The health benefits of drinking six coffees a day

If you’re the sort of person who cannot face the day without first having a strong cup of coffee to fortify yourself then this blogpost will undoubtedly put a smile on your face. Coffee is widely known to have health giving properties, but did you know that the more you drink the health giving effects are directed towards certain conditions and you could possibly see improvements if you suffer from a range of medical concerns. But please if you’re in any doubt first contact a medical professional before drinking too much coffee.

Six cups of coffee a day may seem excessive to some but plenty of people worldwide still drink this number, and they could possibly be doing good for their joints in preventing the worst effects of gout. Gout is caused by a build up of a waste product called uric acid in the joints. In men the chances of developing gout was 59 per cent lower for those who drank large quantities of coffee than in men who didn’t. Even for those who drank four cups daily there was a 40 per cent lower risk. Similar results were found in women.
