I Gave Up Coffee For A Week – The Side-Effects Were Alarming

Not only does coffee not dehydrate you, but it could also improve your heart health and has been linked to ageing and longevity benefits for women. 

It’s even been linked with heart and gut benefits, and may play a role in reducing mouth cancer risk.

In moderation, and ideally when drunk in the morning, in moderate amounts (roughly three cups a day or less), and without any cream or sugar, it seems my beloved cup of Java really might be beneficial.
