Independent research by scientists worldwide continues to link coffee to significant (and surprising) healthful properties. Coffee has a naturally complex botanical profile, with at least 1,000 natural compounds in the bean elated in the roasting process. Scientists have linked a number of them, including some strong antioxidants, with a host of physiological benefits. Research has shown that moderate coffee consumption (or 3-5 cups daily) may be associated with many positive effects, including:
Liver disease prevention
Improved cognitive function in older adults
Sharper memory
Increased athletic endurance
Reduced risk of type 2 diabetes
Longevity
Due to the increasing scientific evidence, coffee has earned a new and improved reputation.
