" Reader Question: I love to have coffee every morning. Is this bad for my health? Surprise: It may actually be good for you! A new study published in the Annals of Internal Medicine found that habitual coffee drinkers have a slightly lower risk of heart disease. Drinking decaf didn&amp;#039;t diminish the effect, so researchers think that there&amp;#039;s something in the coffee bean itself (not the caffeine) that&amp;#039;s protective. Coffee beans contain antioxidants that may reduce inflammation and improve blood vessel function. They also contain substances like magnesium, which may improve insulin sensitivity and help stave off diabetes. Just don&amp;#039;t get carried away: In one study, men who drank six cups or more a day almost doubled their risk for heart disease. Stick to one to three cups and you should be fine.
