"Fight Inflammation with Coffee and Avoid These Common Foods, Say Experts"

Adding milk to coffee can enhance the anti-inflammatory benefits of coffee due to the binding of polyphenols and proteins. Polyphenols act as antioxidants, combating free radicals and protecting against cellular damage caused by inflammation. The study found that cells exposed to coffee with milk were twice as effective at fighting inflammation compared to cells exposed to polyphenols alone. Consuming a diet rich in polyphenols, along with other lifestyle factors like exercise and stress management, can help reduce inflammation and lower the risk of degenerative diseases. However, the study was conducted on cells and not on humans, so further research is needed.
