The Truth about Coffee: Caffeine has its Health Perks!



Good news for Caffeine addicts everywhere, if you can't give up the frap- well why not the frap keep it!

On the March-April issue of EatingWell Magazine, researchers are trumping the positive effects of coffee on the human body. Yeah, so we can all get jiggy with a few more shots of espresso.

Coffee has great antioxidant properties which keeps the average heart healthy. Coffee can stop the long term haul of  inflammation on the arteries.

Coffee can battle Diabetes Type 2 by regulating our blood sugar. Coffee drinkers who are into 4 or more cups each day may have lower risk of diabetes by boosting our insulin sensitivity. 

But that is not to say that Coffee doesn't have its downside, we all know how super jittery we can all get after a few cups. Or how our bodies develop a caffeine tolerance and disturb our sleep cycles.

But with these new findings on coffee, we can now enjoy our coffee cups, not just sugar-free, but guilt-free as well.
