Every once in a while, a student needs a refreshing cup of coffee. Besides the much-needed energy boost, there are proven health benefits and numerous studies advocating for its consumption. Whether you're stopping by Dark Roast Java or you're making a cup from our Keurig collection at home before class, here are 7 reasons why coffee should be part of your daily routine.
1. A potent source of healthful antioxidants
Can you believe that coffee has more antioxidants than cocoa and green tea? Scientists have uncovered roughly 900+ antioxidants in unprocessed coffee beans and hundreds of more develop during the roasting phase. Coffee is often considered the major dietary source of antioxidants in many scientific study participants. Who knew something so good was actually good for you?
2. Provides a short-term memory boost
Caffeine targets particular areas of the brain that are responsible for concentration and memory. It also acts a stimulant which improves other brain functions, such as your mood, energy levels, and vigilance. A cup before class might be the deciding factor on your next test.
3. Can help you burn fat
You're young. We get it. Your body is built to run off of 3 hours of sleep and instant ramen. But the caffeine in coffee is proven to boost your metabolic rate by 3 to 11%. It's no coincidence that caffeine is in almost every commercial fat-burning supplement. So instead of daily supplements to burn fat, grab a cup of coffee for a more delightful experience for the same efforts. Somebody has got to maintain your summer body during the winter.
4. May protect you from Alzheimer's Disease and Dementia
Even though Alzheimer's Disease and Dementia typically affect individuals over the age of 60, it's time to start thinking about your future. Several studies show that people who drink coffee can lower their risk of Alzheimer's Disease by 65%, compared to non-coffee drinkers. Since Alzheimer's Disease is a leading cause of dementia, coffee drinkers are handling two problems with one cup.
5. Helps enhance physical performance
Hey athletes! Coffee is known to enhance physical performance and slow down fatigue. Previous research suggested that caffeine is a dehydrator, which is entirely not true according to recent research. In recent studies, moderate caffeine consumption does not dehydrate you enough to interfere with workouts or daily exercise and activities. But it does provide you with adrenaline and activates neurotransmitters that keep you moving. A cup an hour and a half before the gym may have you beating personal records and then some.
6. Can fight depression and make your happier
According to a 2017 study by the National Institute of Mental Health, roughly 7.1% or 17.3 million American adults, age 18 or older, suffer from depression. The rapid growth in numbers over the past few years have not been accounted for. Depression is a serious issue and drinking coffee is proven to lower rates of depression in individuals. While a certain reason has not been deduced, this inverse relationship is believed to exist because of the affect that caffeine has on the neurotransmitters that control mood, such as serotonin and dopamine.
7. Can lead to a longer life
We have all seen Tangled and the lengths people go to maintain their youthfulness. Several observational studies have concluded that coffee drinkers live a longer life and have a reduced risk of premature death. Now we are not saying that coffee has a costume and a cape, but it sure is starting to look like it. So instead of combing magical hair to live longer, just grabbing a cup of coffee in the morning will do it.
