And we\u2019re back with another edition of The Health Benefits Of [fill-in-the-blank]. 
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So far, we\u2019ve served up blog posts on the health benefits of red wine,<\/a> dark chocolate<\/a>, nuts<\/a>, and now, perhaps the biggest showstopper of them all: 5 Health Benefits of Coffee.\u00a0\u00a0
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You\u2019re either vibrating with excitement from this announcement, the caffeine, or both. 
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The point is that coffee can be good for you, and you can lose any shame about having to rely on it to get through the day. 
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here\u2019s what we\u2019ve brewed for you. 
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Coffee Can Give You Higher Energy & Intelligence<\/strong>
<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Who doesn\u2019t want to feel smarter and more alert? 
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now, it\u2019s common knowledge that caffeine is a stimulant, but understanding the science behind feeling more energized is pretty cool. As you sip coffee, your bloodstream snatches up the caffeine and funnels it to your brain, blocking adenosine, an inhibitory neurotransmitter that causes drowsiness.<\/a> The door then opens for other neurotransmitters like dopamine and norepinephrine<\/a>, which give you that pep in your step.\u00a0
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What happens when you experience increases in memory, mood, vigilance, energy levels, reaction times, and general mental function? You become more intelligent. According to Healthline<\/a>, multiple controlled studies bear this out.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Coffee Is Nutrient-Rich<\/strong>
<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

You can get your nutrient fix from a single cup of coffee. It\u2019s like Vitamin Bingo: coffee beans contain vitamins B2, B3, B5, potassium, and manganese. No need to feel bashful about your fifth cup of coffee of the day when you\u2019re packing these in. 
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By the way, if your eyes saw \u201cmagnesium\u201d while reading \u201cmanganese\u201d, you\u2019re not alone. The former supports muscle and nerve function and energy production, while the latter plays an important role in bone formation and reducing inflammation. 
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thanks for the confusion, Periodic Table. 
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Coffee Lowers Risk Of Diseases<\/strong>
<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Something that smells and tastes good and<\/em> protects you from disease is a win-win-win. This information comes from none other than John Hopkins Medicine<\/a>.\u00a0
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Heart Failure –<\/em><\/strong> For starters, consuming coffee can ward off heart failure in people with hearts that have trouble pumping enough blood to the body.

Parkinson\u2019s Disease –<\/em><\/strong> Nutrient-rich caffeine can lower your chances of developing Parkinson\u2019s and ease the symptoms of those suffering from the disease. 
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Colorectal Cancer – <\/em><\/strong>According to a Johns Hopkins Medicine study, one in 23 women develop colon cancer, but drinkers of regular or decaf coffee were 26 percent less likely to get colorectal cancer.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cirrhosis – <\/em><\/strong>People who drink four or more cups of coffee a day can lower their risk of developing cirrhosis by up to 80 percent. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Coffee Can Increase Your Lifespan <\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Lowered risk of disease typically means you live longer. Healthline cites two comprehensive studies<\/a> finding that consuming coffee was associated with a 20 percent reduced risk of death in men and a 26 percent decreased risk of death in women over 18 – 24 years.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. Chock Full of Antioxidants<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Lest you thought our friends, the Antioxidants wouldn\u2019t make an appearance in this blog post, you were mistaken. You can impress folks at your next coffee meeting or cocktail party (hello, Irish coffee!) by informing them that the biggest source of antioxidants in the western diet is…coffee. In fact, many of us get more antioxidants from coffee than fruits and vegetables combined. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Well, it turns out that you can have your coffee and drink it, too. If you weren’t sipping a cup while reading this, go ahead and fire up your Keurig, prepare your French press, or hit a Starbucks, Dunkin\u2019, or wherever you enjoy your coffee. You’ve earned it.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
