Coffee has never carried the label of health food– until now. Coffee contains several beneficial antioxidants that protect vital cell membranes and DNA and slow the aging process. Antioxidants help fight free radicals that are produced naturally during metabolism. Free radicals are like biological rust eating away at your tissues, while antioxidants prevent the damage.
Norwegian researches found that coffee provides more antioxidants to the body than do fruits, tea, wine, cereal or vegetables. Considering the entire diet, people who consumed the greatest amounts of coffee, wine and vegetables had the greatest amounts of whole body antioxidants. Coffee drinkers can hold their heads high because their beloved beverage has been elevated to the status of health food.
