4 Surprising Health Benefits from your Daily Cup of Coffee

1. Lowers Risk for Dementia and Alzheimer’s

Consuming caffeine can actually lower the risk of Dementia and Alzheimer’s disease. In a study, drinking about 3-5 cups of coffee a day was associated with a decreased risk of dementia/AD by about 65%. 

2. Lowers Risk for Type 2 Diabetes

Studies have also shown that caffeine can lower the risk of developing type 2 diabetes. Three compounds found in coffee seem to block the toxic buildup of a protein linked with type 2 diabetes. 

3. Lowers Risk for Parkinson’s Disease

Research on caffeine and Parkinson’s disease shows that men who don’t drink coffee at all are five times more likely to get the Parkinson’s disease compared to those who drink seven cups, or 28 oz., or more each day. 

4. Lowers Risk for Skin Cancer

Caffeine can also protect against skin cancer in women. After 24 years of research, studies found that women who eat or drink the most caffeine have an 18% lower risk of basal cell skin cancer than women who eat or drink little to none.  

We aren’t doctors and can’t promise any of these results, but we do know coffee, and ours is delicious!
