Coffee is a part of the morning routine for most people. Undeniably the strong roasted aroma of a perfectly brewed filter coffee can really wake up your mind, body, and soul from sleep inertia. Although coffee is associated with several side effects, drinking filter coffee is way better than drinking no coffee at all. According to a study, preparing your morning cup of Joe using a filter-based can not only give you a fine taste but potentially reduce the risk of heart problems by lowering your bad cholesterol level. This can save you from an early death.
As previous studies confirmed that coffee can be one of the reasons for increasing ‘bad’ cholesterol levels leading to heart complications and early death. Challenging the old findings, a new study published in the European Journal of Preventive Cardiology has found that the substance in coffee which can cause early death can be removed simply by using a filter.
The study included more than 500,000 healthy mixed-gender people aged between 20-79 whose amount and type of coffee were recorded for an average of 20 years for consideration. It revealed that a cup of filter coffee can contain around a 30 times lower concentration of oily components of fatty lipids that can be harmful to the health. The method of coffee brewing plays an important role in determining risks due to coffee consumption.
‘If you are concerned about high cholesterol, we recommend switching to filter coffee. For everyone else, drink your coffee with a clear conscience,’said published author and epidemiologist Dag Thelle from the University of Gothenburg in Sweden.
