For those of us who can't live without our daily cup of coffee, it turns out that those brown beans may have even more benefits than just jump-starting your morning after a late night.

Here are some other reasons to drink joe:

• It could help keep the blues away: A recent study showed that women who regularly drank coffee have a 20% less chance of being depressed.

• It might help keep the pounds off: Having a nice cup of joe after a meal causes your body to slow down digestion so that you stay fuller longer, while increasing your metabolic rate.

• It may boost fertility: Drinking java may help a guy's "little swimmers" in their quest to get to the egg.

So remember all these fun facts the next time someone offers you tea... or when someone complains that you drink too much coffee!!
