Perk #3: Mineral Content

Coffee contains minerals such as magnesium and chromium. These minerals are essential in helping the body use the hormone insulin, which controls blood sugar.

This helps type 2 diabetics, because their bodies have lost the ability to use insulin and regulate blood sugar effectively.

Coffee has some tremendous benefits but like anything else in life should be used in moderation.
