"Researchers over at Stanford University just dropped some findings from their animal studies suggesting that coffee might actually give a woman's libido a boost.
(...) The science nerds are chalking it up to caffeine stimulating specific parts of the brain tied directly to arousal.
Now, looking back at the literature, coffee has been linked to better memory and lower cancer risks, though it does seem to bump up the chances of heart disease.
Since they used animals that had never even touched caffeine before, the researchers think this libido perk might specifically apply to women who don't typically drink coffee.

So, great for fighting cancer, bad for the ticker. Honestly, I don't think one cup a day is doing much damage to the heart—assuming you're okay with the whole libido side effect thing, lol.

It’s actually quite effective for managing diabetes, too. Which, honestly, works out perfectly for me.

Honestly, at the rate I’m going with my drinks, I’ll probably have to be 148 years old before I kick the bucket 😵 🙂 🙂

"There's this massive misconception that coffee just spikes your blood pressure, which isn't exactly the full story. Sure, you might see a little jump at first, but that's just a temporary blip. Once that initial surge settles down, your blood pressure actually tends to dip lower than where it started. So, if you look at the big picture, you could argue coffee actually helps lower blood pressure."
"The heavy hitter here is caffeine, the star of the show. It gets absorbed straight into your bloodstream and hangs out there for about four hours. Caffeine basically gives your central nervous system—your brain, for those keeping track—a kick in the pants, boosting your alertness, focus, and mood. You're looking at roughly 100 to 150 milligrams per average cup."
