Here are 7 reasons why coffee may actually be one of the
healthiest beverages on the planet. As long as it is carefully
selected, well roasted and freshly served.

3. COFFEE CAN MAKE YOU SMARTER
Caffeine potently blocks an inhibitory neurotransmitter in the brain, leading
to a net stimulant effect. Controlled trials show that caffeine improves
both mood and brain function. By blocking the inhibitory effects of
Adenosine, caffeine actually increases neuronal firing in the brain and the
release of other neurotransmitters like dopamine and norepinephrine

4. COFFEE CAN HELP YOU BURN FAT AND
IMPROVES PHYSICAL PERFORMANCE
Caffeine raises the metabolic rate and helps to mobilize fatty
acids from the fat tissues. It can also enhance physical
performance.
!
Caffeine, partly due to its stimulant effect on the central nervous
system, both raises metabolism and increases the oxidation of
fatty acids

5. COFFEE MAY DRASTICALLY LOWER
YOUR RISK OF TYPE II DIABETES
Drinking coffee is associated with a drastically reduced risk of type II
diabetes. People who drink several cups per day are the least likely to
become diabetic. In observational studies, coffee has been repeatedly
associated with a lower risk of diabetes. The reduction in risk ranges from
23% all the way up to 67%

6. COFFEE MAY LOWER YOUR RISK OF
ALZHEIMER'S AND PARKINSON'S
Coffee is associated with a much lower risk of dementia and the
neurodegenerative disorders Alzheimer's and Parkinson’s. In prospective
studies, coffee drinkers have up to a 60% lower risk of Alzheimer's
and dementia. Coffee may lower the risk of Parkinson's by 32-60%

7. COFFEE MAY BE EXTREMELY GOOD FOR
YOUR LIVER
Coffee appears to be protective against certain liver disorders, lowering the
risk of liver cancer by 40% and cirrhosis by as much as 80%. Multiple studies
have shown that coffee can lower the risk of cirrhosis by as much as 80%,
the strongest effect for those who drank 4 or more cups per day.

8. COFFEE MAY DECREASE YOUR RISK OF
DYING
Coffee consumption has been associated with a lower risk of death in
prospective epidemiological studies, especially in type II diabetics. In two very
large prospective epidemiological studies, drinking coffee was associated
with a lower risk of death by all causes.

9. COFFEE IS LOADED WITH NUTRIENTS AND
ANTIOXIDANTS
Coffee contains a decent amount of several vitamins and minerals. It is also the biggest source of
antioxidants in the modern diet. A cup of coffee contains:
!
6% of the RDA for Pantothenic Acid (Vitamin B5).
11% of the RDA for Riboflavin (Vitamin B2).
2% of the RDA for Niacin (B3) and Thiamine (B1).
3% of the RDA for Potassium and Manganese.
