3. Coffee Drinkers Have a Lower Risk of Heart Disease 2q4s9
As previously said, coffee has several antioxidants that fight inflammation, which can cause artery damage. A 15-year study in the Netherlands with over 35,000 participants revealed that consuming a safe, moderate amount of coffee on a regular basis reduced the risk of heart disease by up to 25% compared to non-coffee s. In addition, regular coffee drinkers were 20% less likely to experience irregular heart palpitations.
4. Drinking Coffee Can Ward Off Diabetes 57545s
Over a dozen studies have been published confirming the efficacy of coffee in preventing type 2 diabetes. Participants who consumed 4-5 cups of coffee per day were about 45 percent less likely to have or develop diabetes.
These findings were consistent regardless of demographic factors such as gender, weight, and height. Even more interesting, the studies indicate that it is coffee, not caffeine, that protects against diabetes. Decaffeinated coffee was as effective in preventing diabetes.
5. Coffee Improves Your Mood and Lowers Stress c2r33
Numerous independent research has shown that drinking coffee on a daily basis reduces the risk of depression in both men and women. Caffeine causes the release of serotonin and dopamine, two neurotransmitters that influence our mood.
This is where I believe moderation is essential. Limiting myself to two to three cups seemed ideal for a mood lift without any major crash. In addition to being an antidepressant, coffee consumers are less likely to commit suicide.
6. Keeps the Brain Healthy 6r3z5r
Along with boosting and sustaining memory and focus, drinking coffee on a daily basis can help with overall brain health. Caffeine use has been linked to a lower risk of mental diseases in recent studies. Degenerative disorders like dementia, Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, and even stroke risk are lowered. I cannot emphasize enough the need of limiting caffeine consumption to 300gm per day, or roughly three cups of coffee.
