4 Reasons Why You Should Be Drinking Coffee


Yes, you can celebrate the news - coffee is good for you! In addition to perking you up in the morning and warming you up on a cold day, coffee is surprisingly loaded with health benefits. Keep up a healthy habit of drinking a cup of coffee every day to enjoy these four fantastic health benefits.

Coffee Is Great For Brain Health

The caffeine found in coffee serves to strengthen your brain in a variety of ways. As a natural stimulant, caffeine works to block Adenosine, the inhibitory neurotransmitter that can cause mental blocks and forgetfulness. When caffeine blocks this neurotransmitter’s inhibitory effects, your brain is cleared up to concentrate more effectively. Even better, caffeine encourages the release of good neurotransmitters such as dopamine and norepinephrine, which serve to increase your mood. All of these effects serve to prevent such debilitating chronic diseases as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease. Overall, coffee can improve your cognitive thinking skills, reaction time, mood, and memory, so drink up! 

Coffee Can Aid In Fat Burning And Weight Loss

It makes sense that the caffeine naturally found in coffee can increase the energy your body needs to stick to an effective fitness routine. This enhancement of physical performance is one way in which it serves to encourage weight loss. However, coffee can also work directly in your body to promote fat burn. The caffeine works to mobilize and increase the oxidation of fatty acids from the fat tissues, as well as stimulating the nervous system to the point where the body’s metabolism is increased noticeably.

Coffee Can Lower Your Risk Of Developing Many Chronic Diseases

As we previously learned, the caffeine found in coffee has the ability to increase levels of dopamine in the brain. Since Parkinson’s disease is characterized by its ability to kill dopamine-generating neurons in the brain, the caffeine from coffee can work to effectively combat this. For this same reason, coffee drinkers benefit from a reduced risk of Alzheimer’s and dementia. Furthermore, coffee reduces the risk of developing diabetes, since it works to stabilize levels of glucose in the blood.

Coffee Supplies Important Nutrients And Antioxidants

Just one more benefit from the coffee bean is that it is packed with a surprising amount of healthy and essential nutrients and antioxidants. A cup of coffee provides you with 6 percent of the Recommended Daily Amount (RDA) of vitamin B5, 11 percent RDA of vitamin B2 (also known as riboflavin), and 3 percent RDA of manganese and potassium. These levels increase with every cup of coffee you drink in a given day. Interestingly enough, coffee has higher levels of antioxidants than fruits and vegetables combined. Now go brew yourself a cup!
