Coffee isn’t just tasty and energizing \u2014 it may also be extremely good for you.<\/p>\n

In recent years and decades, scientists have studied the effects of coffee on various aspects of health. Their results have been nothing short of amazing.<\/p>\n

Here are 7 reasons why coffee may actually be one of the healthiest beverages on the planet.<\/p>\n

1. Coffee Can Make You Smarter<\/h2>\n

Coffee doesn’t just keep you awake \u2014 it may also make you smarter.<\/p>\n

The active ingredient in coffee is caffeine, which is a stimulant and the most commonly consumed psychoactive substance in the world.<\/p>\n

Caffeine\u00a0works in your brain by blocking the effects of an inhibitory neurotransmitter called adenosine.<\/p>\n

By blocking the inhibitory effects of adenosine, caffeine actually increases neuronal firing in the brain and the release of other neurotransmitters like dopamine and norepinephrine.<\/p>\n

Many controlled studies have examined the effects of caffeine on the brain, demonstrating that caffeine can temporarily improve mood, reaction time, memory, vigilance and general brain function.<\/p>\n

2. Coffee Can Help You Burn Fat and Improves Physical Performance<\/h2>\n

Caffeine, partly due to its stimulant effect on the central nervous system, both raises metabolism and increases the oxidation of fatty acids.<\/p>\n

It can also improve athletic performance in several ways, including by mobilizing fatty acids from the fat tissues.<\/p>\n

In two separate meta-analyses, caffeine was found to increase exercise performance by 11\u201312%, on average.<\/p>\n

3. Coffee May Drastically Lower Your Risk of Type 2 Diabetes<\/h2>\n

Type 2 diabetes is a lifestyle-related disease that has reached epidemic proportions. It has increased 10-fold in a few decades and now afflicts about 300 million people.<\/p>\n

This disease is characterized by high blood glucose levels due to insulin resistance or an inability to produce insulin.<\/p>\n

In observational studies, coffee has been repeatedly associated with a lower risk of type 2 diabetes. The reduction in risk ranges from 23% all the way up to 67%.<\/p>\n

4. Coffee May Be Extremely Good for Your Liver<\/h2>\n

The liver is a remarkable organ that carries out hundreds of vital functions in your body.<\/p>\n

It is vulnerable to modern dietary pitfalls, such as consuming too much alcohol or fructose.<\/p>\n

Cirrhosis is the end stage of liver damage caused by diseases like alcoholism and hepatitis, where liver tissue has been largely replaced by scar tissue.<\/p>\n

Multiple studies have shown that coffee can lower your risk of cirrhosis by as much as 80%. Those who drank 4 or more cups per day felt the strongest effect.<\/p>\n

5. Coffee Is Loaded With Nutrients and Antioxidants<\/h2>\n

Coffee isn’t just black water.<\/p>\n

Many of the nutrients in the coffee beans do make it into the final drink, which actually contains a decent amount of vitamins and minerals.<\/p>\n

One cup of coffee contains:<\/p>\n

6% of the RDA for pantothenic acid (vitamin B5)
\n11% of the RDA for riboflavin (vitamin B2)
\n2% of the RDA for niacin (B3) and thiamine (B1)
\n3% of the RDA for potassium and manganese
\nIt may not seem like much, but if you drink several cups of coffee per day then it quickly adds up.<\/p>\n

But that\u2019s not all. Coffee also contains massive amounts of antioxidants.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
