id: 10048885

1 ☕Coffee reduces the risk of diabetes☕
Numerous studies around the world have shown that moderate (3-5 cups per day) coffee consumption reduces the risk of type 2 diabetes. The polyphenols and magnesium found in coffee can improve the processing of glucose in the body.

2☕ Coffee reduces the risk of heart disease and stroke☕
In the Nurses' Health Study, which included about 80,000 women, 2-4 cups of coffee a day were shown to reduce the risk of coronary heart disease and stroke. A similar effect was not found for other drinks - tea and energy drinks with caffeine. It is assumed that the protective effect is due to other chemical compounds other than caffeine found in coffee.

3 ☕Coffee Reduces Depression☕
The polyphenols found in coffee act as antioxidants, reducing oxidative stress in cells. For some people, they act as antidepressants. Caffeine can affect mental health by improving focus, mood, and reducing anxiety. However, in some people who are especially sensitive to caffeine, it can, on the contrary, cause anxiety, restlessness and insomnia. Sudden withdrawal of coffee sometimes causes headache, fatigue, anxiety, and lowered mood for several days.

4 ☕Coffee protects against diseases of the nervous system☕
In large studies, it was found that daily consumption of 3-5 cups of coffee per day reduced the risk of developing Parkinson's disease by more than 50%, and Alzheimer's disease by more than 60%.

5☕ Coffee reduces the risk of gallstones☕
Caffeine and other components of the drink stimulate the contraction of the gallbladder and prevent the development of the so-called sludge syndrome - a condition in which bile stagnates in the bladder and stones form.

As you can see, coffee has a number of beneficial properties for the body. Of course, it is not a panacea. If a person drinks coffee, but at the same time continues to smoke, move little and eat improperly, all beneficial effects will be reduced to zero. A very important measure is no more than 3-5 cups a day.
