If you drink coffee every morning, you're technically doing drugs daily.
And that's okay.
Benefits of drinking coffee according to John Hopkins Medicine:
- You could live longer
- Your body may process glucose (or sugar) better
- You're less likely to develop heart failure
- You are less likely to develop Parkinson's disease
- Improve liver function
- Stronger DNA
- Your odds of getting colon cancer will go way down.
- You may decrease your risk of getting Alzheimer's disease.
- You're not as likely to suffer a stroke.
This does not even mention the brain & energy boost you get from a cup of java.
To optimize your coffee intake, delay it at least 1.5 to 2 hours upon waking. This helps your body clear out the adenosine so you can have sustained energy into the afternoon.
Also, if you're sensitive to caffeine, stop drinking it at least 10 hours before you intend to sleep.
As with everything, the poison is in the dose.
Caffeine is an amazing drug, but be responsible with it.
What's your favorite benefit of drinking coffee? Longer life, better heart health, or something else?
