- Drinking three to four cups of coffee daily is associated with about a 25% lower risk of developing Type 2 diabetes compared to non-coffee drinkers.
- Coffee consumption may lower the risk of Parkinson’s disease, potentially due to caffeine, and has been linked to increased physical activity, with a study noting participants walked more steps on days they consumed caffeinated coffee.
- The health benefits of coffee vary depending on individual factors such as the amount consumed and overall health status, highlighting the complexity of its effects.
