Go Get A Cup Of Black Coffee. You'll Enjoy These 12 Health Benefits
Coffee seems to be what makes this world go round. There's a trendy shop on every corner. There's a Starbucks equally located on each of those corners, and within the other places near by masked as separate retailers, but are in fact just a building that houses a Starbucks inside of it as well. Okay sorry, not the point. The point is, coffee is wildly popular, and now we're here to tell you it's more than just something you want to drink to wake up. Seriously–you should drink it for your health.
That's right, black coffee everyday actually helps you maintain a healthier liver. Four or more cups a day gives black coffee drinkers an 80% lower rate of cirrhosis of the liver and as much as a 40% lower rate of developing liver cancer. Seems like a pretty obvious choice to break out the beans just for that reason, but there's more.
This means drinking black coffee everyday could help you reduce the risk of dementia and Alzheimer’s. In fact, regular coffee drinkers over a period of years have shown to have a 65% reduced risk in terms of those neurological diseases. So, forget tea and remember to drink your coffee.
Caffeine acts as a psychoactive stimulant, and through a 30-45 anatomical process the chemicals in your body will begin to boost your mood, energy, memory, response times, and general cognitive functioning. That's a lot of reasons to get yourself a hot brew every morning, that's for sure.
The process? Urination. Coffee is a diuretic, meaning it makes you need to go to the restroom more often essentially. Urinating naturally flushes our toxins and bacterias that are stored in the body, but with the addition of coffee you actually enhance that process and go more often. So, black coffee drinkers are often less sick less often than others. That's amazing!
Boost your metabolism by as much as 11%. Caffeine is a natural fat-burning substance, and thus can assist you when trying to lose weight (just look at any weight-loss pill). Now, you should still eat healthy and exercise, not just rely on coffee to do the trick, but it's definitely a beneficial ally in the process.
Regular drinkers have shown a 20% less risk for stroke. Caffeine increases your heart rate, so it's good for your cardiovascular health, but don't think you can just drink coffee in place of a little exercise. You need both (see #5).
So, this means you're getting your essential nutrients, including: Vitamins B2, B3, and B5, Manganese, Magnesium, and Potassium. These are more readily absorbed by the human body than getting them from other sources, so drink up and feel the nutritious effects.
Calm that is. There's a reason people say, "Don't talk to me until I've had my first cup of coffee." It's because even just smelling coffee changes the protein in the brain associated with stress. So sniff and gulp your way into a happier existence.
Overloading with cream and sugar doesn't not yield the same beneficial effects in reducing the risk for type 2 diabetes, for obvious reasons. Studies point to a statistic of a 7% drop in risk for diabetes with a daily cup of joe.
That drip brew that you wake up every morning is essential in your fight against several types of cancers. 4-5 cups a day offers a 15% lower risk of colorectal cancer, and a 40% lower risk of liver cancer. It even helps in terms of skin cancer, lowering the risk in women by 20%. We already went over how it can help your liver as well, so are you feeling convinced to start drinking coffee regularly? Good, there's more reasons yet to be read as well.
Caffeine boosts dopamine levels, which by the way, Parkinson's develops through a drop in dopamine levels. Those who are regular coffee drinkers have shown a 32-60% lower risk of developing this disease.
It even helps fight against depression. Remember how we said it increases dopamine levels? Yeah, there's the answer to happiness right there, and black coffee is full of it. Regular drinkers are said to have a 20% reduced risk of becoming depressed, and are more than 50% less likely to commit suicide.
There you have: so many healthy reasons to start drinking coffee on a daily basis. The world will be a happier and healthier place with the added coffee shop patrons from this post, we just know it.
