Uncover the health benefits of coffee

For too long now, a particular myth about coffee has spread about how bad it is for the health; how it affects you negatively in diverse ways. While some of these things are true (besides too much of everything is bad), let’s see the flipside and find out just how beneficial coffee can be.

1.It contains ingredients that lower blood sugar level, especially decaffeinated one thus it is not the caffeine that is the active ingredient causing this.

2.It can make you smarter. Well, of course, most of us take coffee to help our brain function get that extra kick you need to start your day. The coffee contains stimulates the brain by blocking inhibitory neurotransmitters.

3.If it can make you smarter then, you can also be sure that it will keep the brain healthy in the long run,  lowering your chances of having Alzheimer’s or Parkinson’s disease by 60 percent and 32-60 percent respectively.

4.It protects your liver against cancer and cirrhosis if you consume about four cups per day.

5.Caffeine, the most well-known ingredient in coffee is really great for you if you want to lose weight. As it stimulates the nervous system, it leads to increased metabolism and that spells weight loss. 

6.Coffee protects your body. Heavily-loaded with antioxidants, it fights against all roaming agents in your body that cause harm.

7.It boosts performance. Down a couple of cup of coffee just before a workout or some labour-intensive activity, and you will be surprised by how much energy is unleashed.

Coffee is, therefore, not really the bad guy we make him out to be. Yes, it can be addictive and it can also stain your teeth, amongst other things but the health benefits are out of this world!
