However, despite its popularity, coffee has always been viewed as a health hazard. It is usually ranked up there with alcohol and cigarette as a health risk. But, contrary to popular belief, coffee may carry some health benefits.
What are the health benefits of drinking coffee?
1. Coffee increases energy levels.
One of the known benefits of coffee is that it increases energy levels. The caffeine content is a stimulant in the central nervous system. After drinking coffee, caffeine is absorbed into the body and travels up to your brain. As a result, it “wakes up” a person who drinks it. This is why most people depend on coffee in the morning to get them started and create a positive mood throughout the day.
2. Coffee improves mental alertness.
Intake of coffee also improves mental alertness for a short period of time. As well as memory, mood, vigilance, energy levels, reaction times and general mental function. Studies have shown that moderate intake of caffeine can improve focus and concentration to as much as 3 hours. It is therefore suggested for work that requires quick response time, information analysis, and even proofreading.
It is even recommended to drink a cup of coffee before going to the gym or exercising. Besides increasing mental alertness and energy levels, it also increases epinephrine or adrenaline. This hormone prepares your body for intense physical exertion.
3. Coffee lowers the risk of type II diabetes.
Studies have observed that coffee drinkers have a lower risk to acquire type II diabetes by 25% to 50%. It is said that compounds found in the coffee block the accumulation of protein in the body, which is then linked to the increase in the risk of getting type 2 diabetes. This link between coffee and diabetes is the ongoing topic of several studies in laboratories nowadays.
4. Coffee contains high amounts of antioxidants.
Antioxidants are compounds that slow down cell damage caused by free radicals. Coffee has an impressive amount of antioxidants. In fact, it is even higher than those found in green tea and matcha. As a result, coffee is viewed to help prevent a lot of diseases including Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s, as well as certain cancers and liver cirrhosis. Essential nutrients are also found in coffee. A cup of coffee contains Riboflavin, Pantothenic acid, Manganese and potassium, and Magnesium and niacin. However, do not depend on just coffee to combat these diseases. Eating healthily and exercising are still needed.
Even knowing that coffee has health benefits, you should not overdo drinking it. Excessive cups of coffee, especially in short periods, are still toxic to the body. Too much coffee can cause anxiety and sleep deprivation. Much like everything in this life, coffee should always be taken in moderation.
