Hidden Health Benefits of Coffee
Age Healthier and Live Longer
A recent study on the caffeine consumption habits of more than 40,000 women showed that regular cups of coffee could help you live longer. Through beneficial effects on the biological processes of aging, moderate intake can enhance longevity.
Support Cognitive Health
Data has also shown that two or three cups of unsweetened coffee per day slows cognitive decline, which may reduce the risk of dementia, Alzheimer’s disease, and Parkinson’s disease.
Decrease Cardiovascular Risks
Daily coffee could keep your heart beating longer and stronger. Regular consumers showed a 19% lower risk of heart failure.
Reduced Risk of Type 2 Diabetes
Why not have another cup? Research has shown that each additional cup of coffee decreases the risk of developing Type 2 diabetes by 7%, compared to those who don’t drink coffee.
Boost Your Mood
By releasing neurotransmitters like dopamine and serotonin, caffeine won’t just keep you going – it can improve your mood. You might feel even better when you share that cup with a friend.
