Whenever I drink my Tassimo coffee – which is my favorite coffee brand, I always wonder which other benefits coffee can bring beyond keeping me awake when I need to work extra long hours at the office.
Various studies have shown that coffee can bring many benefits to the health – from stimulant to cancer reduction.
To give you an idea of how you can benefit from drinking coffee, here is a list of conditions that coffee has an influence on :
- Risk of Alzheimer’s disease and Dementia: Studies have found that people who drink more coffee (comparison made between moderate and light coffee drinkers) have a reduced risk to develop Alzheimer’s Disease and Dementia later on in life;
- Parkinson’s disease: People who drink high quantities of coffee has less chance of developing Parkison disease;
- Antioxidant: All coffees – caffeinated, decaffeinated and even instant coffee contain an anticancer compound that assists on the health of the body cells;
- Prevention of dental caries: There is an ingredient in coffee called tannins that may reduce the action of substances in other foods that cause caries.
It’s good to know that our favourite drink can also bring so many benefits to our health. It is important however to always consult your doctor to check if your diet (including drinking coffee) is well balanced and in sync with what your body requires.
