A
rush of caffeine in the morning is a special thing. It gives you a little extra
pep in your step and gets you ready for the day. But the benefits of luxury coffee don’t end there. There is a wealth of
research demonstrating the health benefits of coffee.
However, it’s
important to remember that coffee alone cannot prevent, cure or diagnose
diseases or ailments. It’s always advisable and wise to consult a doctor or medical
professional regarding your health.
Coffee
Alleviates Depression
Who knew bitter coffee
could have such sweet effects? Research shows that coffee can help prevent mild to moderate depression, which affects roughly 15 percent of people in
high-income nations. Scientists are still investigating the reasons why. One
hypothesis is that caffeine helps moderate adenosine levels which are often
adjusted during sleep cycles; thus preventing normal cellular responses leading
to a lack of energy or motivation.
Stick
with Alkaline Water
Luxury coffee pods
from Caffè di Artisan use alkaline water, which boasts a number of health benefits
ranging from immune system support to a reduction of headaches. How is alkaline
water different from “normal” water? The pH level is higher and thus less
acidic. Because of this, advocates believe it can neutralise the acid in your
coffee. This means less tummy aches after your cup of morning Joe – which some
people believe is caused by acidic (non-alkaline) coffee.
Coffee
Improves Energy & Memory
We all know that
coffee makes you feel more alert, but that rush isn’t a placebo; it’s a
well-documented benefit. Studies show that a regular intake of moderate levels
of caffeine can improve energy, memory, vigilance, reaction times,
productivity, and general cognitive functions. Coffee makes rote task more
enjoyable and complex tasks more doable.
Caffeine
Protects Against Alzheimer's Disease & Dementia
So, we know that
coffee and caffeine improve short-term memory. But did you also know coffee has
a beneficial effect on long-term cognitive acuity? Science finds that caffeine
intake can protect individuals against Dementia and Alzheimer's disease, both of which are forms of neurodegeneration.
Healthcare professionals hope future studies will help them better understand
the relationship between caffeine and brain health.
Coffee
Lowers the Risk of Parkinson's
The second most common
neurodegenerative disease, behind Alzheimer’s, is Parkinson’s disease. While
there is no known cure, studies show that coffee drinkers have a much lower risk of developing Parkinson’s – as much as 30
to 60 percent!
Luxury
Coffee Affords a Longer Life
Since coffee protects
against so many ailments, it only makes sense that coffee drinkers would enjoy
longer lives. It is also a fantastic source of antioxidants and beneficial compounds your body needs
to function. Perhaps this is why coffee drinkers are less likely to die from
infections, injuries, respiratory diseases, diabetes, strokes, heart disease,
and a litany of other ailments. So in the end, coffee isn’t just a beverage to
warm your soul. It also does your body good.
