The number decread by 35 percent when people drank more than six cups per day. And if you’re picturing yourlf running around the office with your eyes bugging out of your head, no worries becau caffeinated and decaffeinated coffees provided much the same results.2. Coffee Fights Free Radicals (自由基)We often forget that coffee is actually a plant and like all plant foods, the coffee bean contains more than 1,000 naturally occurring substances called phytochemicals, which may help prevent dia. Many of the phytochemicals are antioxidants which protect the cells from damage from free radicals.3.

Coffee can also improve cognitive function as we age. One study found that combining coffee with a sweet treat had an even bigger impact.4.

According to The Diet Channel, about five milligrams of calcium is lost per every six ounces of coffee consumed. But the calcium loss can be counter balanced with two tablespoons of milk or yogurt per cup of coffee.5.

So when you’re drinking that morning cup or two, make sure that you’re pairing it with water. Even better, add one tablespoon of chia eds to your water and let them sit for 30 minutes. The chia eds keep you even more hydrated than regular water.6.

Conventional Coffee Is Laden with Pesticides (杀虫剂)The coffee plant is one of the most heavily sprayed crops. It’s coated with chemicals, pesticides, and herbicides, nothing you’d want to be swallowing. If you do drink coffee, make sure that it’s the organic variety, free from assorted chemicals that leech into our ground water and can make us sick down the road.If you switch to decaffeinated coffee, make sure the caffeine (咖啡因) is removed in a natural way without the u of chemicals to do it.
