Coffee also is a great way to kill a headache. Studies have shown that a cup of coffee works on a headache faster than ibuprofen (although the relief only lasts about an hour so for someone with a really bad headache it's worth doing both)

Coffee might also help
fight diabetes.
I drink 1 to 2 liters of tea a day at work. I have my own tea bags and loose teas, including herbs and flowers like jasmine, rose hips, lavender, etc. This gets me off the hook for having to make a pot of coffee by taking almost the last cup from the pot, although we have people here who will leave a thin film of coffee at the bottom of a pot and walk away.
I drink maybe 2 or 3 cups of coffee
a year. Tea has many benefits, but I don't know if it affects diabetes.
