Coffee Lowers Strokes in Women

Apr 15, 2009

Women who love coffee have an even better reason to drink up on their favorite java blends.

New research conducted by Harvard Medical School and the Harvard School of Public Health now reveals that some women can reduce their risk of stroke by drinking more coffee. The study of 83,000 women revealed that drinkers of five to seven cups of coffee a week were 12% less likely to have a stroke than those who just drank one cup per month. Keep in mind that all of these successes were otherwise healthy and did not have conditions such as insomnia, anxiety, high blood pressure, or cardiac complications.

According to  German experts on stroke prevention in Berlin, the benefit does not appear to come from caffeine. Those who drank tea and other caffeinated drinks did not experience the same reduction in stroke risk, said Professor Martin Grond of the German Stroke Society. It seems the positive health effects of coffee-drinking come from antioxidants in the beverage which lower inflammation and improve blood vessel function.

So there you have it ladies.

Drink up on your favorite coffee blends at Zaccardis.com and do your bean a favor by preventing strokes.
