You love the flavor & the experience of drinking coffee. Maybe it’s good for you too?

In this episode of the Throttle & Roast podcast, the potential health benefits of drinking coffee are discussed. We learn that coffee contains antioxidants and active substances that can reduce inflammation and protect against diseases. Studies have shown that coffee drinkers are less likely to die from coronary heart disease, stroke, diabetes, and kidney disease. Furthermore, regular coffee consumption has been linked to a reduced risk of developing diabetes, heart failure, certain cancers, Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's, depression, and strokes. There are also indications that coffee may aid in effective sugar processing and reduce the likelihood of cognitive decline. These findings suggest that drinking coffee in moderation may have positive impacts on overall health.

Of course, riding a motorcycle is also good for you.
