Type II diabetes is a growing concern among Americans. Nearly 12 percent of American men older than 20 have the disease. Harvard researchers tracked coffee consumption and the link between type II diabetes over a 12-year period and found that long-term coffee drinkers had a significantly reduced risk of developing diabetes, and that risk decreased the more they drank.

Pain Buster

Caffeine has long been credited as a headache reliever, but it may help bust other types of pain, too. Coffee breaks may not just give you a mental break at work, according to a study by Norwegian BMC Research, which sought to determine if coffee consumption before computer-related office work would affect pain in the neck, shoulders and forearms. Their findings showed that coffee drinkers experienced significantly less pain while performing typical office tasks compared to non-coffee-drinkers.

Weight Loss

While coffee as a beverage has been shown to have a wide range of health benefits, green coffee extract can have an impact on your figure. Research has shown that, in a study of overweight adults, those participants who were given green coffee extract underwent significant weight loss -- with nearly 38 percent transitioning from being pre-obese to a normal weight range. If your goal is to trim down, consider adding a green coffee capsule to your daily dietary supplements or taking one before hitting the gym.
