Did you know that coffee can actually do a lot more than simply give you a boost in the morning? Coffee is a powerful source of antioxidants that are far more than what is present in green tea or red wine. Antioxidants are present from both caffeinated and decaffeinated coffee as long as the beans are sufficiently roasted. It combats cancer-causing free radicals and helps the body in fighting and absorbing it. Free radicals are cause behind cell damage which results in sagging of skin, wrinkles and ultimately aging.
Coffee is a stimulant and also a laxative. Some alternative practitioners even prescribe coffee enemas to stimulate the lower colon. Studies have also shown that regular coffee drinkers frequently score significantly higher on cognitive ability tests, spatial awareness exams, IQ tests, and short term memory studies.
Everything should be practiced in moderation, and health concerns should always be discussed with a medical professional. While a moderate amount of coffee has its benefit, an excessive amount can also cause problems. Heavy coffee drinking can lead to irritability, anxiety, sleep deprivation, cardiovascular problems and higher cholesterol levels.
