Go ahead, have your morning cup of caffeinated coffee (no decaf!)<\/strong>. And then have three more.<\/p>

A recent 10-year study published in\u00a0JNCI: Journal of the National Cancer Institute<\/em>\u00a0shows that four cups of the popular beverage every day can\u00a0reduce the risk of contracting skin cancer<\/strong>. Among the 450,000 participants, those\u00a0who consume coffee<\/a> are 20% less likely to develop malignant melanoma - a common type of skin cancer.\u00a0In<\/a> Singapore<\/a>, skin cancer is the sixth most common\u00a0type <\/a>in both genders, with\u00a0malignant melanoma being the most deadly.<\/p>

\"Our results, and some from other recent studies, should provide reassurance to coffee consumers that drinking coffee is not a risky thing to do<\/a>,\"<\/em> said study researcher,\u00a0Erikka Loftfield<\/strong>, a doctoral student at the Yale School of Public Health\u00a0as quoted from\u00a0Live Science.\u00a0<\/em>She goes on to add,\u00a0\"However, our results do not indicate that individuals should alter their coffee intake.\"<\/em><\/p>

Coffee as an Alzheimer-fighting agent<\/span> <\/h2>

According to a different\u00a0study<\/a>\u00a0by the Institute for Scientific Information on Coffee (ISIC), drinking three to five cups of coffee per day reduces the risk of developing\u00a0Alzheimer's Disease by 20%. The research suggests that the compound, polyphenol, usually found in fish, fruits and vegetables<\/a>, is crucial in maintaining cognitive processes. And you guessed it, coffee is chockfull of polyphenol.<\/p>

The beverage is also loaded with antioxidants, proving to be a more efficient source than fruits and veggies combined. It claims to fight depression and lower the risks of other diseases like Parkinson's and Type II Diabetes. Not to mention it burns more\u00a0fat as it increases your metabolism rate.<\/p>

From preventing cancer to increasing our metabolism, we now know coffee is more than just a beverage to keep us awake at work. How about we head off to the nearest coffee shop<\/a> and get our daily fix in?<\/p>
