Caffeine Linked to Improved Vascular Health in Lupus Patients

A new study suggests that moderate caffeine consumption may enhance blood vessel function in individuals with autoimmune diseases.

Researchers from Sapienza University of Rome found a positive correlation between caffeine intake and the health of endothelial progenitor cells in lupus patients.
The study involved 31 lupus patients and showed that those who consumed caffeine had improved vascular health.
Caffeine appears to promote the growth and organization of cells that repair blood vessels, potentially reducing cardiovascular risks.
The study highlights caffeine's anti-inflammatory properties, which may benefit patients with inflammatory rheumatic diseases like lupus.
Further research is needed to confirm these findings and determine optimal caffeine dosages for therapeutic use.
