In India, everyone's day starts with morning tea or coffee. There is no dearth of tea and coffee lovers here. If you are drinking home-made tea or coffee in limited quantity, then it can be beneficial for your health. On the other hand, drinking tea made in an unhealthy way can cause many problems. However, in today's hectic life, people do not have time. They have to reach office on time. Hence, they reach office and drink machine-made tea or coffee. Let us tell you that drinking machine coffee can have a bad effect on your health. A research has also been done on this. A new study has revealed that coffee made from the office coffee machine is seriously damaging your health. This study has been published in a journal named Nutrition, Metabolism and Cardiovascular Diseases.
Bad cholesterol may increase
This study states that drinking machine-made coffee can increase LDL i.e. 'Bad Cholesterol' in the body. This can also cause many other diseases. Researchers surveyed 14 coffee machines in four offices in Sweden. Research found that machine-made coffee contains compounds like cafestol and kahweol. These can increase LDL cholesterol.
Harmful for heart health
Research has found that these compounds become more effective when the coffee is not filtered properly. This is the reason why machine-made coffee drunk in the office can prove to be dangerous for your heart health. This can also increase the risk of heart attack.
Three types of coffee machines are mentioned in the study
Researchers have mentioned three types of coffee machines in the study. The first is a brewing machine with a metal filter, the second is coffee made from liquid-concentrate and hot water, and the second is an instant machine that uses freeze-dried coffee. Among these, the highest risk was found in coffee made from machines that do not use filters. Researchers say that if people start drinking paper-filter coffee instead of just three cups of machine coffee a week, then the level of LDL cholesterol can be reduced significantly. Through this study, researchers have warned those people who work in the office drinking coffee all day long.
Choose healthy options
It causes more harm to those people whose physical activity is very less. So if you are cautious about your heart health, then try to drink as little machine-made coffee as possible in the office. Instead, bring paper filter coffee from home or choose a healthy option.
