Coffee Cuts Risk for THIS Common Disease
There are plenty of vices to stay away from.
But no matter what anyone tells you… coffee isn’t one of them.
Coffee is chock-full of nutrients that can improve your health in many ways.
Today, I’ll focus on just one. But it’s a real doozy that we’re ALL at risk for.
And if you happen to be an adult over 65, your risk of developing this common disease shoots up to 33 percent.
But your cup of Joe could help dial that percentage right back down.
Researchers studied a group of over 150,000 people to evaluate the connection between coffee consumption and inflammation.
Ultimately, they found that your favorite morning beverage has an inflammation-lowering effect that could SLASH your risk of type 2 diabetes.
Specifically, the study found that each additional cup of coffee was associated with a 4 to 6 percent reduced risk of developing the disease.
This is consistent with earlier research linking coffee to a reduced risk of diabetes. Plus, it confirms that inflammation can increase your risk of developing the condition.
The bottom line is that coffee is a healthy drink rich in beneficial compounds like chlorogenic acids, lignans, caffeine, and diterpenes.
So feel free to drink it guilt-free.
Just make sure it’s ALSO sugar-free… especially if you have diabetes or are trying to avoid it.
P.S. It turns out you can also drink coffee to prevent the number one risk factor for another devastating disease. It’s the TOP killer of men and women in the United States. I’ve got all the details RIGHT HERE.
