The benefits of a cup of coffee a day

Raw coffee contains about 9% chlorogenic acid, a highly effective phenolic natural antioxidant that can effectively prevent retinal degeneration. The retina is the most active metabolic tissue in the body. it is a thin layer of tissue composed of many photosensitive and nerve cells in the posterior wall of the eyeball. Lack of oxygen and the production of free radicals in the body can cause retinal damage.

In animal experiments, the amount of CLA used is similar to that of humans drinking 1 cup of coffee a day, indicating that drinking coffee regularly can effectively reduce the risk of retinal damage. At the same time, drinking coffee can also help prevent vision degradation and the risk of blindness caused by various causes.

A new study by the Korean Academy of Science and Technology published in the American Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry also found that drinking three or more cups of coffee a day can reduce the risk of type 2 diabetes by more than 37%. Previously, the study found that drinking four cups of coffee a day reduced the risk of liver cancer by 42 percent. Another study found that drinking two or more cups of coffee a day reduced the risk of liver cirrhosis by 66%. Drinking coffee also helps to prevent Parkinson's disease and liver disease.
