Listen up, ladies!


Getting your morning coffee fix may do more than boost your energy.

It could also help you steer clear of depression.  That's coming from a new study in the Archives of Internal Medicine.
 

The study found women who drink two to three cups a day can reduce their chances of getting depression by 15%.
 

This applies to the caffeinated joe only. Still, there's no proof coffee will completely stop depression.
