Did you know that a daily dose of coffee can actually benefit your health? While a lot of people reach for a bowl of fruit in the mornings, others tend to reach for a coffee cup. Ironically, both instances are doing the same thing—yes! Coffee is a fruit. And while it’s not eaten in the traditional way, it still has health benefits that you can add to your checklist for New Year Resolutions.

The University of Southern California research team stated that those who drink a lot of coffee tend to have a lower risk of death.
Reduced Risk of Heart Disease
Studies have also proven that drinking 3-5 cups of coffee a day reduces the chance of heart disease.
