1.It fights depression: A 2011's Harvard study revealed that women who drank 4 or more cups of coffee per day had 20% lower risk of becoming depressed. As per another research, those who drank 4 or more cups of coffee per day were 53% less likely to die by suicide. Hence, coffee is our knight in shining armour that lowers the risk of developing depression and dramatically reducing suicide risk.(Photo by Clay Banks on Unsplash)

2.Reduces chances of type 2 diabetes: An 18 studies review on 457,922 people revealed that each daily cup of coffee was associated with a 7% reduced risk of type 2 diabetes while another research showed 23–50% lower risk of getting type 2 diabetes. The highest reduction was recorded as 67% in some other studies.
