Coffee can work wonders

Daily Times (Pakistan)

ISLAMABAD: Recent research has found that two to four cups of coffee a day can contribute to a reduced risk of inflammation and cardiovascular disease, due to its high antioxidant content, BBC Television reported.

A study of more than 27,000 post-menopausal women concluded that coffee’s antioxidant properties might well inhibit inflammation and, consequently, development of cardiovascular disease.
