A study details the beneficial effects of coffee consumption on disease prevention. Below are all the details.
It is often said that drinking coffee is a bad habit and that it should be avoided. However, a study published in Science Direct, a scientific publications website, reports the beneficial effects of moderate coffee consumption. According to this study, it would help in the prevention of prediabetes and type 2 diabetes.
Research indicates that those who consume coffee daily have a lower risk of developing these metabolic conditions compared to those who do not. The research was carried out with a group of 1878 adults, both men and women, between 20 and 70 years old for a period of more than 5 years. The results revealed a significant association between coffee consumption and a lower incidence of prediabetes and type 2 diabetes.

The benefits of drinking coffee, according to science
Chlorogenic acid
Some components of coffee, such as chlorogenic acid, can mitigate the negative effects of caffeine on the cardiovascular system. Although the nutritionists in the study emphasize that for it to be beneficial it must be taken in moderation.
Fight premature aging
Being rich in antioxidants, coffee fights aging. Antioxidants protect the body from cell degeneration damage produced by molecules called free radicals.
It is a source of positive energy
Caffeine stimulates the transmission of nervous impulses, improves alertness, increases short-term memory, coordination and the ability to concentrate.
Improves asthma symptoms
By dilating the bronchi, good coffee helps combat asthma attacks and other common allergies. Caffeine is composed of substances chemically similar to theophylline, a common compound in medications indicated to cure asthma.
