Coffee: 10 Benefits of Coffee
Coffee Benefit #8: Fights Depression
Coffee is a stimulant, which allows you to function throughout the day with higher energy levels. Depression, a serious mental disorder found in up to 4% of Americans, can be helped by drinking coffee. One study suggests that women who drank 4 or more cups per day had a 20% lower risk of becoming depressed.
Another study with over 208,000 individuals found that those who drank 4 cups per day were 53% less likely to commit suicide. Overall, coffee seems to lower the risk of depression and dramatically reduce the risk of suicide.
