Coffee and you

When the news came out that drinking coffee can prevent some illnesses, I think all coffee lovers including me were so delighted to hear that and rejoiced perhaps that they are way ahead just like friends lovely and q who confessed they are coffee addicts.

An article that I came across pointed out of one wanting a drug which could lower their risk of Parkinson's disease, diabetes, as well as colon cancer. A substance which could lift ones mood and relieve headaches. A drug that could lower the risk of getting cavities. It said coffee appears to be that substance.

Studies indicate coffee reduces the risk for diabetes and Parkinson's

Some studies have shown that coffee may reduce the risk of type 2 diabetes. After analyzing data on 120,000 people over an 18-year period (1), researchers at Harvard have concluded that drinking 1 to 3 cups of caffeinated coffee each day can reduce diabetes risk by several percentage points, compared with not drinking coffee at all.

Even more significant, is the fact that in this study, having 6 cups or more per day slashed men's risk by 54% and women's risk by 30% over those who avoided coffee. This study is the latest of hundreds of studies which suggest that coffee may be something of a health food - especially in higher amounts.

Around the globe the first thing that people do in the morning after doing their own rituals is grab a cup of coffee. Old and young alike these days love the bean that allow the mature ones a choice of brewed coffee or the young ones cold cappuccino or mocha java.

And whether one is in New York or in Davao City it is a lot easier nowadays to while away the time and relax in coffee shops because running a shop is thriving anywhere as lots of people turned coffee lovers too. I don't know if it is a trend but I learned loving it a long time ago.
