It's no surprise to my friends and family that I pride myself on living a healthy lifestyle. This is why, I suppose only half-joking, that they refer to my daily Grande coffee from Starbucks as my "vice."
A good friend recently stated that her doctor had told her she had to quit drinking coffee due to her hypertention (high blood pressure).
I wondered to myself what advice the doctor gave to my friend about food intake, alcohol intake and smoking. All three of these things my friend does tend to partake in to excess.
Quite likely, my friend's doctor stressed to her that her weight and smoking habits were contributing to her high blood pressure. Why then did he mention coffee?
To date, there is no definitive evidence that coffee leads to the development of high blood pressure.
What has been documented is that coffee can increase blood pressure, although, only slightly AND only temporarily.
What some studies have shown is that coffee can temporarily raise blood pressure but that is all. In fact, studies have also shown that over time, this temporary increase in blood pressure is reduced.
Researchers are starting to notice that the reason coffee is so often associated with the actual contributors to hypertension (cigarettes, and obesity) is because many people tend to combine drinking coffee with these bad behaviors.
The arguement that drinking coffee causes high blood pressure, based upon the above partnering of behaviors, is just plain false.
While I'm always excited to read about amazing results from people who've given up coffee and reduced their blood pressure, I'm even more interested in knowing what other bad behaviors where dropped when these people gave up coffee.
What I can say is that if you know that coffee is your trigger to indulging in other, proven contributors to high blood pressure and you truly can't do one without the other, then yes, perhaps you should consider switching to a beverage that you don't associate with these bad behaviors.
If you are suffering from hypertension, I'd like to recommend my High Blood Pressure Program. This is a completely natural remedy and while simple, it has proven, amazing results.
If weight loss is your concern as well, I recommend my Weight Loss Breeze Program.
