Perk Up! Coffee Packs Tons of Health Benefits!
Coffee provides more than a morning jolt--it's also surprisingly good way to stay slim and healthy (and great in recipes too!)
Health Benefits in Every Cup
Studies show that coffee can help ward off mental decline, certain
cancers, Parkinson's disease, high blood pressure, and even extra pounds
(yes, really!). A study published in the Archives of Internal Medicine
found that each time you refill your cup of java (caffeinated or decaf)
in a day, you slash your diabetes risk by 7 percent; in another study,
drinking two to three cups of coffee each day was associated with a 21
percent lower risk of heart disease.Want to reap all these benefits without the jitters or coffee breath? Give your next meal a shot of espresso.
