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 found it interesting that the doctor would have told her to give up coffee rather than three other behaviors which to me, seemed to be of higher concern than drinking coffee: Over-eating, smoking cigarettes and alcohol consumption.
Did the doctor actually state that more than anything, my friend's overindulgence in food, smoking and sometimes alcohol largely caused her hypertension but she only heard "coffee?" Hard to know but I was curious, why did the doctor even list coffee as a contributor?
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.
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.
No. Rather, the studies have shown that people associate the negative lifestyle (cigarettes, over-eating) with drinking coffee. My same friend has foregone her cigarette break if she doesn't have coffee, indicating that the cigarette, "Just doesn't taste the same."
This combination of behaviors is where I'd like to see more research. I've read incredible stories about people who switched from coffee to green tea and see all sorts of positive changes, including lowered blood pressure. What wasn't expounded upon was whether or not they gave up their cigarettes and pastries as a result.
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.
