Can Coffee Reduce the Risk for Stroke?

A recent study has shown that regular coffee drinking provides great benefits in reducing the risk for stroke in women who are non-smokers.

For the women who were smokers, drinking the same amount of coffee only offered them a 3% reduction in their risk for stroke.

This study was done over 24 years on more than 80,000 women, who were all considered to be in good health. These same benefits may not be seen for women who have a number of other health issues, including high cholesterol, diabetes, or high blood pressure.

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!
