Coffee has been around for thousands of years, but it hasn’t been until recently that we’ve discovered just how many incredible benefits it actually has. Are you a coffee drinker? Then check out these six amazing health benefits you may not have known coffee had.
Recent studies have found that drinking coffee helps protect us from a variety of different diseases, such as type II diabetes, Parkinson’s disease, liver disease, Alzheimer’s disease, dementia and various types of cancers. Drinking coffee has even been shown to improve heart health. That’s one amazing drink, if you ask us.
Not only does coffee make us happier; it also fights depression and reduces the risk of suicide. In one study by the National Institute of Health, participants who drank four or more cups of coffee per day were about 10% less likely to become depressed and have suicidal thoughts. And why does coffee make us so happy? We can thank the antioxidants for that!
Wait, what? Coffee can actually make you live longer? Yep! Of course, with the number of diseases it prevents it definitely helps. However, one study from the National Institute of Health even found that drinking coffee lowered the risk of death in men by 20% and in women by 26% over a period of 18-24 years.
