Coffee is one of the most popular beverages in the world. It’s a favourite of just about everyone who wants to keep themselves awake throughout the day. Some even invest in high-end appliances such as Odette coffeemakers to make sure that they are getting a cup of perfect coffee.
But why should coffee be part of your daily drinking habit? Here are wonderful reasons why:
Smelling coffee helps reduce stress.
According to the researchers at the Seoul National University, the brains of rats who were stressed due to lack of sleep acted erratically compared to the rats exposed to coffee aroma. While the aroma studies doesn’t relate to stress itself, but just the stress experienced because of sleep deprivation.
The caffeine content also helps stimulate the braincells, allowing you to think better and calmer despite being under pressure. This may be the reason why most people exposed to high-stress environments prefer to drink coffee, with caffeine, over any other kind of beverage.
So, have you thought about smelling that bag of coffee beans you’ve just bought?
Coffee, a beverage containing caffeine, is seen to lessen the symptoms of Parkinson’s disease.
In a study presented by ScienceDaily back in 2012, it was found that drinking coffee, a beverage containing caffeine, may help people experiencing symptoms of Parkinson’s disease. The author, Ronald Postuma, MD, said “Studies have shown that people who use caffeine are less likely to develop Parkinson’s disease, but this is one of the first studies in humans to show that caffeine can help with movement symptoms for people who already have the disease.”
Coffee, a beverage high in caffeine, is great for the liver, especially when you are an alcohol drinker.
In a study back in 2006 that included over 125,000 individuals in the span of 22 years, it showed that people who drink at least a cup of coffee a day were 20% less risk to develop liver cirrhosis.
As we know, cirrhosis is an autoimmune disorder due to excessive alcohol consumption, which often leads to cancer and liver failure. According to Arthur Klatksy, author of the said study, “Consuming coffee seems to have some protective benefits against alcoholic cirrhosis, and the more coffee a person consumes the less risk they seem to have of being hospitalised or dying of alcoholic cirrhosis.”
The study also showed that coffee helps prevent people from developing non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. Another team of researchers meanwhile from Duke-NUS Graduate Medical School discovered that drinking four or more cups of coffee per day can be beneficial in preventing the onset of NAFLD.
Coffee makes you feel happier.
Aside from the joy of using your Odette coffeemaker, coffee itself can put you in high, jovial spirits.
In a research study done by the National Institute of Health, it was discovered that people who consume coffee were around 10 percent less likely to feel depressed than those who have never tried drinking their cup of joe.
Surprisingly, it’s not because of the usual “caffeine high,” but rather it is linked to depression. According to the experts behind the study, the apparent reason coffee makes you happy is because of the antioxidants it contains.
Alongside making you feel happy, drinking coffee is also linked to lower levels of suicide. It was determined by the Harvard School of Public health that people drinking two to four cups of coffee can be at lesser risk of suicide, since coffee acts as an antidepressant by aiding the production of feel good hormones such serotonin, dopamine, and noradrenaline.
We’re seeing a lot of perks of drinking coffee, so why not invest in an Odette coffeemaker today so you can enjoy the best of your favourite beans?
