Norwegian researchers have identified which coffee preparation method may offer the most health benefits. The study, spanning from 1985 to 2003, suggests that drinking filtered or drip coffee is favorable for well being. The findings contribute to the growing discussion on how daily beverage choices affect heart health, as reported by Public News Service and supported by the research results.
In the investigation, scientists examined adults aged 20 to 79, comparing how different coffee types influenced physical activity levels, blood pressure, and cholesterol profiles. The assessment focused on habitual consumption patterns and the possible links between coffee preparation and cardiovascular indicators.
Published results appeared in the European Journal of Preventive Cardiology, indicating that moderate intake of drip coffee can support cardiovascular wellness. The most notable benefits emerged among participants who averaged about four cups of filter coffee per day, underscoring a potential threshold where benefits are most evident.
Conversely, the study classified unfiltered natural coffees as carrying greater health risks. This group includes espresso, French press, cappuccino, and Turkish coffee. Experts note that when these drinks are prepared with grounds remaining in hot water for extended periods, the exposure may be less favorable for health.
Unfiltered coffee is associated with higher levels of certain compounds that can raise cholesterol in some individuals. Data from the research indicate that drip coffee delivers substantially lower amounts of these substances, with estimates suggesting a marked reduction in exposure.
Earlier statistics from Russia highlighted strong market momentum in packaged coffee sales, with a notable rise in cups purchased during a recent month compared to the preceding period, reflecting broad consumer interest in coffee beverages across the country.
