A cup of coffee in the morning not only invigorates, but can also be good for health. The caffeine contained in the drink is believed to have the ability to reduce the risk of certain diseases.

Kidney stones

A study involving 217,000 participants analyzed the relationship between coffee consumption and the risk of developing kidney stones. Preliminary results showed that it was lower in those who regularly drank this drink. Scientists plan to conduct additional studies to confirm this relationship.

Cancer

There is an assumption that caffeine affects the risk of mouth and throat cancer. In a study involving more than 900,000 people, participants drank four or more cups of coffee a day. “They had a 49% lower risk of death from oral cancer compared to those who did not drink or drank occasionally. Also, the effect of caffeine is associated with a decrease in the frequency of recurrence of breast and prostate cancer and a lower risk of endometrial cancer,” the publication writes.

Type 2 diabetes

One long-term study found that increasing coffee consumption by more than one cup a day over four years could reduce the risk of type 2 diabetes by one percent. Until the reasons for such an effect are fully clarified, scientists are conducting new experiments.

Stroke

In Sweden, studies of more than 34,000 women who did not suffering from cardiovascular diseases, showed that their risk of stroke was 22-25% lower if they drank more than one cup of coffee a day.

Despite the fact that many studies suggest the health benefits of coffee yes, it can also have a harmful effect on the body. Caffeine dependence is a recognized problem that can lead to withdrawal syndrome. Also, this substance can be associated with such conditions as insomnia and depression.
