Health Benefits of Coffee


Researches indicates that coffee provides protective effects for the following conditions:



Asthma

Drinking coffee can help to control asthma and in some cases can also be used to treat an asthma attack when conventional medication is not available.

Colon Cancer

Two or more cups of coffee per day can reduce the risk of colon cancer by 25%

Gallstones

The likelihood of developing gallstones is decreased nearly 50% by drinking at least two cups of coffee per day.

Headache

Coffee cures or diminishes some types of headaches.

Live Cirrhosis

The risk for this condition is reduced by 80% with the ingestion of two or more cups of coffee each day

Parkinson’s Disease

Six studies have found that regular (caffeinated) coffee drinkers reduced their risk of developing Parkinson’s disease by as much as 80%.

Tooth Decay

A compound in coffee called Trigonelline has adhesive and antibacterial properties, which helps prevent cavities.

Diabetes (Type 2)

A Harvard longitudinal study of 126,000 people found that one to three cups of caffeinated coffee per day can reduce the risk of developing diabetes by less than 10%, while six or more cups per day reduces women’s risk by 30% and men’s by 54%. Drinking decaffeinated coffee reduces the risk of diabetes by approximately half that achieved  with caffeinated coffee.
