As a coffee lover, I delight in reading about its benefits. In a recent column, Dr. Oz informed us that six daily cups of coffee can reduce our risk of Alzheimer's disease by more than 20%.Researchers at Harvard Medical School have suggested that coffee may be helpful in preventing the following diseases:
Cancer: Coffee drinkers have lower rates of colon and rectal cancers and are 50% less likely to get liver cancer than coffee abstainers.
Type 2 Diabetes: Coffee contains chemicals that lower blood sugar. Coffee may increase your resting metabolism rate, which could help prevent diabetes.
Parkinson's Disease: Coffee seems to protect men from Parkinson's disease.
Heart Disease: Scientists think antioxidants in coffee may reduce inflammation and protect blood vessels.
Asthma: In one study, adults with asthma who drank two to three cups of coffee daily had 25% fewer asthma attacks than those who drank none.
