Some scientists at Stanford University found that as we get older, one of the biggest things that affects our health is inflammation. It brings on the effects of aging, it hurts our overall health, and it can lead to things like Alzheimer's, heart attacks, and hypertension.
But the chemical compounds in coffee help protect against inflammation. So if you drink a few cups a day, it really can make a huge difference in your health, especially as you get older.
