Numerous studies have reached a consensus: coffee is good for us! It’s true; brewing some fresh java every now and then can have a positive impact on your well being, and as the authors of the Coffee Lover’s Blog, we at Zaccardis.com couldn’t be happier to hear the news.

Why is coffee so beneficial to our health? According to Sandy Procter, a specialist in human nutrition at Kansas State University, it could be due to the beverage’s anti-inflammatory properties and wealth of antioxidants. “Coffee contains four times more antioxidants than green tea — and brewing adds 300 more antioxidants to the 1,000-plus found in green coffee beans,” she says. “Roasting those green coffee beans adds even more healthful benefits.”

In one study, researchers found that people who drank three to five cups of joe per day were two thirds less likely to develop various forms of dementia such as Alzheimer’s disease, and as noted in one of our blogs, coffee has also been found to lower the risk of stroke. Other studies have reported similar findings, including a staggering 80% reduction in cirrhosis of the liver.

Of course, this doesn’t mean that we should go overboard, and more research is needed in order to confirm these findings. However, things are certainly looking up, and that makes Zaccardis.com proud to support our fellow coffee lovers!
