A recent study suggests that coffee drinkers have a lower risk of developing type 2 diabetes.
Coffee contains antioxidants that may play a role in reducing inflammation and improving insulin sensitivity.
Caffeine might help regulate blood sugar levels by improving the body's insulin response.
Interestingly, even decaffeinated coffee was linked to a reduced risk, suggesting other compounds in coffee contribute.
Moderate daily consumption, around 3-4 cups, is associated with the most benefits.
Consistent coffee consumption may protect against diabetes over time, especially in individuals with a family history.
Aside from diabetes, coffee has been linked to better heart health, improved brain function, and a lower risk of certain cancers.
