Coffee contains antioxidants — nutrients that help prevent tissue damage caused by molecules called oxygen-free radicals.

Coffee also contains minerals such as magnesium and chromium, which help the body use the hormone insulin, which controls blood sugar (glucose). In type 2 diabetes, the body loses its ability to use insulin and regulate blood sugar effectively.
