Coffee is the fuel that keeps you going whether you’re on hour 13 of your intermittent fast, or a soccer mom running on hardly any Zzz’s. Here’s news to perk up your morning... Coffee is good for more than just keeping you buzzing throughout the day. In fact, a study conducted with more than 500,000 men and women showed that people who drink more coffee have the lowest risk of all-cause mortality. Basically, drinking coffee can help you live longer. And if you’re going to be drinking a lot of it, make sure it’s organic and high quality to receive the most benefits! Need more convincing? Here are three science-backed studies that show the impact that coffee may have on your life… COFFEE IMPROVES COGNITIVE FUNCTION Coffee increases blood flow to the brain, which aids in brain function. And, both coffee and caffeine have been researched as a natural treatment for Alzheimer’s disease. One animal study showed mice that were given caffeine in their water from young adulthood into older age were more protected against memory damage, and they had lower levels of amyloid-beta (the protein thought to contribute to Alzheimer’s development). COFFEE REDUCES CHANCES OF COLORECTAL CANCER AND LIVER CANCER Risk of colorectal cancer is reduced by 26% for people who drink just two cups of coffee a day, according to one large study. A separate study showed that the risk of liver cancer was reduced by 43% for people who drank two cups a day. COFFEE LOWERS RISK OF HEART DISEASE AND STROKE Coffee is typically where most Americans get their greatest source of antioxidants. Yes, you read that correctly. Americans get more antioxidants from coffee than from vegetables, fruits, or wine. And, an increased amount of antioxidants has been linked to a lower risk of stroke and heart disease.
