There are many good reasons to enjoy a good cup of coffee: it
helps wake you up, it keeps you going through a long day at work, and even provides
good wellness benefits. Health Briefs learns that there are more good reasons to
enjoy that cup of joe.
Coffee and its antioxidants are well-known to reduce the
risk of developing Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's
disease, diabetes, depression, liver disease and early death. Now, the results of a new study are published
from the Journal of the National Cancer Institute showing coffee can lower the
risk of certain skin cancers. The study focused on 447,000 non-Hispanic whites
who were at a higher risk of skin cancer. Results from the research found that
those who drank four or more cups of coffee per had a 20% lower risk of
developing malignant melanoma than those who drank less coffee. Health Briefs TV also learns that decaf coffee had no effect on lowering the risk. There have been many reports from respected researchers
on the overall good health benefits of java. Add this as one more positive
reason to head for the coffee maker, coffee urn, or coffee shop. Kick up the flavor without adding to fat and
calories by adding a scant teaspoon of cocoa powder in your cup or mug. Mix
well and enjoy. Cocoa
