Question

i love my coffee....

Answer 1

I was looking through the my AARP magazine. The latest issue with Robert DeNiro on the cover. On page 22, The Health Report list 9 Secrets to Better Health states, Drink more coffee.

I will write this article word for word for you and then you decide.

The steaming cup that wakes you up can also keep you healthy. Research shows that coffee protects against a variety of ailments-from cavities to colon cancer. And some studies suggest that the more you drink the better. The beverage lowers your risk of type 2 diabetes and can protect your liver from damage, too. Caffeine gets credit for some of coffee's magic powers, including protection against Parkinson's disease and gallstones. But coffee's main benefit comes from it's wealth of antioxidants. In fact the coffee bean, which is technically a berry, has one of the highest antioxidant content of all berries, says Thomas dePaulis,Ph.D., formerly of Vanderbilt University institute for Coffee Studies. That's why drop for drop coffee has more of nutrients than even red wine. If you have osteoporosis, be , be sure to follow your doctor's advice for calcium supplementation, because in some studies, coffee drinking has raised the risk of bone fractures.

I love my coffee and I quite enjoyed showing this to certain people who keep telling me I need to limit or quit drinking my coffee. They say it will kill me. I tell them it just might if I don't die first by getting hit by a train. lol.

Answer 2

Anything that is over-consumed are bad for you.

Therefore, the key is to keep in moderation. Coffee has some health benefits and it may prevent some type of cancer or disease. It is also a quick fix for sleeplessness & may speed your metabolism a little.

Make sure you drink 6-8 glasses of water per day to keep you hydrated, as unfortunately coffee dehydrates the fluids in your body.

Also, pregnant women are not recommended to drink more than 1-2 cups per day
