In large quantities, coffee - can be bad for your health. However, researchers at Harvard have recently shown that drinking coffee in moderation may not only be harmless, but can possibly have positive benefits.
Among these benefits are:
~ Lowering your risk of developing Type 2 diabetes
~ Lowering your risk of developing gallstones
~Lowering your risk of Colon cancer
~ Lowering your risk of Liver damage and Parkinson's disease.
~ Coffee may also help improve endurance in long-duration physical activities.
DRINKING COFFEE WISELY !
Spreading your coffee consumption over the course of the day will help you stay more alert than drinking most of your coffee intake during one period. So, instead of a 16 ounce serving first thing in the morning, try consuming 4-6 ounces every hour.
Moderation is still the key. Caffeine is a mild addictive stimulant that can still have harmful effects such as an increased heart rate and blood pressure. Limit yourself to two or three cups a day.
