Maybe; but at least it seems that a cup a day may keep the doctor away. Not convinced? Read on...

 

There are many who believe that coffee is bad for one’s health. However, several studies regarding the effects of coffee on health have revealed that, if consumed regularly and in moderation, coffee provides a number of anti-aging benefits. For example, Harvard Women's Health Watch claims that moderate coffee consumption, defined as 3 to 4 cups per day, is actually beneficial to your health.

 

Here’s some of the mostly good news about coffee:  

1. Coffee is the #1 source of antioxidants in the American diet

Fruits and vegetables are the richest sources of antioxidants. While the amount of antioxidants per serving is indeed much higher in things like berries, beans, and pecans, these foods are consumed less frequently than coffee. In fact, a 2005 study found that Americans get more antioxidants from coffee than anywhere else (Institute of Coffee Studies at Vanderbilt University). Surprisingly, both caffeinated and decaffeinated coffees provide similar amounts of antioxidants.
 

2. Coffee has anti-cancer properties

Last year, researchers found that coffee drinkers were 50% less likely to get liver cancer than nondrinkers. By drinking 2 cups per day, you’re also slashing your risk of getting colon cancer by 25 percent. Some studies have also found ties to lower rates of breast and skin cancers as well.

 

3. Coffee can reduce risk fro Type2 diabetes

 Coffee contains chemicals that lower blood sugar. Heavy coffee drinkers (4 or more cups a day) may be half as likely to get diabetes as light drinkers or nondrinkers.

 

4. Coffee increases your metabolism

Beneficial in terms of weight loss, your morning cup can significantly speed up metabolism by about 10 percent during the first three hours following consumption.

5. Coffee protects against brain diseases

It provides coffee-drinkers with protection against certain age-related brain problems, such as Alzheimer’s Disease and dementia.  Also, coffee seems to protect men, but not women, against Parkinson’s disease. One possible explanation for the sex difference may be that estrogen and caffeine need the same enzymes to be metabolized, and estrogen captures those enzymes.

COFFEE FOR BEAUTY

 

 

Beside its healthy properties, coffee is also a fabulous beauty aid. Here are the advantages of this product in terms of cosmetic use:

 

  • Stop wrinkles

Coffee is one of the richest sources of antioxidants, much more than red wine, green tea and cocoa. Antioxidants prevent free radicals from damaging skin cells damage, one of the reasons for premature aging and wrinkles.

 

  • No dark rings around your eyes

Coffee is very often use in facials as it brightens up the skin but equivalently also helps in lightening and tightening of skin. It also reduces pigmentation.

 

  • No cellulite

Caffeine dehydrates fat cells and it is also a diuretic, which absorbs water from the skin cells, preventing and treating cellulite.

 

 

 

Last but not least…coffee is a natural APHRODISIAC!

Coffee not only provides more healthful antioxidants, it also helps clear the mind and perk up the energy.

Coffee excites not just the body, but can also elevate mood. The drink is essentially the world's most socially acceptable stimulant. In fact, its stamina-enhancing ability has led it to become a status symbol in certain cultures. Do not abuse: too much coffee can kill the stimulating effects.

Remember: The caffeine found in coffee can stay in your system for up to 12 hours, making it more difficult to fall asleep, and it affects your quality of sleep as well. Caffeine is also a diuretic, which can lead to dehydration.

Note: The recommended maximum amount of coffee an average person should drink per day is 3 to 4 cups. If you are pregnant and/or predisposed to get high blood pressure and heart disease, caffeine might be harmful over time.  Please consult your doctor.
