Coffee Can Be 'Cool Beans' for Your Health
Doctors say coffee is actually not bad at all.
For years, we've heard mostly negative health myths associated with drinking coffee. But recently, more and more doctors have found good reasons for having another cup of joe.
According to information publishished by Harvard Medical School, "Current research reveals that in moderation—a few cups a day—coffee is a safe beverage that may even offer some health benefits."
"The latest research has not only confirmed that moderate coffee consumption doesn't cause harm, it's also uncovered possible benefits. Studies show that the risk for type 2 diabetes is lower among regular coffee drinkers than among those who don't drink it. Also, coffee may reduce the risk of developing gallstones, discourage the development of colon cancer, improve cognitive function, reduce the risk of liver damage in people at high risk for liver disease, and reduce the risk of Parkinson's disease. Coffee has also been shown to improve endurance performance in long-duration physical activities." Read full article.
