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."
This was highlighted the other day while having breakfast with a friend. She told me how "lucky" I am to be able to have my coffee every day. She said she couldn't drink coffee anymore due to high blood pressure. Her doctor advised her that this could contribute to her 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?
As of this post, there have been no studies to support evidence that there is a link between drinking coffee and hypertention.
Some studies have shown that drinking coffee does raise one's blood pressure slightly, but only temporarily. In fact, these same studies have shown that over time, this slight increase in blood pressure is reduced.
These same studies also admit that when drinking coffee on a regular basis, this temporary increase in blood pressure disappates.
So why even mention coffee and hypertension? What studies have shown is that coffee can often times partner certain unhealthy behaviors - smoking and over eating.
Does this mean that coffee causes hypertention? No - it is not coffee's fault that some people cannot drink a cup of coffee without partnering it with cigarettes and/or over eating.
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.
Based on evidence, I do not believe that drinking a cup of coffee, even every day will cause high blood pressure. If I believed that, I wouldn't drink it myself.
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 you suffer from being overweight as well, I would suggest my Weight Loss Breeze Program.
