The Long List of Coffee Health Benefits

Coffee has recently been proven to have a number of health benefits, and that list seems to be getting longer...

Cancer: Coffee has not been proven to cause cancer, and it even reduces the risk of mouth, throat, and colon cancer.
Heart Disease: Coffee does not raise the risk for heart disease, and it even offers preventative protection.
Diabetes: Coffee lowers the risk of developing type II diabetes.
Alzheimer's: Coffee strengthens the blood-brain barrier, which often becomes damaged and leads to Alzheimer's.
Osteoporosis: Excessive caffeine intake can lower bone density, which should not have an effect in moderate coffee drinking. Adding milk to your coffee on a regular basis can offer you the calcium you need to reduce the risk of osteoporosis.
Depression: Coffee can elevate energy levels and reduce depression.

New Coffee Health Studies


Coffee is full of a number of health benefits, but the most recent study was published in the Hepatology Journal in January of 2010. The results from this study regarding coffee showed that the participants that increased their caffeine consumption had reduced signs of hepatic fibrosis. The participants within the study drank around 2 cups of coffee per day, and their symptoms were severely lessened.

In a related study done in 2007, it showed that regularly drinking coffee lowered levels of uric acid in the body, which often causes osteoarthritis and gout.

Last of all, keep in mind that habitually drinking coffee reduces the risk of diabetes. For every additional cup of coffee that you drink, your risk of diabetes is reduced by 7% because it works to regulate the metabolism and blood sugar within the body. I'll drink to that!

Can Diabetics Drink Coffee?

If you are diabetic and wanting to still enjoy your cup of Joe, then you can drink it in moderation! It is recommended to drink around 3 cups of coffee per day, and regular coffee drinkers also have been proven to have a third less risk of developing diabetes later on in life.

Coffee is full of antioxidants, which will protect the body from free radical damage. Coffee contains more antioxidants than chocolate, tea, or red wine, and it is also a wonderful source because we drink so darn much of it! If you are diabetic, you can drink coffee on a daily basis to offer you the potential to control your blood sugar. Coffee also has been proven to provide a number of benefits in preventing other diseases for a longer life.

Keep in mind that all of these studies were done on caffeinated coffee drinkers and not the decaf variety!

Coffee Has Serious Health Benefits!

Over the years, coffee has had a bad reputation from some poor studies done on the effects of drinking Java regularly. That is no longer the case!

There was a Harvard study done on 126,000 people over 18 years that did show that drinking up to 3 cups of coffee per day significantly reduced the risk of diabetes. Interestingly enough, the more coffee that was consumed within the study, the more the risk of diabetes was reduced. When the participants drank six or more cups of coffee each day, that did reduce their risk of diabetes at up to 54% for men and 30% for women.

Of course, all of this does need to be taken into account with a healthy lifestyle and diet, but it is wonderful to know that regular coffee drinking can be a part of disease prevention and overall wellness benefits, including reduced risk for diabetes!

How Does Coffee Protect Your Health?

This is a fantastic question that every coffee drinker needs to have answered because it is so wonderful to discover that your morning beverage is doing more than just waking you up to start the day! The list is as follows:

  • Coffee directly lowers the risk for liver cancer, and it slightly lessens the risk of colon cancer.
  • Coffee also has the capability to reduce the risk of type II diabetes, whether you are drinking decaf or regular. Your risk can be reduced by up to 50% because coffee contains chlorogenic acid, and this ingredient slows the intake of glucose into the intestines. This is especially important for anyone at risk of diabetes.
  • Coffee is going to protect your heart and slightly reduce the risk of stroke by up to 19% when you are drinking 2 to 3 cups per day.
  • Coffee also does shield the liver from cirrhosis damage, especially when it is triggered from alcoholism.
  • Coffee does prevent the onset of Parkinson's disease because of the caffeine content. It dramatically lowers the risk in men, and also in women who aren't taking post-menopausal hormone supplements.

Isn't this wonderful? The list of coffee and health benefits is getting longer and longer, making it even more enticing to drink to your health!
