of cups of coffee daily. Indications are that Coffee may lower the risk of the development of elevated liver enzymes, cirrhosis, and liver cancer.
All the above is based on moderation. We all know that we survive on more than one cup daily.

Organo Gold coffee’s key ingredient is Ganoderma— a form of mushroom that grows on wood that has been used in traditional Asian medicines for over 4000 years. You can research the benefits of Ganoderma at the US National Library – pubmed.gov. Health News Volume 20 Number 4 also provides you with the personal experiences of people who have used Ganoderma.

People I know who have used the coffee have stated that they have experienced benefits such as improvement in balancing blood sugar, blood pressure, migraine headaches etc. I have personally tried all their products. I had stopped drinking coffee because of the side effects – acid reflux, restlessness and insomnia. Now I drink Organo Gold Coffee during the day and I feel great, sleep well and I do not have acid reflux. I have also not gotten the flu. Of course our bodies are all different. I challenge you to try a box and let me know your experiences.
These are my views based on my personal experiences, the experiences of people I know and on online research. I would love to hear your views.
