Why is coffee good for your health?
According to Dr. Leana Wen, an emergency physician and professor at George Washington University, the evidence is convincing: moderate coffee consumption is linked to a lower risk of developing certain chronic diseases.
Many studies confirm that moderate coffee consumption can:
Lower your risk of cardiovascular disease
Lower your risk of type 2 diabetes

Coffee contains antioxidants and anti-inflammatory compounds that strengthen your immune system and help protect your cells. Some of its components also improve insulin use and help stabilize blood sugar.
