Study: Moderate coffee consumption (even decaf) may help maintain low blood pressure

Drinking two to three cups of coffee every day helped maintain low blood BP, according to the results of a study published in Nutrients.

 

The findings further showed that regular coffee drinkers had significantly lower BP, “both on peripheral and central levels, than those who do not drink it,” Arrigo F. G. Cicero, MD, PhD, an associate professor in the department of medical and surgical sciences with the University of Bologna in Italy, said in a press release.

...

The researchers wrote that there is a “lack of a difference in the impact of caffeinated and decaffeinated coffee” on outcomes, which “suggests that caffeine per se is not the main determinant of the effect of coffee on human health.”

...

"In particular, chlorogenic acid, which is the most concentrated polyphenol in coffee beans and for which the bioavailability is inversely proportional to the coffee bean roasting time, is thought to be one of the main compounds responsible for the potential BP-lowering effect of coffee [28]. Quercetin, even if characterized by low bioavailability, could also contribute to the positive vascular effect of coffee [29], also acting as a mild xanthine oxidase inhibitor. Moreover, it must be emphasized that coffee consumption is usually safe, even in individuals with high CV risk."

Interesting findings... Anyone have any background knowledge or experience on this topic?

If it worked I wouldn't have high blood pressure. Nothing seems to work.
