Do you remember a few years ago when eggs were thought to be bad for your cholesterol, but after research, they found that eggs are actually good for you? Nuts were once thought of as diet-wreckers due to their high fat and calorie content, but are now considered a healthy part of your diet.
And coffee?
Yes! Newsweek has reported that three or four cups a day is good for you! Knowing my morning Cup O’ Joe can be considered a healthy choice makes me enjoy it even more.
Antioxidants
If you’ve heard the word “antioxidants” thrown around but don’t really understand what that means, you’re not alone. Antioxidants simply fight inflammation in your body. Coffee beans are considered one of the most antioxidant-packed sources and can help protect you from heart disease and liver damage, or cirrhosis of the liver.
Type 2 Diabetes
Due to its anti-inflammatory properties, coffee helps battle Type 2 diabetes. Coffee also helps your body regulate insulin and blood sugar, which prevents tissue damage. Drink up!
Pleasure Principle
We all know about the pleasures of coffee: the aroma, the heat of the cup, the warmth that spreads throughout your body after one delicious sip. That’s part of what we love about coffee, but did you know that drinking it actually lowers your rate of depression? It’s known that caffeine activates pleasure control areas of your brain that influence your mood. Just one more reason to smile while you’re lingering over that third cup.
