Just Simply Coffee

This post is for all the Coffee Lovers... We love our coffee! Don't we...?? That goes without saying, it tastes great, perks us up and makes everyone else bearable on a Monday morning...But its real benefits make us love it even more.... I have some interesting facts about coffee explaining why we should just simply continue drinking and loving our coffee...
Here they are :

a. It helps reduce headaches... As per research studies it has been proven that the caffeine content in coffee provides relief from headaches...

b. It prevents liver diseases... It seems like the more coffee people drink, the lower their incidence of cirrhosis and other liver diseases.

c. Coffee Reduces the risk of Diabetes, mainly more in Women. Coffee has some antioxidants (chlorogenic acid and quinides, specifically) which play a role in boosting the cells sensitivity to insulin, which helps regulate blood sugar..

d. It boosts your brain power... As per some studies it shows that coffee helps reduce risk of dementia and Alzheimer’s disease, as well as Parkinson’s disease. Coffee with the presence of antioxidants wards off brain cell damage and helps the neurotransmitters involved in cognitive function to work better.

e. It protects the heart... Moderate coffee drinkers have lower rates of stroke than non-coffee drinkers, an effect linked to coffee’s antioxidants. Coffee has more antioxidants per serving than blueberries, making it the biggest source of antioxidants in American diets. All those antioxidants may help suppress the damaging effect of inflammation on arteries. Immediately after drinking it, coffee raises your blood pressure and heart rate, but over the long term, it actually may lower blood pressure as coffee’s antioxidants activate nitric acid, widening blood vessels.

Thus, one should never give up on drinking coffee... In fact, I feel also the non-coffee drinkers should start having it now....
