Prevention is always better than cure, which is why healthcare professionals all around the world take a month to focus their attention to spread awareness on the need to address the growing concern of the epidemic of Diabetes. According to International Diabetes Federation, there were over 3,721,900 cases of diabetes in the Philippines reported in 2017. These numbers are expected to rise.

It’s always important to keep your health in check. Even the smallest step towards a healthy lifestyle can do so much, such as swapping your daily dose of instant coffee to brewed.

Did you know that drinking a cup of freshly brewed coffee a day can help decrease the risk of developing type 2 diabetes? A 2014 research published in the European Journal of Nutrition found that for every 2 cups of coffee consumed per day, the risk for type 2 diabetes decreased by 12%.

While we would like to give Caffeine the credit, a recent study published in the ACS Journal of Natural Products identified two bioactive components responsible: Cafestol and Caffeic acid. Scientists discovered that Cafestol and caffeic acid increased insulin secretion when glucose was added. Cafestol was found to also increase glucose uptake in muscle cells that matched the levels of a certain antidiabetic drug.

Take small steps to prevent diabetes like sipping your daily cup of coffee. But as they say, too much of something can’t always be good so remember, drink your coffee to your heart’s desire but always moderately.
