5 Reasons to Drink Coffee Every Day

Ah, coffee – lauded by many as the “elixir of life”, as caffeine often provides us with that first whiff of air which wakes our mind early in the morning and kick-starts our day.

It’s often joked about that a typical person can’t be properly spoken to or expected to function until they’ve had at least a nice hot cup of joe, but did you know that science can actually attest to that and that there are even more benefits to coffee than most of us know?

Although caffeine abuse is a definite no-no, as too much of it have serious health risks, the right amount of coffee consumed every day has plenty of health-promoting effects. Here are just a few of the many reasons coffee should be part of your daily diet, and why it might truly be an elixir of life:

1. It helps improve work performance.

Drinking coffee enhances short-term memory and can reduce the effects of fatigue to keep us energised. Apart from being a great study and work companion, it’s also good for those who enjoy sports and other physical activities as it enhances endurance and increases motor function, as well as focus and attention. 

2. It’s a great source of antioxidants.

Coffee contains more antioxidants than your usual serving of fresh fruit juices. These antioxidants are said to be responsible for many of coffee’s health benefits such as reducing the risks of cardiovascular disease due to inflammation and cell damage due to free radicals. Drinking 2-3 cups of coffee a day has also been noted to lower the risk of developing Type II Diabetes. Green coffee beans, the main ingredient of Qafé, helps regulate gastrointestinal movement and the absorption of fats, and monitors the assimilation of high-calorie foods.

3. It helps with weight loss.

Particularly with green coffee, daily consumption can help you burn fat faster and lose extra weight while you’re on a break from exercise. Coffee also curbs your appetite, helping you cope with cravings and hunger pangs while dieting. Furthermore, because it enhances physical performance, drinking coffee before working out enables you to have a more focussed and energised training session. Did you know that Qafé contains high levels of chlorogenic acid (CGA) known to effectively manage weight?

4. It provides a rich atmosphere for socialisation.

Ever wonder why coffee shops are so popular? Coffee enhances dopamine, known as the brain’s “feel-good” neurotransmitters, which helps us become more enthusiastic and sociable. People love catching up over a cup of coffee, whether it’s at a café or while having a quick break from a meeting or seminar, because it moderates the intensity of direct interaction and stimulates the energy which we can pour into social interactions.

5. It’s good for your mental health.

Coffee’s greatest effects are exerted on the brain, as it stimulates the entire nervous system, facilitating overall cognitive function. Apart from this, it is also one of the safest and fastest mood enhancers on earth, and as mentioned above, the dopamine-enhancing property of coffee improves negative emotions and increases general happiness along with feelings of pleasure. Harvard research published in the Archives of Internal Medicine has even found that drinking coffee lowered rates of depression, particularly among women.
