Why is good to drink coffee ?
Do you like coffee? I do, it's taste and aroma make my mornings so much better!
Coffee has a long history of being blamed for many ills. But some recent research indicates that coffee may not be so bad after all.
I decided to do my own little research and noted 10 benefits of coffee drinking. Here is what I have found:
1 Antioxidant content
Coffee is a rich source of antioxidants like chlorogenic acid and melanoidins. Melanoidins from roasted coffee show strong antioxidative effects depending on the way the coffee is treatedResearchers found that a typical serving of coffee contains more antioxidants than typical servings of grape juice, blueberries, raspberries and oranges.
2 Diabetes
Coffee consumption is potentially protective against the development of type 2 diabetes. A prospective cohort study as part of the US Nurses Health Study found that moderate consumption of both caffeinated and decaffeinated coffee may lower the risk of type 2 diabetes in younger and middle aged women. The finding that higher consumption of decaffeinated coffee was associated with a lower risk of type 2 diabetes suggests that the protective effect could not be attributed exclusively to caffeine, but rather that it should be explained by other components, most probably chlorogenic acid and various antioxidants.

8 Work performance
Caffeine is a well-known stimulant. Many studies demonstrate the beneficial effects of caffeine in coffee on alertness, attentiveness, and wakefulness. The cup of coffee can increase information processing. 9 Asthma
There is some evidence that coffee may help manage asthma and even control attacks when medication is unavailable. Caffeine in coffee is related to theophylline, an old asthma medication. Caffeine can open airways and improve asthma symptoms. 10 Alzheimer's disease
Several studies comparing moderate coffee drinkers (about 2 cups a day) with light coffee drinkers (less than one cup a day) found that those who drank more coffee were significantly less likely to develop Alzheimer's disease later in life. Explore related pages
