Coffee Drinkers Unite And Rejoice!

By Linda Blender

For some of us, our morning coffee fix is as essential as cleaning our teeth. I personally need at least 2 or 3 mugs of the brown stuff before lunch. But I have friends who can easily sink 4 or 5 in the same time span. For years we've heard about different research groups warning us of the dangers of too much coffee or singing its medical benefits. Today it seems like the medical experts have finally agreed upon the health benefits of coffee to all parts of our body from head to toe. Like any stimulant, it also depends on the wellbeing and medical condition of the individual. But for arguments sake, we'll presume you are an average male or female without any known medical issues.

Here are 4 reasons to be a cheerful coffee drinker:

1. Antioxidants In Coffee Are Good For Your Health: That is correct! Coffee contains antioxidants which protect your body from conditions such as cancer, heart problems, cirrhosis of the liver, and gallstones. As a healthy part off your diet, you must be careful not to drink too much coffee and also get your antioxidants from other fruit and vegetables throughout the day... a balanced diet including coffee is the way to go!

2. Coffee Helps Protects Your Heart: Recent studies have shown that drinking 4 to 5 cups of coffee a day can reduce the risk of dying from heart disease by up to 50% compared to non-coffee drinkers. If you suffer from hypertension the caffeine can cause your arteries to constrict and raise your blood pressure. However, the temporary increase in blood pressure isn't a problem for those who don't have hypertension to begin with.

3. Coffee Can Boost Your Memory: A balanced moderate consumption has a beneficial effect over your mental and physical effect. Coffee helps reduce the sensation of tiredness, improves your short term memory and increases your intellectual performance. Drinking coffee on a regular and moderate basis may also reduce the risk of Parkinson's disease by up to 60%!

4. Coffee Can Help You Burn Fat: Caffeine suppresses your appetite and increases your heart rate and metabolism. Combine this with a healthy diet and moderate exercise and you can boost the amount of fat you burn by up to a fifth. Don't rely on coffee to make you leaner. Without exercise and a healthy diet you'll not reap any of the benefits. - 32389
