Coffee is one of the most popular beverages in the world – and it’s easy to see why. It excites our taste buds and gives us the much-needed energy boost to make it through the day. However, there’s more to that luscious mug than meets the eye (or tongue). Coffee (not necessarily the sugar or creamer, though) is in fact loaded with beneficial nutrients and antioxidants that do more than keep you alert…
7 Benefits of Coffee Backed by Science
1. Boost Metabolism: Most fat-burning supplements in the market contain caffeine – and for a good reason. The substance has been scientifically demonstrated to boost your metabolic rate and help with weight loss. [1]
2. Protect Liver: Liver cirrhosis is a serious condition in which healthy tissue in the liver is replaced by scar tissue. Different studies in 2001, 2002, and 2006 concluded that ingredients in coffee inhibit the onset of cirrhosis. [2][3][4]
3. Help with Type 2 Diabetes: According to one systematic review in the JAMA medical journal, “habitual coffee consumption is associated with a substantially lower risk of type 2 diabetes.” [5] This hypothesis is supported by another large cohort review of 457,922 individuals in which a cup of coffee every day reduced the risk of type 2 diabetes by 7%. [6]
4. Mental Health: Did you know that some peer-reviewed studies claim that coffee reduces the risk of depression by 20% and suicide by 53% respectively? [7][8] Simply put, drink coffee moderately to improve your quality of life.
5. Heart Health: While caffeine increases your heart rate slightly (3-4mm/Hg), credible studies show that it doesn’t increase your risk of cardiovascular problems. [9] In a 2013 study of over 80,000 respondents, the researchers concluded that coffee consumption was “inversely associated with risk of CVD and stroke in general population.” [10]
6. Risk of Cancer: The World Health Organization notes that liver and colorectal cancer are the third and fourth leading causes of death due to cancer. [11] With this in mind, some studies show that ingredients in coffee lower the risk of liver cancer and colorectal cancer by 40% and 15% respectively. [12][13]
7. Fiber Intake: A study in the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry, claims that coffee contains high amounts of dietary fiber that can help control sugar levels, cholesterol, improve bowel health. [14]
