There are at least five reasons you should keep drinking your daily cups of coffee:
- Coffee may protect the liver and ward off cirrhosis and even liver cancer.
- Coffee is a lot more than just caffeine. It contains antioxidants and other nutrients that make it a veritable competitor to the likes of blueberries and green tea.
- The long-held myth that coffee acts as a diuretic has been discounted, and although it does cause urinary urgency, coffee now counts toward our total daily fluid intake.
- Research has shown that coffee may protect against neurodegenerative diseases including Parkinson's and Alzheimer's.
- Based on the results of 18 studies, involving almost half a million subjects, each additional cup of coffee per day resulted in a 7% reduction in the development of diabetes.
