Many people start their day right by drinking a cup of coffee, which provides energy and keeps them active throughout the day. Coffee has also been proven to reduce diabetes risk as well as heart disease risk, cancer risk and depression risk. A recent study suggests that filter coffee is the healthiest way to consume coffee, with minimal amounts of sugar and cream added, as well as being consumed via filter brewing methods. Filtration removes cholesterol-raising compounds found in raw coffee beans whereas unfiltered options (espresso and boiled coffee included) contain 30x more diterpenes than their filtered counterparts.

Recently, researchers published in the European Journal of Preventive Cardiology conducted a comparison between coffee drinkers who consume both filtered and unfiltered coffee and found those whose beverages passed through filters had lower rates of heart disease death – likely because filter helps catch any fatty acids or compounds in coffee that raise cholesterol, thus explaining why those drinking filtered coffee were at lower risk than unfiltered group.

Research conducted previously has linked coffee consumption with reduced mortality and lower rates of type 2 diabetes and coronary heart disease, reduced liver diseases like cirrhosis and fatty liver, as well as antioxidant protection from chronic illnesses. Unfortunately, however, the exact mechanisms through which coffee and tea provide these health benefits remain unknown.

Coffee’s beneficial properties may come from its content of methylxanthine and chlorogenic acid, both of which act as anti-inflammatory and antioxidant compounds. Caffeine also provides another potential advantage, helping the metabolism burn fat more easily while providing energy boost for physical activities – South Indian filter coffee is packed full of caffeine; when consumed without too much milk or sugar, it makes for an ideal choice for fitness enthusiasts.

Coffee’s polyphenols may help protect against various forms of cancer and mental illness, while its soluble fiber may reduce blood pressure and help prevent diabetes. Recent research also suggests that your choice of brewing method plays a significant role in how healthy or unhealthy it is; different brews have been linked with different risks; therefore it is crucial that you find what best coffee suits your diet in order to maintain good health.
