Coffee: 10 Benefits of Coffee
Coffee Benefit #3: Antioxidants
Coffee is high in antioxidants, B vitamins and minerals such as magnesium, potassium, chromium and manganese. Although they are available in trace amounts, research suggests that drinking three cups per day adds up to a significant amount. A single cup of coffee provides 11% of the recommended amount of vitamin B2, 6% of vitamin B5, 3% of manganese and potassium, and 2% of magnesium and niacin.
Organic, filtered coffee will likely provide the maximum nutritional benefits. The cheaper brands have rancid oils and degraded beans, leaving a unpleasant smell and lack of flavor. Stale or strong coffee may have gone rancid or may have been sprayed with pesticides. That is why it is important to try organic coffee.
