Who take much caffeinated drinks, exhibit a low blood pressure. This newly discovered link applies only for non-smokers, according to a study supported by the Swiss National Science Foundation (SNSF). People with a rather low blood pressure have a lower risk for a heart or stroke.
Similar to jogging
Although coffee for it is known that he increased blood pressure in the short term, it affects just the other way around in the long run. "This is similar to jogging." "Even if blood pressure rises during running, regular sports protects against heart cardiovascular damage", says Idris Guessouos, the first author of the study.
Guessouos team compared the blood pressure and the genetic equipment of over 16,000 people with the amount of coffee potency. Who has inherited a more efficient variant of the gene "CYP1A2" consumed tends to be more coffee, and showed that on average a lower blood pressure as comparators. Simplified terms, it is largely genetically determined how caffeinated drinks to take much to themselves, so the researchers.
The link "more coffee" and "low blood pressure" applies only to non-smokers. Cigarette smoking accelerates the caffeine extraction and "veiled" the protective effect of coffee. (SK)
