Coffee is a favorite drink for most adults across the planet. Experts who have studied the composition of coffee, and coffee beans in particular, have proven the presence of over 500 different substances and compounds. Caffeine has the most pronounced effect, affecting each individual differently. For example, coffee may cause vasoconstriction in one person, while it may dilate blood vessels in another.
The properties of coffee are not limited to caffeine alone. Coffee beans contain a powerful alkaloid, theobromine, which has a pronounced effect on vascular walls.
Which blood vessels can coffee dilate?
Coffee can dilate the blood vessels that supply the heart, kidneys, and skeletal muscles. Caffeine relaxes the blood vessel walls. This increases blood flow, leading to better oxygenation of the heart. This improves performance, concentration, and cognitive function. Some active athletes know about coffee's ability to dilate blood vessels in the heart, so they drink coffee before intense workouts.
But there's also a negative side effect worth mentioning. Caffeine, when consumed, activates the production of adrenaline, which enters the bloodstream. Adrenaline, in turn, causes tension in the vascular walls, leading to constriction of the arteries and, consequently, increased blood pressure. If the amount of caffeine in coffee is within the normal range, and the number of cups consumed per day is strictly controlled, there will be no problems with health or vascular function in particular. All indicators will be within normal limits. The pulsation in the vascular walls caused by coffee not only strengthens them but also maintains their tone.
However, it is important to strictly adhere to the recommendations to avoid harming your body. For example, drinking more than 5-7 cups of strong espresso consumes approximately 600 mg of caffeine. This heavy load on the blood vessels will eventually lead to their failure. Heavy coffee drinkers should strictly monitor their consumption – no more than 400 mg per day, or 2-3 cups of espresso per day. Very important! Trying to train your blood vessels with coffee can be dangerous, especially for those whose blood vessels are already weakened or damaged by atherosclerosis. If you have cardiovascular health issues, consult your doctor about adjusting your coffee intake. For example, brewed coffee produces a substance called cafestol, which has a weak but effective effect on promoting the deposition of cholesterol plaques in the bloodstream.
Another important point: Coffee contains a powerful antioxidant, chlorogenic acid. It has a positive effect on vascular walls. However, if chlorogenic acid is consumed in large quantities, it can cause blood clots. Therefore, to avoid the risk of developing dangerous changes, people with varicose veins or diagnosed thrombophlebitis should avoid drinking large amounts of coffee.
What effect does coffee have on the renal vessels?
Coffee has a pronounced diuretic effect. Caffeine dilates the blood vessels in the kidneys, increasing urine production. This not only results in increased fluid excretion, but also calcium leaching. Drinking more than 3-4 cups of strong coffee per day, not maintaining a proper drinking regimen, and not eating a properly balanced diet can lead to dental and bone problems.
Caffeine's effect on the kidneys is short-lived. After just 30-60 minutes, caffeine stops dilating the blood vessels. The lumen narrows due to theobromine. In some cases, this process may be accompanied by mild kidney discomfort.
Instant coffee contains more theobromine than caffeine. This leads to a constant narrowing of the renal blood vessels, which in turn increases the burden on the organs. If you have kidney disease, drinking coffee, especially instant coffee, is highly discouraged.
