10 benefits of coffee you may not known
For some, the only way to start the day is with a hot cup of coffee. For others, it’s the best way to take a moment to breathe and relax. But there are many benefits hidden within the humble coffee bean, those golden-brown coffee granules. Whether it’s filter coffee, or the 100% pure coffee granules, studies have shown that a moderate amount of coffee has many health benefits that go over and above the caffeine content - helping to improve focus and concentration for work, or keeping fatigue at bay if you're an athlete or do regular exercise. Coffee can even help protect against headaches, strokes, diabetes, and other illnesses. Read on and find out all about the benefits coffee has to offer.
1. RICH IN ANTIOXIDANTS
One of the greatest benefits of coffee is that it's rich in antioxidants, especially in green coffee beans. Every cup of coffee carries these antioxidants, and is especially high in polyphenols, which work together with other minerals to help your body and cells function optimally, preventing disease, and maintaining good health in general.
2. ACTIVATES THE MIND
Coffee is rich in caffeine, which is the is the component of coffee that stimulates and activates our bodies and minds. It helps to improve some cognitive functions, and your memory. Caffeine also helps us to stay focused, energised, and alert - just another benefit of drinking coffee, black or with milk.
3. HELPS PROTECT AGAINST HEADACHES
Caffeine is a natural vasodilator, which means it helps to decrease blood pressure by preventing the muscles in your veins from tightening up and getting narrower. People who suffer from headaches could benefit from coffee, especially if they add some milk. It’s important to not overdo it – even 3 cups of coffee a day could be too much, and it could easily become a trigger for headaches and migraines.
4. IT KEEPS ATHLETES REFRESHED, ENERGISED, AND ALERT
People who are very active - whether it's just regular exercise for fitness reasons, or even a professional athlete - will also benefit from drinking coffee, due to the caffeine content in every cup. It helps to improve physical performance by helping the body to lower the effects of fatigue, improving focus, and staying alert and focused.
