5 Ways Drinking Coffee Can Lead To Better Health5 Ways Drinking Coffee Can Lead To Better Health

Coffee doesn't just boost your energy, but your health, too!

Many of us can't start our day without a cup of coffee. And we can become so dependent on it that we crave it throughout the day, especially when we're in need of an energy boost. So it's natural to wonder, since we consume it on a regular basis, is coffee healthy?

Thought it can cause certain problems like palpitations, blood pressure, insomnia, and incontinence, it also has a lot of benefits.

Is coffee healthy? Here are 5 of its best health benefits

1. A cup of coffee a day could help lessen type 2 Diabetes

Whether caffeinated or decaffeinated, drinking coffee may help protect you from developing diabetes.

According to a 2009 study published in JAMA (Journal of the American Medical Association) claimed that for every cup of coffee you drink in a day, you could reduce your risk of developing Type 2 diabetes.

But if you already have diabetes or want to lessen your sugar intake, reducing coffee consumption is still encouraged.

2. Drinking coffee can help improve heart health

A number of studies have claimed that coffee can have a positive effect on heart health. One of the most recent is research done by the American Heart Association.

According to their findings, coffee can help reduce the risk of heart disease. For every 8 ounces of coffee per day, researchers found that it can help reduce the risk of heart disease by up to 7%.

3. Coffee can help minimise your risk for Alzheimer's and Dementia

If you drink coffee regularly, researchers believe it can help make you less likely to suffer brain-related conditions in the future, such as dementia and Alzheimer's. It can also boost brain health by preventing a decline in brain activity.

4. It can help protect you from depression

Not only can your daily cup of joe help you improve your mood, it can also help deeper mental issues, like depression.

A study, which had 50,000 female participants found that those who drank two to three cups of coffee per day reduced their risk of developing depression by 15%.

This was further supported by another study that found those who drank coffee regularly—about two to three cups a day—were less predisposed to committing suicide.

5. Drinking coffee can help reduce your risk for cancer

There are quite a number of lifestyle changes you can adopt to help protect yourself from cancer. And according to several studies, you can add drinking coffee to this list.

The British Medical Journal, for instance, found that drinking at least 3 cups a day could help lessen one's cancer risk by 18%.

Other studies also claim keeping coffee on your daily diet helps reduce the risk of developing specific cancers like endometrial, oral/pharyngeal, and prostate cancer.

The good news is you can now have premium coffee that allows you to reap all these benefits right at the comfort of your own home. 

Just recently, Nestlé Singapore announced launched Starbucks At Home—a new range of premium coffee products, including whole bean and roast and ground packaged coffees, as well as the first-ever Starbucks capsules developed using NESCAFÉ Dolce Gusto proprietary coffee and system technologies. This means you can now enjoy Starbucks coffee without having to go to a Starbucks outlet.

5 Ways Drinking Coffee Can Lead To Better Health

The new range of coffee products includes a variety of signature Starbucks blends and single-origin coffees, as well as a selection of classic beverages such as Caramel Macchiato and Cappuccino. 

Starbucks by NESCAFÉ Dolce Gusto capsules are available on the NESCAFÉ Dolce Gusto web shop: https://www.dolce-gusto.com.sg/
