A new study has just revealed that coffee is indeed heart healthy. The study has showed that a cup of coffee a day can help with the prevention of irregular heartbeats. The final conclusion of the study showed that if a person drank four or more cups a coffee a day that they can could decrease their chances of irregular heartbeats by nearly 20 percent.The study has said that while coffee has not been proven as a preventive measure for arrythmia, the medical term for irregular heartbeat, there is no concrete evidence to show that caffeine is a catalyst for irregular heartbeat. The study was conducted by the Kaiser Permanente Division of Research in Oakland, California. The study has drawn some criticism due to the fact that it had been always said that previous studies showed coffee triggered some kind of heart papiltation and that the main ingredient of caffeine was main cause.
The study was unveiled on Friday, March 5, 2010, at the American Heart Association’s 50th Annual Conference on Cardiovascular Disease, Epidiomology, and Prevention in San Francisco, California. The study involved 130,054 men and women. The study also showed that people in the study who drank one to three cups a day showed a nearly 10 percent reduced risk.
