If you drink the right amount of coffee your body needs, you will be able to maximise its full benefit to your body and well-being. Drinking coffee helps you have a healthier body and fight lots of illnesses.

Here are the seven diseases that drinking coffee help prevent:

Type 2 Diabetes

Coffee contains antioxidants such as flavonoids and polyphenols, which helps reduce oxidative stress and plays a vital role in disease development. 

In relation to this, experts found that increasing daily coffee consumption by one cup may be associated with a decrease in the relative risk of type 2 diabetes by 11%. You may only experience the benefits of drinking coffee when you avoid adding sugar or syrup to your coffee. 

Alzheimer’s Disease

In 2021, researchers suggested that regular coffee consumption slows cognitive decline and may protect an individual against Alzheimer’s disease. According to the study, it can be related to slowing amyloid, which initially developed in the areas of the brain concerned with memory.

Stroke

Stroke has been one of the major and most common causes of death in the past years. According to experts, drinking three to four cups of coffee a day may result in lowering the risk of stroke by 21%.

You do not have to overdo it because having more than this amount cannot reduce the risk of having a stroke any further.

Liver Health

Whether it is regular or decaffeinated, the coffee you drink may play a vital role in safeguarding your liver. Experts discovered that coffee drinkers are more likely to have liver enzymes level within a healthy range than those who do not drink coffee. 

Heart Disease
