\nYour brew gives you benefits beyond an energy boost. Here are the top ways coffee can positively impact your health:<\/p>\n
\nRecent studies found that coffee drinkers are less likely to die from some of the leading causes of death in women: coronary heart disease, stroke, diabetes and kidney disease.<\/p>\n
\nThat\u2019s the theory behind studies that found that people who drink more coffee are less likely to get type 2 diabetes.<\/p>\n
\nDrinking one to two cups of coffee a day may help ward off heart failure, when a weakened heart has difficulty pumping enough blood to the body.<\/p>\n
\nCaffeine is not only linked to a lower chance of developing Parkinson\u2019s disease, but it may also help those with the condition better control their movements.<\/p>\n
\nBoth regular and decaf coffee seem to have a protective effect on your liver. Research shows that coffee drinkers are more likely to have liver enzyme levels within a healthy range than people who don\u2019t drink coffee.<\/p>\n
\nDark roast coffee decreases breakage in DNA strands, which occur naturally but can lead to cancer or tumors if not repaired by your cells.<\/p>\n
\nOne in 23 women develop colon cancer. But researchers found that coffee drinkers \u2014 decaf or regular \u2014 were 26 percent less likely to develop colorectal cancer.<\/p>\n
\nAlmost two-thirds of Americans living with Alzheimer\u2019s disease are women. But the caffeine in two cups of coffee may provide significant protection against developing the condition. In fact, researchers found that women age 65 and older who drank two to three cups of coffee a day were less likely to develop dementia in general.<\/p>\n
\nFor women, drinking at least one cup of coffee a day is associated with lowered stroke risk, which is the fourth leading cause of female deaths.<\/p>\n
