"Research has shown that drinking two to three cups of coffee a day can reduce the risk of heart disease by around 20 per cent," an NHS spokeswoman said.
In addition, people who drink coffee are less likely to get type 2 diabetes, some types of cancer, and suffer from brain-destroying pathologies - Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases, the expert added.

At the same time, she recalled, significant doses of caffeine cause adverse reactions in some people - for example, increased feelings of anxiety, upset stomach. They should carefully control the amount of coffee they drink.
