We drink it all day, every day, so wouldn't it be nice to know that our daily cup of coffee actually was healthy? There are correlations between coffee drinking and several health benefits, which means that it's possible that drinking coffee is good for you! So next time you're wondering whether or not you should spring for another cup of coffee, go ahead and treat yourself. After all, it's for your health ;)
Here are several health benefits correlated with drinking coffee:
