Need that morning cup of java to jump start your day? If you are like most other Americans it is probably not just one. Turns out that the average person drinks at least three cups of coffee a day or more; and this number translates into more than one and a half billion cups consumed worldwide on a daily basis.

Below are a few more reasons why you shouldn’t give up your daily caffeine jolt, as long as you enjoy it all in moderation.
