If I have one vice in my otherwise healthy lifestyle, it's my large cup of great coffee, everyday. Not one for wanting to own "vices," I am curious as to why coffee, in moderation, is considered to be one.
This was highlighted the other day while having breakfast with a friend. She told me how "lucky" I am to be able to have my coffee every day. She said she couldn't drink coffee anymore due to high blood pressure. Her doctor advised her that this could contribute to her high blood pressure.
I wondered to myself what advice the doctor gave to my friend about food intake, alcohol intake and smoking. All three of these things my friend does tend to partake in to excess.
Did the doctor actually state that more than anything, my friend's overindulgence in food, smoking and sometimes alcohol largely caused her hypertension but she only heard "coffee?" Hard to know but I was curious, why did the doctor even list coffee as a contributor?
To date, there is no definitive evidence that coffee leads to the development of high blood pressure.
Some studies have shown that drinking coffee does raise one's blood pressure slightly, but only temporarily. In fact, these same studies have shown that over time, this slight increase in blood pressure is reduced.
These studies also show that this increase in blood pressure goes away over time.
Researchers are starting to notice that the reason coffee is so often associated with the actual contributors to hypertension (cigarettes, and obesity) is because many people tend to combine drinking coffee with these bad behaviors.
No. Rather, the studies have shown that people associate the negative lifestyle (cigarettes, over-eating) with drinking coffee. My same friend has foregone her cigarette break if she doesn't have coffee, indicating that the cigarette, "Just doesn't taste the same."
So why do we read so many stories of people who gave up drinking coffee and suddenly, there was a marked decrease in blood pressure. These stories tend to focus on what coffee was doing to their high blood pressure, not the real culprits like cigarettes and obesity.
What I can say is that if you know that coffee is your trigger to indulging in other, proven contributors to high blood pressure and you truly can't do one without the other, then yes, perhaps you should consider switching to a beverage that you don't associate with these bad behaviors.
Regardless of the reason for high blood pressure, my High Blood Pressure Program does provide amazing results. The exercises in the program are easy but effective. So effective, in fact, that people who have suffered from high blood pressure for years have lowered their blood pressure with this completely natural remedy.
If weight loss is your concern as well, I recommend my Weight Loss Breeze Program.
