5 Coffee Health Benefits

Many adults reach for a cup of coffee early in the morning without giving much thought to it. Did you know that drinking the right amount of coffee can actually be good for you? For most (non-pregnant) women, a healthy amount of coffee is 3-5 cups. For men, it is about 3-6 cups. This varies from person to person. If you start to feel jittery, then you likely drank too much. All of the health benefits below are related to caffeinated black coffee. Of course, you can still get some benefits from drinking non-caffeinated and flavored coffee.

Increases Energy

Pretty much everyone knows that coffee can help to boost your energy levels, so we’ll start with this health benefit. The caffeine in coffee helps to provide a sugar-free boost. Drinking a cup of coffee every few hours can help to keep your mind awake, without making you feel jittery.

Reduce Chances of Type 2 Diabetes

According to a 2014 Harvard study, drinking at least a cup of coffee a day can lower the risk of a person getting type 2 diabetes. This is because coffee contains natural antioxidants that can help to reduce inflammation and improve the immune system. However, drinking coffee only works to prevent type 2 diabetes, not cure it. People who already have type 1 or type 2 diabetes should avoid drinking coffee.

Support Gut Health

The antioxidants in coffee are one of the healthiest components of coffee. These antioxidants can also help to improve gut health and minorly change the way the body stores fat. Both of these things can also help with weight loss. Coffee seems to positively affect the gut health of men more than women, but both sexes can gain something from it.

Lower Parkinson’s Symptoms

Parkinson’s is a neurological (brain) disorder that affects the way a person moves. This can make them feel shaky and off-balance. While it mostly affects older people, anyone could get it. People who drink coffee on a regular basis are less likely to get Parkinson’s than people who do not. People who already have Parkinson’s can also benefit from drinking coffee, as it can make the disease progress more slowly.

Keep the Liver Healthy

The liver helps to filter toxins out of the body, so it is important to keep it healthy. Drinking one cup of coffee a day can lower the risk of dying from a liver-related disease by 15%. Drinking four cups of coffee a day can lower the risk by about 70%! Drinking coffee can also help to reduce the risk of living scarring and liver cancer.
