Coffee Benefits!
Get ready for coffee benefits! Coffee is no longer a health villain. Since
there are so many bad habits to feel guilty about, it's awfully nice when one of
those vices actually turns out to be beneficial. Take coffee: Over the years, it
has been accused of causing everything from birth defects to breast cancer. Now,
with thousands of medical studies showing little or no adverse health effects
from coffee, all the decades of nay saying are finally coming to a close. In
fact, there are a number of proven coffee benefits acquired from taking in a
daily cup or two:
- Coffee drinking may lower your risk of colon cancer by up to 25 percent
because of its ability to help keep you regular.
- Two observational studies found that regular coffee intake reduced the
risk of developing kidney stones.
- People with asthma who drink coffee can have up to 25 percent fewer
symptoms because one of the compounds in coffee - theophylline - acts as a
bronchodilator.
- Other diseases that coffee may help prevent: cirrhosis of the liver,
Parkinson's disease, skin cancer, and gallstones.
Now, this doesn't mean that you will receive coffee benefits by drinking
gallons. Research does show that 3 to 4 cups a day aren't going to do any harm.
Pregnant women should stay under 2 cups per day. And, drinking quality coffees
like Panache gourmet coffee might just do you some
good.
