According to a meta-analysis, consumption of 1-6 cups of coffee a day reduces the risk of stroke by 17%.
Various studies show that coffee improves glucose metabolism when consumed regularly. It shows that it has a positive effect on insulin secretion and significantly reduces the occurrence of diabetes.

Coffee, which has both short-term and long-term benefits on our cognitive functions, slows down dementia and is neuroprotective in Parkinson's disease. It is known to reduce the speed with its effect.
A study showing that coffee has a protective role for mental health and depression has shown that those who consume 4 cups or more per day develop 20% less depression than those who consume 1 cup per week.

Coffee, which slows down the progression of Hepatitis C and Alcoholic Cirrhosis and reduces the risk of Hepatocellular Carcinoma, also has the effect of Non-Alcoholic Fatty Carcinoma. It has also been found to have effects in preventing the progression to cirrhosis in lung disease or reducing the occurrence of this disease (NAFLD).
In another study, it has also been found to relieve dry eye syndrome, reduce the risk of gout disease, and for an unknown reason, reduce the risk of MRSA infection.
Saying that every good thing has a price, they also looked at the health problems that come with coffee and found increased blood pressure, anxiety, insomnia, tremors and increased risk of glaucoma to be significant risks. Let me also point out that 100 cups of coffee a day is fatal.
