Rejoice! Coffee Is So Stinkin’ Good For You!
"If you’re sipping a cup of
coffee while reading this post, give yourself a pat on the back. A new
review of 176 studies, which go back 100 years, found that coffee, tea
and cocoa—three plant-based sources of caffeine—are chock full of good-for-you compounds
that may work together to give you turbo-charged health boost.
The
review aimed to tease out what science does and doesn’t know about the
effects of these three substances on your body and brain. It documents
a laundry list of compounds—phytochemicals, polypheonols, et al—that
may work in concert with caffeine to give you major health benefits.
Meaning? Next time you need a pick-me-up, your best health bet is
reaching for a cup of coffee or tea, rather than popping caffeine pills
(but I’m sure you already knew that, right?). Runner’s World has more."
