Coffee Good for Your Health

Coffee Benefits, Health Benefits Cofee, Coffee's Health Benefits:Though drinking coffee excessively can increase levels of the stress hormone cortisol and foster a dependence on caffeine, here are ten areas where coffee consumption just might be beneficial if you limit the cream and sugar.

* Caffeine aids stimulation of the production of adrenaline and cortisone. Essentialy, it doubles up your body’s fight-or-flight reaction. Unholy as it may sound, decaf (coffee from which caffeine has been separated) is said to contain double the health benefits of coffee such as decreasing cardiovascular diseases, cancer and type 2 diabetes risks.

* Another great coffee benefit is that it doesn’t add to your calorie intake till the time you don’t add extra servings of sugar in it, or cream. 5 ounce of coffee contains just 6 calories and a teaspoon of sugar is likely to add 23 to 27 calories. So, if you’re piling on the pounds, don’t blame the coffee, blame the sugar you take with it. Another coffee plus point is its positive effect on people with low blood pressure as it raises blood pressure levels instantly.
