Drinking coffee every morning is a common practice for a large number of people around the globe.
However, what most people do not associate with this habit are the health benefits the beverage is providing.
From brain function, to nutritional value, or even productivity, Coffee has been linked to improvements in performance in these areas.
1. Coffee increases brain function
Let’s be honest, caffeine is the reason most people actually drink coffee - we rely on it to keep moving!
However, what most people don’t seem to know is the other benefits that coffee can have on brain function, when consumed in moderation.
Starting your day off with a nice brew can lead to particular enhancements, specifically in your memory, energy levels, mood, alertness, and presence.
Besides staying awake - there are plenty of reasons to begin the morning with a coffee to get you up and ready to go.
2. It is Packed With Many Essential Nutrients!
There is a range of nutrients and antioxidants found in coffee that will keep you happy and healthy. Among others, coffee contains;
- Vitamin B2 (Maintain body's energy supply)
- Vitamin B5 (Helps convert food into energy)
- Potassium (Regulates fluid balance and muscle contractions)
- Magnesium, Vitamin B3 (Helps functions in the nervous and digestive system)
According to a Singaporean health study, coffee has also been shown to significantly reduce the risk of type 2 diabetes in regular consumers - by up to 67%!
Coffee is also the biggest source of antioxidants for the average person, more than fruit and vegetables combined.
3. It helps set your morning routine
The most productive people all have one thing in common - a morning routine.
For most of us, the morning is the only part of the day we have real control over, so it is important we do it right.
A good morning routine will leave you energised (perhaps with the assistance of coffee), refreshed, and eager to attack the day ahead.
A routine is based around one thing, and beginning this routine could be as simple as having a coffee.
This will allow your body to kick into motion - it will drastically reduce stress levels and improve productivity.
Drinking coffee clearly has many benefits. There are countless studies that have proven these outlined reasons, and many more, so keep it up!
