Novo estudo revela benefícios do café para o microbioma e o humor

Um estudo recente descobriu benefícios adicionais do café para a saúde, incluindo seus efeitos sobre o microbioma, a inflamação e o humor. A pesquisa mostra que o consumo regular influencia o eixo intestino-cérebro, sendo que até mesmo a versão descafeinada oferece vantagens. Essas descobertas destacam interações que vão além das propriedades estimulantes da cafeína.

Pesquisadores identificaram novos mecanismos pelos quais o café promove a saúde. O estudo demonstra como o consumo regular de café modifica o microbioma, reduz a inflamação e influencia positivamente o humor. Isso ocorre por meio do eixo intestino-cérebro, uma rede de comunicação bidirecional que liga o sistema digestivo à atividade cerebral, revelando uma interação complexa que se estende além dos conhecidos efeitos estimulantes da cafeína. Até mesmo o café descafeinado proporciona essas vantagens, de acordo com as descobertas publicadas antes da data de hoje.

Researchers at Nagoya University report that two common gut microbes can work together to break down the colon’s protective mucus layer, leaving stool dry and difficult to pass—an effect that standard laxatives may not address. The team also found higher levels of these bacteria in people with Parkinson’s disease, who often experience constipation decades before motor symptoms, and showed in mice that disabling a key bacterial enzyme prevented constipation.

Both caffeinated and decaffeinated coffee can boost mood and mental performance by influencing gut microbes. Researchers found that polyphenols in coffee drive many of these benefits. The findings come from a controlled trial involving 62 healthy adults.

Researchers at Edith Cowan University have discovered that varying training intensities can alter the gut bacteria composition in athletes. The study highlights how intense workouts influence microbial balance, while periods of rest lead to dietary shifts and slower digestion. These findings suggest potential links between gut health and athletic performance.

Gut bacteria that recycle oestrogens back into the bloodstream are far more abundant in people from industrialised societies than in hunter-gatherers and rural farmers, according to a new study. Researchers found up to seven times greater recycling capacity in urban populations. The findings raise questions about potential health impacts from elevated hormone levels.

Polyphenols, natural plant compounds acting as antioxidants, help reduce inflammation and support health, according to experts cited in a Vogue article. Registered dietitians recommend incorporating berries, dark chocolate, coffee, artichokes, apples, nuts, seeds, and herbs. These foods provide varying amounts of polyphenols, with benefits linked to disease prevention.
