JAKARTA, DISWAY.ID – Making coffee a part of your daily consumption every day can be beneficial for the health of the human body.
Launching from the page NYPosta new study published in the journal BMJ Medicine suggests that drinking coffee regularly can reduce body fat and lower the risk of developing type 2 diabetes.
Researchers wanted to see if coffee drinkers were safe from type 2 diabetes because of their caffeine intake or for other reasons, such as being middle class and being able to live a healthier lifestyle.

This study looked at nearly 10,000 people with genetic traits — such as the CYP1A2 and AHR genes — that affect how the body handles caffeine intake using a statistical technique called Mendelian randomization, which is a tool that investigates relationships between traits and outcomes. .
People with this genetic variant are associated with slower processing and metabolism of caffeine and usually drink less coffee but have higher levels of caffeine in their blood.
The same group of people was found to have lower body mass index, body fat mass, and risk of type 2 diabetes, which clearly points to caffeine as the reason.
About half of the same group of people have a lower risk of type 2 diabetes because they have a lower BMI.

Some evidence suggests that caffeine allows the body to burn more fat and/or makes people feel fuller causing them to eat less, and being thinner reduces the risk of developing type 2 diabetes.
About 1 in 10 Americans has diabetes, and about 90% to 95% of them have type 2 diabetes, according to the CDC. Type 2 diabetes most often affects people over the age of 45.
“These results suggest that caffeine may be associated with lower body mass index, lower body fat, and a reduced likelihood of developing type 2 diabetes,” Dr. Dipender Gill, senior author of the study from Imperial College London, said. “It can boost people’s metabolism, although this doesn’t mean people should go out and drink lots of high-calorie caffeinated drinks like chai lattes.”
The average cup of coffee contains about 70 to 150 milligrams of caffeine, and evidence suggests that 100 milligrams per day can increase energy expenditure by about 100 calories per day. But coffee also has other chemicals like diterpenes that can wreak havoc on a person’s metabolism.
