Consuming Caffeine

Independent research has shown there are several unlikely benefits that you might have not known about from consuming caffeine.

Consuming caffeine offers some extra health improvements, but the key is moderation.

Caffeinated coffee can reduce the risk of mouth and throat cancer by 50%. The study involved 1 million men and women that were cancer free at the beginning of a 26 year period. People that consumed 4 or more cups of coffee per day had least risk.

A more surprising statistic showed that consuming caffeine might reduce the risk of stroke by as much as 22%. Antioxidants in coffee is the main cause for this. Coffee is an excellent choice for getting a quick jolt and some healthy nutrients daily.

In some cases, onset of Diabetes type II was found in a much lower rate. The Diabetes Journal stated that “Nineteen of 22 epidemiological studies concluded that long-term consumption of coffee, both caffeinated and decaffeinated, can reduce the risk of type 2 diabetes.”

One of the more interesting studies found that those who drink coffee after a heart attack are less likely to die from the incident. Research shows that heart attack victims who consume more than 2 cups of coffee daily have the least risk of mortality from the heart attack. Make sure you drink a cup of coffee a day, but remember that everything is only good in moderation!
