Regular coffee consumption in moderate amounts can be safe for the kidneys and may even lower the risk of certain diseases. Experts have named the optimal amount of the drink that does not harm the body for most people.
This is written by Kursor.
According to nutritionists, for most people a safe norm is about two to three standard cups of coffee per day, each with a volume of about 240 ml.
Research shows that moderate intake of this beverage not only does not harm people with chronic kidney disease, but may be associated with better health indicators.
One meta-analysis showed that people who drink two or more cups of coffee daily have about 14% lower risk of developing kidney diseases.
Such an effect is linked to substances contained in coffee. The drink contains more than a thousand natural compounds, including polyphenols, chlorogenic acids, and melanoidins. They have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties.
Coffee can also help reduce the risk of kidney stone formation. It increases urine output, so minerals are excreted from the body faster and have less chance to form crystals.
However, specialists advise taking into account blood pressure status. Caffeine can temporarily raise blood pressure, and prolonged hypertension can negatively affect kidney function.
People diagnosed with hypertension should be more cautious about caffeine in their diet and take into account their body's own reaction.
To get the benefits of coffee without extra risks, nutritionists advise not to overdo it with sugar and sweet syrups. Black coffee itself has most of the beneficial properties, while a large number of additives can negate the positive effect.
It is also not advisable to frequently add heavy cream, as an excess of saturated fats can increase the risks of cardiovascular problems, which also affect kidney health.
Separately, specialists pay attention to potassium. One cup of coffee contains about 100 mg of this substance, which usually is not a problem for most people. However, with a large amount of beverage, its level accumulates, so people with certain kidney function disorders should consider this factor.
