I strongly believe coffee is more healthier than beer even though there might be some group of people who may love the consumption of beer but that doesn't makes beer more healthier than coffee. Beers are usually surrogates for alcoholic drinks and this is why most religious scholars and some health practitioners are against the drinking of beer because when it is drank excessively, it can lead to psychological effects.

Let's check some important health benefits of coffee so as to make you know how much healthier coffee is when compared to beer. Research conducted by caffeine-informer has made us know the below health benefits of coffee.

- INCREASES YOUR FIBER INTAKE :

A cup of brewed coffee represents a contribution of up to 1.8 grams of fiber of the recommended intake of 20-38 grams. From the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry.

-PROTECTION AGAINST CIRRHOSIS OF THE LIVER :

Of course, you could just cut down on the alcohol intake. From the Archives of Internal Medicine (link). Another more recent study also showed coffee’s liver protecting benefits. Yet another study showed that both coffee and decaffeinated coffee lowered the liver enzyme levels of coffee drinkers. This study was published in the Hepatology Journal.

- LOWERS RISK OF TYPE 2 DIABETES :

Those who consumed 6 or more cups per day had a 22% lower risk of diabetes. From the Archives of Internal Medicine . A recent review of research conducted by Harvard’s Dr. Frank Hu showed that the risk of type II diabetes decreases by 9% for each daily cup of coffee consumed. Decaf coffee decreased risk by 6% per cup.

-LOWERS RISK OF ALZHEIMER’S DISEASE

There is considerable evidence that caffeine may protect against Alzheimer’s disease. From the European Journal of Neurology. A recent study also isolated the compounds in roasted coffee that may be responsible for preventing the build-up of the brain plaque believed to cause the disease.

- PROTECTION AGAINST PARKINSON’S

People with Parkinson’s disease are less likely to be smokers and coffee drinkers than their healthy siblings. Just make sure you don’t get lung cancer on the way. From the Archives of Neurology . Even newer research out of Sweden revealed that drinking coffee reduces the risk of Parkinson’s even when genetic factors come into play. link. Yet another study found that caffeine combined with EHT (a compound found in coffee beans) provided protective benefits to rats that were genetically predisposed to developing Parkinson’s.

-COFFEE DRINKERS HAVE STRONGER DNA: A study published in the European Journal of Nutrition showed that coffee drinkers have DNA with stronger integrity since the white blood cells of coffee drinkers had far less instance of spontaneous DNA strand breakage.
