Coffee, Coffee, Coffee

So if you are anything like me.. Your morning typically starts off with a cup of coffee. Helps get me going throughout the day and gives me that instant boost of energy!
Now after reading an article in SHAPE magazine I wanted to share a few facts about this thing we call Coffee.... 
COFFEE IS THE NEW BUZZZ 
Dont feel guilty anymore about going back for another cup of coffee, Research has linked coffee to a reduced risk of various conditions... including strokes, diabetes and the perks just continue on...


SKIN CANCER: Coffee is loaded with inflammation fighting antioxidants... People who consume more than three cups of coffee per day are 20 percent less likely to develop basal cell carcinoma which is (THE MOST COMMON SKIN CANCER)...


DEPRESSION: Caffeine is a central nervous system stimulant, which makes people feel better and more energized through out the day. Studies state that people who consume 4 cups of coffee a day were less likely to become depressed over a 10 year period.


ALZHEIMERS DISEASE: The magic ingredient appears to be a compound that works in concert with caffeine to help produce new brain cells. Studies found that people who had 3 to 5 cups of coffee a day in their 40s and 50s were 65% less likely to get Alzheimers in their 60s and 70s than those who drank 2 cups or less daily.


SOo0o0o0o0o drink up :)
