Do you like to take 1 or 2 coffees a day? Love chocolate? Well that´s all good for you! Foods with caffeine such as coffee, chocolate and tea, have high levels of polyphenols, which are a super antioxidant by its ability to fight against cancer and against depression. A study of Harvard University argues that drinking five cups of coffee daily reduces by 50% the risk of developing diabetes.
However, too much coffee can cause nervousness, so most experts recommend limiting intake to 2 cups a day, or switch to decaf. Either tea or coffee, studies have shown that decaffeinated contains as many antioxidants as normal. And of course, dark chocolate is better than white or milk chocolate.
