According to Dr. Leana Wen, an emergency physician and professor at George Washington University, “the evidence is strong: moderate coffee consumption is associated with a reduced risk of developing certain chronic diseases.”
Numerous studies confirm that drinking coffee in moderation can:
Reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease;
Decrease the risk of type 2 diabetes;
Protect against certain cancers and dementia.
Coffee contains antioxidants and anti-inflammatory compounds that support the immune system and contribute to cell protection. Some components also help improve insulin utilization and stabilize blood sugar levels.
But beware of excess.
