Daily Dose - Coffee

Coffee is definitely a vice for many people and over the years, people have heard news change about whether or not coffee is actually good for you.  I choose to drink coffee every morning and when I have a hectic schedule I often make a pot of decaf at night. I do exercise caution about my quantity of coffee because caffeine does give me heart palpitations if I overindulge.

Here are a few of the benefits of coffee:

-reduced chances of developing Parkinson’s Disease

-reduced risk of diabetes

-reduced heart and liver problems

-helpful for asthmatics

-high levels of antioxidants

-mental clarity boost

-can increase an athlete’s performance

Coffee does have some negative results as well but today, we’ll choose to just acknowledge the fact that there are some great health benefits of coffee and in limited quantities can be something we’re able to indulge in unless our doctor has said otherwise.
