We recently wrote about how chicken soup
REALLY
IS good for cold symptoms. Now it turns out that drinking
coffee is a good way to prevent yourself from getting more
serious diseases.
Moderate consumption of coffee is being shown to have
generally positive and protective effects on the emergence of
disease conditions. Food Technology magazine reports that
recent studies of coffee in combination with reviews of
research gathered over the past 30 years reveal that
consumption improves glucose regulation and lowers the risk
of developing type 2 diabetes.
Nutritionist Roger A. Clemens says, "Many negative health
myths about coffee drinking may now be transformed into
validated health benefits. Scientific evidence now suggests
that moderate coffee consumption?3 to 5 cups a day?may
be associated with reduced risks of certain disease
conditions." These include Alzheimer's disease, kidney stones
and depression.
Another area of coffee?s positive affect on the body is its
possible cancer-protective properties, possibly due to its
naturally occurring and brewing-produced antioxidants.
Some research strongly links coffee's properties to protect
blood vessels from dilating as one possible mechanism that
brain cells use to defend against Parkinson's disease. One cup
of coffee a day may be enough to cut the risk of developing
this disease in half.
