There are all sorts of wonder health benefits from drinking coffee, especially healthy organic coffee. Now there is another benefit. It appears that you get less ringing in your ears with coffee consumption. This info comes from a prospective study derived from the Nurses’ Health Study II. Nurses’ Health Study II

was established by Dr. Walter Willett and colleagues in 1989 with funding from the National Institutes of Health. The primary motivation for developing the Nurses’ Health Study II was to study oral contraceptives, diet and lifestyle risk factors in a population younger than the original Nurses’ Health Study cohort.

Over the years a wealth of useful information has come from follow-ups on this group.

Less Ringing in Your Ears with Coffee

According to info published by the researchers in Nurses’ Health Study II, caffeine was originally thought to cause tinnitus, also called ringing in the ears. In order to test this hypothesis the researchers looked at the reports from 65,085 women aged 30 to 44 in the study group as of 1991. Information regarding ringing in the ears, tinnitus, was obtained from 2009 reports. Eighteen years after the initial baseline info was obtained more than 5000 women reported some degree of ringing in the ears. Interestingly the relationship to drinking coffee was opposite what common wisdom had predicted. Women who reported drinking two and three cups of coffee day had a significantly lower incidence of this condition that women who drank a cup of coffee a day or less. The conclusion of the report was that women who drink coffee have a lower incidence of ringing in the ears that those who do not. The study did not include men and did not address organic versus regular coffee.

One More Good Reason to Drink Coffee

This is just one more good reason to drink coffee. We have reported on these pages how coffee reduces the risk of type II diabetes, prostate cancer, endometrial cancer and colon cancer. Scientific evidence indicates that drinking coffee reduces your risk getting Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, depression or cirrhosis of the liver. We even noted that coffee may make sex better!

Does coffee make sex better? Interestingly scientific research shows that coffee can lead to sexual arousal in females. Studies of sixtyish men and women show that coffee drinking women have sex more frequently and coffee drinking men have higher potency. A common sense finding is that coffee gives you a physical and mental boost that can carry over into more energy when making love. We posed the question last week, does coffee improve athletic performance. It turns that coffee does help. So, if your sex is of the athletic variety so much the better! And, better health is commonly synonymous with better sex. Both regular and healthy organic coffees have lots of health benefits.

So, drink up and enjoy both taste and aroma of the brew and the fact that coffee can help you in lots of ways.
