Coffee is surprisingly beneficial for your health in more ways than one. It contains polyphenols (powerful antioxidants that ward off disease in the body), can improve your gut health, and even helps you live longer.

Although the connecting reason between the two is still unclear, some researchers think caffeine can block a hormone that keeps the arteries widened, resulting in higher numbers.
