Recent medical research indicate that coffee plays an important role in supplying our bodies with antioxidants, which help neutralize the free radicals that cause what is collectively known as oxidative stress.
Oxidative stress has been suggested to cause premature ageing and degenerative diseases of the cardiovascular, immune and nervous systems.
So to keep our body healthy, we need additional antioxidants. Coffee, a beverage that most number of people consume everyday, contains an abundant supply of polyphenol.
This antioxidant is associated with lowering the risk of heart disease, diabetes, and Parkinson’s disease, among others.
Coffee, being the most convenient and accessible beverage for us, provides us with the most number of antioxidants daily. So boost your antioxidant levels by having another cup!
