Although coffee seems like it’s not made up of much, it is loaded with antioxidants and nutrients (1, 2, 3, 4).

Coffee has been linked with improved mental and physical performance and increased metabolism (5, 6, 7).

Drinking coffee regularly has also been associated with a decreased risk of neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s as well as dementia (8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13).

Coffee can benefit your physical health too.

Drinking coffee can reduce your chances of developing type 2 diabetes, improve the health of your arteries and decrease your risk of liver cancer (14, 15, 16, 17).

However, even though people who drink coffee may have a longer life expectancy, coffee does contain acrylamide, a chemical that has been associated with detrimental health effects (18, 19).
