Drinking coffee may reduce diabetes


Chinese researchers have found that certain compounds in coffee including caffeine inhibit the formation and accumulation of a protein linked with an increased risk of type 2 diabetes ( the most common). Moreover, for those who like decaffeinated coffee, the benefits are equal, according to researchers, as there are many bioactive compounds in it. However, more studies are needed to prove the link.

In conclusion: drinking coffee might help in reducing one's risk of diabetes but exercising and maintaining a healthy weight continue to be the best preventive measures.
