A cup of coffee in the morning may pack more than just an energy boost


A cup of coffee in the morning may pack more than just an energy boost
More and more research is emerging to suggest that there may be several health benefits associated with drinking this dark black beverage, from helping prevent diabetes to lowering the risk of liver disease.

The consumption of coffee goes back centuries.
In 17th century England the popularity of the drink gave rise to a number of coffee houses which were dubbed 'penny universities', because with one penny a person could buy a cup of coffee and have intellectually stimulating conversations with other people.

Nowadays, with over 400 billion cups consumed every year, coffee is one of the world's most popular drinks. But what makes it special?

The potential health benefits associated with drinking coffee include: protecting against type 2 diabetes, Parkinson's disease, liver disease, liver cancer, and promoting a healthy heart.

  2. Why do I feel so drawn to its aroma and caffeinated alur at such a late hour?  If they could one day invent the ultimate coffee bean; one to keep me up and running through the wee hours of the night, everything would be perfect! Lolz
