Top 21 REASONS TO DRINK COFFEE
1. Burns Body Fats: A core ingredient of coffee, Caffeine,
increases your metabolic rate, modulates blood sugar, improves insulin
sensitivity, curbs your appetite and stimulates the nervous system, triggering
fat cells to break down body fat.
2. Boosts Performance: Caffeine not only increases
Epinephrine (Adrenaline, body’s “fight or flight” hormone) levels in the blood,
readying our body for intense physical exertion but also the number of fatty
acids circulating in the bloodstream making them available as ready fuel.
3. Fights Depression and Makes You Happier: Caffeine not
only gives your body a jolt, but it also acts a mild anti-depressant, boosting
production of “feel-good” neurotransmitters in the brain, including dopamine,
serotonin and noradrenalin.
4. Decreases Metabolic Syndrome Risk: Coffee decreases the
risk of Metabolic syndrome (obesity, a large waist circumference, and insulin
resistance) by reducing triglyceride levels and improved glucose tolerance.
5. Speeds Recovery and Reduces Muscle Soreness: Caffeine
reduces the process of muscle recovery by up to 48% and improves muscle
glycogen re-synthesis, post-workout.
6. Increases Motivation & Reaction Time: Caffeine blocks
an inhibitory neurotransmitter Adenosine, increasing the amount of other
neurotransmitters like norepinephrine and dopamine. These fire up the neurons,
responsible for better memory, mood, vigilance, logical reasoning, energy
levels, reaction times and general cognitive function.
7. Lowers stress: Coffee aromas lead to changes in brain
proteins tied to stress, felt as a result of sleep deprivation and over
exertion.
8. Prevents Heart Disease and Stroke: Antioxidants, in
coffee, help quell the damaging effects of inflammations on arteries. Improves
the ratio between “bad” LDL and “good” HDL cholesterol by 8%.
9. Improves Vascular Health & regulates Blood Pressure:
Improves health of the blood vessels by increasing nitric oxide production in
the endothelium, improving vascular muscle tone. Helps maintain healthy
arterial pressure, lowering blood pressure over the long-term.
10. Protects against Prostate cancer: Studies have proved
that active coffee drinkers reduce their risk of prostate cancer recurrence
and/or progression by 59%, than those with lower or no coffee consumption.
11. Protects against Type 2 diabetes: Decaffeinated coffee
increases plasma levels of the protein Sex Hormone-Binding Globulin (SHBG)
which controls the biological activity of Testosterone and Estrogen, critical
in the development of Type 2 diabetes.
12. Nutrient Superstore: A cup of coffee contains important
nutrients, including Riboflavin (B2), Pantothenic Acid (B5), Manganese,
Potassium, Magnesium and Niacin (B3), without any added calories.
13. Rich in Antioxidants: Coffee (caffeinated or
decaffeinated) is the number one source of antioxidants in the U.S. Americans
get more of their antioxidants from coffee than any other dietary source.
14. For Alzheimer’s Disease and Dementia: Coffee sippers
reduced the risk or delayed onset of Alzheimer’s disease, by 65%, which is a
leading cause of dementia worldwide.
15. For Parkinson’s disease: Coffee drinkers have up to a
60% lower risk of getting Parkinson’s disease (caused by the death of
dopamine-generating neurons), the second most common neurodegenerative disorder
after Alzheimer’s disease.
16. Liver LOVER: Paraxanthine, one of the breakdown products
of caffeine, restricts tissue growth associated with liver fibrosis, alcoholic
cirrhosis and liver cancer. Caffeine and antioxidants, Chlorogenic and Caffeic
acids, prevent liver inflammation and reduce risk of Primary Sclerosing
Cholangitis (PSC), a rare autoimmune disease of the bile ducts in the liver.
17. Cancer Cure: Antioxidants, Caffeic and Chlorogenic acid,
prevent Glioma (a form of brain cancer), lower risk of developing Basal Cell
Carcinoma (BCC)—most common type of skin cancer (in women) and endometrial
cancer(cancer of the lining of the uterus).
18. Provides Migraine relief: Coffee constricts swollen
blood vessels in the brain, which can decrease throbbing pain. In fact,
caffeine is used as a main ingredient in many popular over-the-counter migraine
medications.
19. Anti-aging miracle: Coffee’s high antioxidant content
refreshes your skin, helps reduce cellulite and fights against wrinkles.
20. Prevents Colon
Cancer: Coffee contains numerous wonder ingredients which cuts the risk of
colon cancer by nearly 25%.
21. Decreases Mortality Rate: Studies on regular coffee
drinkers across variety of ethnicities, gender, body fat, lifestyle factors and
age show 10% lower risk of mortality than abstainers.
