Your coffee habit may be doing double duty: jumpstarting your mornings and providing COVID-19 protection, according to a recent study. New research reveals that coffee, enjoyed worldwide for its signature fragrance and flavor, may fend off illness by preventing binding of SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, in cells. Coffee—Regardless of Brew—Lowers Risk Previous research shows that a diet rich in polyphenols, compounds in plants with antioxidant properties, may boost immune function and reduce the risk of severe COVID-19 symptoms. A November 2023 study published in Cell & Bioscience  went further and examined whether drinking coffee, which contains polyphenols, could also reduce the risk of COVID-19 infection. Researchers conducted lab testing of human cells and a trial with 64 participants infected with a SARS-CoV-2 pseudo-virus. The lab tests found that coffee inhibited multiple SARS-CoV-2 variants by preventing viral binding to the ACE2 receptor and reducing the ...
