Coffee Is Good For You

We often hear about the negatives, but coffee can be good for you in some ways.  There are health risks - the damage it can cause to your memory, increased agitation and so on - but according to new research from the National Cancer Institute in Maryland, coffee can actually be good for you and can extend your life.

They found you are less likely to die from a number of ailments the more coffee you drink. The ailments include:–

  • Accidents
  • Diabetes
  • Infections
  • Respiratory disease
  • Heart disease
  • Injuries


But it does not reduce the risk of cancer.

They found that the same findings occurred even when the participants in the study were drinking decaffeinated coffee.

It is thought that it is not actually the caffeine giving health benefits, but the effects of magnesium and antioxidants which are contained in coffee.
