There really is nothing better than the smell of coffee in the morning. If you are like me and love a good brew then there is actually great news. Coffee has a huge array of health benefits too. Recent studies have shown moderate coffee consumption may help with the following:
1. Longevity. Studies have shown that coffee drinkers are less likely to die from some of the leading causes of death.
2. Your body may process glucose better.
3. You are less likely to develop heart failure.
4. Coffee seems to have a protective effect on your liver.
5. DNA will be stronger. Dark roast coffee decreases breakage in DNA strands.
6. Your odds of colon cancer decrease.
7. You're not as likely to suffer a stroke.
8. You are less likely to develop Alzheimer's disease.
Of course like anything too much of a good thing is a bad thing so stick to a moderate intake of 1-3 cups per day. It is also important to note that the health benefits pertain to the coffee beans themselves and adding a lot of milk, sugar, syrups or flavourings can turn a healthy drink into an unhealthy one.
