Is Coffee Good For Health







Are you worried that you take 3 cups of coffee daily ? Don’t be. As researchers, recently found that Coffee is beneficial for health as it reduces the risk of diabetes, heart disease, Parkinson’s disease, cirrhosis of the liver and even Alzheimer’s.

Many people do not realize that coffee is the largest source of antioxidants in their diet,” said Dr. Donald Hensrud, chair of preventive, occupational and aerospace medicine at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota.

Antioxidants actually helps to protect cells against free radicals. Free radicals are created when your body break down food, by environmental exposures, smoke and radiation. Free radicals increase the chance of heart disease, cancer and other diseases.

Numerous studies have been conducted on coffee and each time it has some new revelation. A study was conducted in May 2011, Iowa Women’s Health Study on 27000 women from age group of 55 to 69. In that study, researchers from the University of Minnesota found that women who drink one to three cup of coffee reduces the chance of heart disease by 24 percent compared to those who abstain from drinking coffee.

So the next time you take a doze, it should be with a smiling face .

  1. I knew that coffee can't be harmful. But I have continuously been told by my friends and family members that you should not drink coffee because it was bad for health. Now I can rest assured that it is not.
