- Diabetes: First of all, coffee has been proven to reduce the risk of diabetes by up to 60%. The reason for this is that coffee is full of antioxidants, which improve how the body responds to insulin. Speaking of antioxidants, coffee also uses these antioxidants to neutralize free radical damage within your body, which can prevent premature wrinkling, disease, and severe damage over time.
- Dementia: Regular coffee drinking has also been proven to reduce the risk of dementia by 65% due to the fact that coffee blocks the damage of cholesterol within the body. Similarly, coffee will also reduce the risk for Alzheimer's disease by 65%, and a study done in Finland showed that 5 cups of coffee consumed on a daily basis reduce the risk of this disease by over half.
- Cirrhosis of the Liver: As far as the liver goes, coffee has also been proven to reduce the risk of cirrhosis of the liver by 80%. A study was done on 125,000 coffee drinkers where they consumed 1 cup of coffee on a daily basis, which reduced the risk of cirrhosis of the liver caused by alcohol by 20%. When they increased this amount to 4 cups each day, their risk was reduced by an astounding 80%!
- Gallstones: Studies have also shown that men that regularly drink coffee have a reduced risk of gallstones by 50%. Men who consumed 2 cups of coffee on a daily basis reduced this risk by 40%, with women at 25%. Those within the study that drank more than 4 cups of coffee each day had a reduced risk of 45%.
