Coffee is Good For You!

The cup of coffee you crave in the morning is good for your health. New studies show that caffeine can lead to all kinds of benefits. Drinking coffee reduces the risk of getting Parkinson’s disease, heart disease, Type 2 diabetes, gallstones, depression, cirrhosis, liver cancer, melanoma, and prostate cancer.

Studies show that drinking four or five eight-ounce cups of coffee a day lowers death rates. Compared to people who did not drink coffee, coffee drinkers were less likely to die early from all causes.

Now, about the calories. Cream and sweet syrups make coffee calorie-rich. An expert said that all the things people put into coffee could result in junk food. Sweeteners add as many as 500 to 600 calories per cup.

Decaffeinated coffee does not have the same benefits as caffeinated coffee. But, it may lower the risk of Type 2 diabetes and cancer.

So, there you have it. Coffee is a drink you can enjoy, and it may make you healthier.
