Anyway, back to the coffee…

Reduced Risk of Type 2 Diabetes
In a recent study from the Harvard School of Public Health, men and women who upped their daily coffee intake lowered their risk of Type 2 diabetes by 11 percent in just four years. Meanwhile, those who decreased their coffee intake by more than a cup per day increased their risk by 17 percent. Coffee may also hit Type 2 diabetes by reducing the risk of cardiovascular disease. While the exact mechanism is not known, chlorogenic acid (an antioxidant) and magnesium’s influence on metabolic pathways, glucose metabolism and inflammation may play a role.

Faster Weight Loss
Researchers can’t agree on coffee’s effects on weight loss. Compounds such as chlorogenic acid and quinides in coffee may potentially aid in weight loss, excessive intake has been linked with weight gain. Either way, if you don’t load your coffee with cream and sugar, coffee can be a healthy part of a calorie-controlled diet. After all, an 8-ounce cup of black coffee contains a single calorie. How coffee really makes a dent in the scale is by increasing your exercise performance. It’s believed that caffeine intake fuels exercise performance and can result in longer, harder workouts.

Improved Cognitive Function
You probably drink it to wake up and get focused but, over the long term, coffee may prevent the formation of amyloid plaques and neurofibrillary tangles, buildups of protein in the brain. Coffee is rich in free radical-scavenging antioxidants, which are believed to reduce inflammation and decrease the deterioration of brain cells throughout the aging process. In adults over 65 who are showing signs of memory problems, drinking three cups of coffee a day may delay the onset of Alzheimer’s disease by up to four years, according to the Journal of Alzheimer’s Disease.

Better Kidney and Liver Health
Frequent post-coffee trips to the bathroom make one thing clear: Coffee has huge effects on your gastrointestinal and urinary tract. But they aren’t all inconvenient. By increasing urinary flow, caffeine decreases the potential for deposits to linger and form kidney stones. One 2014 study found that people who consumed caffeine had lower risks of kidney stones. And in one 2014 Hepatology study showed that people who drank three cups a day were about 25% less likely to have abnormal liver enzyme levels compared to people who didn’t run on coffee.

A Smaller Risk of Cancer
Research is increasingly linking consumption of coffee to a reduction in certain types of cancer. In men, drinking four or more cups of coffee per day is linked with a 59 percent reduced risk of prostate cancer. And a 2011 study found that women who drink five or more cups of coffee a day are 57 percent less likely to develop oestrogen receptor-negative breast cancer compared to women don’t drink coffee. The connection may go back to antioxidants. Researchers behind the prostate-cancer study note that diterpenes cafestol and kahweol, fat-soluble compounds in coffee, may inhibit cancer growth.

Enhanced Sexual Health
Many sexual woes, including erectile dysfunction and decreased vaginal lubrication are a matter of blood not getting where it needs to be. Could it be that coffee is the answer? It may improve sexual health. For example, a 2015 study shows that men who consumed two to three coffee cups’ worth of caffeine per day had the lowest incidence of ED. Meanwhile, caffeine may also get women in the mood. In a 2005 animal study researchers found that coffee intake stimulated the parts of female mouse brains that signal sexual arousal.
