5. Helping Your Heart Out
• “Coffee and green tea helps to lower your risk of having
a stroke”, Stroke: Journal of the American Heart
Association.
• The more green tea or coffee people drink, the lower
their stroke risks. The regular action of drinking green
tea and coffee, largely benefits cardiovascular health
because it partly keeps blood clots from forming.
• A compound group known as catechins have an
antioxidant anti-inflammatory effect, increasing plasma
antioxidant capacity and anti-thrombogenic (anti-clotting)
effects.
• Some chemicals in coffee include chlorogenic acid, thus
cutting stroke risks by lowering the chances of
developing type 2 diabetes.

6. Prevents Auto-Immune Liver Disease
• Regular coffee drinkers are at a reduced
risk of primary sclerosing cholangitis -
an autoimmune liver disease.
• PSC is an inflammatory disease of the
bile ducts that results in inflammation
and subsequent fibrosis that can lead
to cirrhosis of the liver, liver failure and
biliary cancer.
• According to research data, the coffee
consumption was associated with
reduced risk of PSC.

7. Reduces Risk of Suicide!
• The risk of suicide amongst adults, drinking
several cups of coffee on a daily basis, was lower
compared to those who drank very little coffee
or no coffee at all.
• Caffeine works by stimulating the central
nervous system but may act as a mild
antidepressant by increasing production of
certain ‘feel good’ neurotransmitters in the
brain, including serotonin, dopamine, and
noradrenaline.
• Having two to four cups of coffee every day can
reduce the risk of suicide among men and
women by 50 per cent.

8. Reduces Risk Of Liver Cancer
• A new study claims that drinking three cups
of coffee every day could keep liver cancer
at bay!
• Coffee consumption reduces the risk of
hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), the most
common type of liver cancer, by about 40%.
The favourable effect of coffee on liver
cancer might be mediated by coffee’s
proven prevention of diabetes, a known risk
factor for the disease, or for its beneficial
effects on cirrhosis and liver enzymes.

9. Valuable Resource Of Anti-Oxidants
• According to the new report in the American Chemical Society’s Journal of
Agricultural and Food Chemistry by Maria-Paz de Pena, used coffee grounds are a
rich source of healthful antioxidant substances sought after by both the food and
pharmaceutical industry.
• These useful bioactive compounds were analysed by ‘high-performance liquid
chromatography’. They found that the main bioactive compounds – caffeoylquinic
acids, caffeine and browned compounds, including melanoidins – in the spent
coffee grounds were actually four-to-seven-fold higher than in the coffee brew
itself.
• According to their report, the residues generated during the coffee brewing
procedure can, therefore, be considered a new source of natural antioxidants and
bioactive compounds.
• The report said the bioactive compounds can be easily extracted with water and,
after extraction the final residue could still be used in agriculture as fertiliser
because it is practically caffeine-free.

10. Saves You From Prostate and Womb Cancer
• A study by Harvard University says that
women who drink four to six cups of coffee
a day are less likely to suffer from womb
cancer, while men who drink the same
amount are less likely to suffer from
prostate cancer.
• Regular coffee drinkers also appeared to
have a lower risk of Type-2 diabetes,
gallstones, colon cancer and even
Parkinson’s disease.
• Coffee may have a beneficial effect on
insulin levels. The drink can improve
glucose processing and has anti-inflammatory
and antioxidant effects, all of
which play roles in cancer progression.

11. Could Help Prevent Diabetes
• According to researchers at UCLA coffee
increases plasma levels of a protein
called SHBG which regulates the levels
of the sex hormones testosterone and
estrogen which in turn have a role in
development of type 2 diabetes.
• Moderate consumption of coffee can
help stave the diabetes risk although
earlier there were some researches
which were ambiguous about its effect
on other diseases like cancer.
