Lower risk of type 2 diabetes

Type 2 diabetes has become a gigantic problem, especially for grandparents. The disease is characterized by elevated blood sugar due to insulin resistance. Research shows that coffee drinkers have a much lower risk of suffering from type 2 diabetes. Drinking coffee several times a day decreases your likelihood of becoming diabetic. There is no definite reason as to why coffee impacts the development of diabetes.

Keeps your brain sharp

Coffee doesn’t just energize and keep you awake in the morning (or any time of the day), it can also help sharpen your memory. Coffee is rich in caffeine which is a stimulant and commonly consumed as psychoactive substance throughout the world. Caffeine is absorbed into your bloodstream and travels up to your brain. This helps stimulate your brain to be more active and responsive. Caffeine also blocks inhibitory neurotransmitters in the brain which lead to a stimulant effect. This improves energy level, mood, and even various brain functions.

Helps to burn fat.

Coffee is an awesome partner for your morning routine or during a long afternoon meeting at the office. You might have heard a lot of different things about the caffeine content of coffee. Caffeine is actually one of the substances proven to help in burning fat. One cup of coffee contains enough caffeine to boost the calorie burning by about four percent over the course of two and a half hours. This raises metabolism and increases fatty acids’ oxidation. It can also enhance physical performance that includes the mobilizing of fatty acids from fat tissue.

Helps you live longer

Many people believe that coffee is totally unhealthy. But several studies show that coffee drinkers are more likely to live 10-15 percent longer and have a lower risk of premature death. This is because coffee drinkers are less likely to get a lot of diseases. Coffee helps protect your body from infections, injuries, diabetes, respiratory diseases, stroke, and heart disease.

Prevents Alzheimer’s or dementia – pay attention grandparents

Coffee doesn’t just make you smart, it also protects your brain. Alzheimer’s is one of the brain diseases most commonly associated with old age. The caffeine in coffee delays the onset of Alzheimer’s disease, even to those who are already suffering from it. Per research, caffeine blocks the inflammation in the brain which can start a chain of reaction that results to the mind not being able to function accordingly.
