Here are 11 great reasons to drink coffee. Just remember: As with anything else, be careful not to go overboard.
1. YOU’LL SLASH YOUR DIABETES RISK
After crunching the numbers from 28 studies and over 1 million participants, Harvard researchers found that people who drank just one cup of coffee a day were 8 percent less likely to develop diabetes than those who never had the beverage.
And the protection increased the more people chugged: People who downed 6 cups a day cut their risk of diabetes by 33 percent.
What’s the link? Coffee is high in a polyphenol called chlorogenic acid, which has been shown to reduce blood sugar concentrations and their absorption in the intestines. The researchers believe this may explain some of the diabetes-protective effects they found.
