Here’s a rundown of what you’ll get from your daily caffeine shot.(Make it black and filtered! Avoid milk, cream and sugar, research confirms they block the benefits.)
Drinking three or more cups a day slashes the risk of basal cell carcinoma, the most common form of skin cancer, by 40 per cent. Other cancers caffeine protects against: breast, the most lethal form of prostate, liver and endometrial . Caffeine –laced water (but not energy drinks), tea and chocolate protect , too.
Four cups a day reduces your risk for type 2 diabetes and protects you from developing Alz-heimer’s disease.
Caffeine also has been shown to boost muscle power and endurance.
You can cut your risk of heart failure by 11 per cent with four cups a day.
Good news for decaf drinkers: A large study from 1995 to 2008 found that three cups a day of either decaf or regular lowered the risk of dying from heart disease, respiratory disease, stroke , injuries and accidents , diabetes and infections.
