Benefits of drinking coffee

[Armaan]

For most of us, the day does not begin without the early morning shot of caffeine. While drinking coffee might be viewed as an addiciton, there are myriad benefits to drinking coffee. Here are some of them.

Coffee reduces the risk of cancer: Caffeine contains polyphenols, which help reduces the risk of cancer. Regular coffee intake is also known to decrease the incidence of early onset of breast cancer too.

Helps protect the liver: Research suggest that the more coffee people drink, the less susceptible they are to liver diseases like cirrhosis. One analysis even found that every two-cup increase in daily coffee intake was associated with a 43 per cent lower risk of liver cancer.

It's good for the brain too: Moderate coffee drinking is known to reduce the risk of dementia, Parkinson's disease and Alzheimer's, since caffeine is rich in antioxidants, which prevent damage to the brain cells.
