cup of coffee during the day to

you may want to grab a bottle
of water instead. Research in-
dicates that lack of water is the
No. 1 trigger of daytime fa-

drinking adequate supplies
of water keep you refreshed,
it can also help to keep you
more awake - even during a

A Cup a Day Keeps the
Doctor Away?
The debate over whether
coffee is good or bad for your
health will continue to rage

a cup of Joe actually may have
some health bene?ts for many
people. Compared to non-cof-
fee drinkers, coffee drinkers
could be less likely to develop
type 2 diabetes, Parkinson’s
disease and dementia. They
also may have fewer cases of
certain cancers, heart rhythm
problems and stroke, accord-
