The study found the gene helped form an cravings of your subconscious coffee

Do you often drink coffee, or do you tend to just switch to popular drinks sometimes? Maybe you make a switch from decaf coffee regularly at some point and you are still not sure why you make changes. According to a new study from the University of South Australia, genes you can play a big role in forming this coffee habit based on your cardio health.

This study involved more than 390,000 people, found that one’s genes played a big role in their coffee – and, with proxy, caffeine – consumption habits. This process helps protect someone from consuming too much caffeine, ultimately protecting them from potential consequences that can come with excessive stimulant exposure.

According to research, people who suffer from certain risky conditions, including the cardiac arrhythmias, high blood pressure, and angina, are more likely to consume decaf coffee, drink less than that, or completely avoid it compared to people who do not have it cardiovascular risk.

Data was withdrawn from England Biobank, giving researchers insight into the potential relationship between heart health, genes, and self-regulated coffee habits. The findings show that it is reversed, one’s coffee habit can provide insight into their cardiovascular health, indicating that there is a possibility that someone can be withdrawn towards coffee coffee, for example.

Professor Elina Hypönen, research researcher research, explained:

People drink coffee for all kinds of reasons – as pick me up when they feel tired, because it feels good, or just because it’s part of their daily routine. But what we do not recognize is that people unconsciously regulate their own safe caffeine levels based on how high their blood pressure is, and this is probably the result of the protective genetic mechanism.

What this means is that someone who drinks a lot of coffee is likely tolerant of caffeine, compared to someone who drinks very little. Conversely, non-coffee drinkers, or someone who drink coffee without caffeine, is more likely to be susceptible to caffeine side effects, and more susceptible to high blood pressure.
