A Cup of Coffee in a Day Save from Heart Disease

Researchers at the University of Athens have carried out the study and found that drinking a cup of coffee everyday improves elasticity of the arteries, which can stave off heart disease.

Their arteries were more elastic than those measured in people who drank little or no coffee. 

Around one in 10 who drank three or more cups a day had the least elasticity. 

 

Ingredients such as caffeine and antioxidants may partly improve arterial function by increasing the ability to take up nitric oxide, which is impaired in hypertensive patients.
