Those of us who love to indulge in our daily coffee break bliss will be happy to find out that we may actually be giving our health a boost with each glorious sip.  Perhaps it’s time to mention this to your boss so that you can get even more coffee breaks throughout the day… and what about that Keurig machine you’ve always wanted in your break room? After all, it produces the best K-cup coffee and what boss wouldn’t want to drink to your health?

 

As if you need more reasons to love coffee, here are 5 health boosting effects.

 

1. Lower Risk of Developing Diabetes
This may sound too good to be true, but enjoying your best K-cup coffee flavors each morning can actually lead to a lower risk of developing diabetes. Basically this can be attributed to certain components of coffee that actually improve the liver’s ability to burn sugar. Studies show that both caffeinated and decaffeinated coffee seems to have the same benefit when it comes to Diabetes.

 

2. Antioxidants Help Fight Cancer
We all know we feel better when we enjoy our best k-cup coffee flavor in the morning, but we may not even realize the great antioxidants that we are bringing into our bodies. Antioxidants are found in a wide variety of plant-based foods and products and are known to help protect the body against certain types of cancers.

 

3. Protects Men From Parkinson’s Disease
This surprising health benefit was discovered nearly a decade ago when a study found that men who don’t drink coffee are actually nearly 2 to 3 times more likely to develop Parkinson’s Disease. The actual caffeine in the coffee is what seems to greatly lower a man’s chances of developing the disease.

 

4. Lower Risk of Dementia
Coffee certainly seems to have a great impact on our mental state as those of us who joyfully sip our best k-cup coffee flavors first thing in the morning can attest to, but studies have found that coffee does more for our mental health than just make us feel good. In one study, researchers discovered that among those who drank 3 to 5 cups of coffee a day, they were 65% less likely to develop dementia.

 

5. Less Chance of Developing Gallstones
Women now have another way to ward off gallstones. Apparently (according to research) women who drink more than 4 cups of caffeinated coffee a day can greatly lower their risk of developing gallstones. These painful stones often require surgery and if we can help lower our chances of dealing with this painful issue, let’s drink up our best k-cup coffee and say cheers to our health!
