Coffee contains a higher percentage of caffeine than soft drinks, tea, and chocolate.
Caffeine is a stimulant that can enhance brain function and boost metabolism. It is also one of the most common psychostimulants in the world. Caffeine is a well-known brain stimulant because it blocks the inhibitory neurotransmitter adenosine. Caffeine increases brain activity and releases other neurotransmitters, which reduces feelings of lethargy and makes you feel more alert.
Numerous studies have shown that caffeine can lead to a short-term increase in brain function, improved mood, alertness and overall cognitive function.
Caffeine can also increase metabolic rate by 3-11%, and exercise performance by 11-12% on average.
Coffee may protect your brain from Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease.
Alzheimer's disease is one of the most common mental illnesses worldwide and a leading cause of dementia. Studies have shown that coffee drinkers are 65% less likely to develop Alzheimer's. Parkinson's disease is one of the most common neurological diseases and results from the death of dopamine-producing neurons in the brain.
One of the benefits of coffee is that it reduces the risk of liver disease.
Those who drink 100% organic specialty coffee have a lower risk of liver disease. Your liver is a vital organ with hundreds of different functions in your body. The final stage of liver damage is called cirrhosis, where most of the liver turns into scar tissue.
Coffee drinkers have an 80% lower risk of developing liver cirrhosis, and their risk of developing liver disease is reduced by 40%.
Drinking coffee reduces the risk of depression and lowers suicide rates.
Depression is the most common mental disorder in the world and leads to a significant decrease in quality of life.
In a 2011 Harvard University study, people who drank coffee were 20% less likely to develop depression.
In another study, people who drank four or more cups of coffee a day were 53% less likely to commit suicide.
