WHAT’S IN YOUR COFFEE?

Can it prevent Type 2 Diabetes? Cancer? Parkinson’s Disease?

Is your day never complete without your morning coffee? If yes, here are many reasons why you would want to drink more. Many research studies find astounding health benefits of this famous beverage, from physical to mental health.

In a study published in The Journal of American Medical Association, it is found that consumption of coffee reduces the risk of developing Type 2 diabetes (van Dam and Hu, 2005). This is attributed to the high antioxidant capacity of coffee which helps regulate glucose level and insulin sensitivity. Coffee has phenol chlorogenic acid that inhibits “glucose absorption in the intestine”. This claim is supported by an article from The Institute of Food technologists which enumerates a few benefits of coffee. The article states that regular consumption of coffee reduces the risks of Type 2 diabetes by 35-75 percent (Clemens and Coughlin, 2007). The polyphenolic antioxidants, lignans and magnesium found in coffee serve as protection against the disease.

Prevent cancer with a cup of coffee

Another study supports the hypothesis that coffee reduces the risk of certain cancers. Risk of breast cancer in particular may be reduced with coffee consumption.

Moderate coffee consumption is safe

Many research found amazing benefits of coffee. Risk reduction of certain diseases is proven by studies. Some are convinced while some think that drinking coffee poses higher risk especially of cardiovascular disease. However, Harvard Women’s Health Watch says that if coffee consumption is kept in moderation, we can get the best results out of it.
