Since the early 15th century, coffee beans have been grown and cultivated for trade between nations beginning on the Arabian Peninsula. With that being said, coffee is the second most traded commodity in the world right now behind oil importing and exporting. The U.S. alone consumes an average of 400 million cups of coffee every day!

Coffee, the world’s most famous and loved bean, is proven to be more than just delicious, but also nutritious.

Coffee is proven to increase one’s energy levels, metabolism, brain activity, and physical performance, while lowering the risks of type 2 diabetes, Alzheimer’s, and cancer.

A stimulant called caffeine found in coffee is proven to be responsible for the increase in one’s overall mind and body shift after consuming coffee.

The caffeine found in coffee is able to increase one’s energy level while stimulating the nervous system to send signals throughout one’s body and brain at an increased rate of about 14-17%. Therefore, the product of the caffeine consumption is a more conscious mind and a more lively body with all this new energy one’s body is being exposed to when you’re feeling sort of sluggish and dazed during early school hours.

Coffee also improves your physical performance because of the high levels of caffeine. Because of the new, increased energy your mind and body has, one’s overall performance during exercising and daily activities are stimulated at a much higher and faster pace.

One’s metabolism is also affecting by the caffeine intake due to the fact that caffeine stimulates your nervous system and your body to work faster, and as a result, your body uses more energy to burn fat at an increased rate.

While increasing one’s energy levels, coffee is proven to reduce the risk of developing Alzheimers, Type 2 Diabetes, and cancer.

Studies show that people who drink coffee on a regular basis have up to a 65% lower risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease and up to a 50% lower risk of developing Type 2 Diabetes.

In addition, coffee can have an affect on fighting against both liver and colorectal cancer. Studies show that coffee drinkers have a 40% lower risk of developing liver cancer and 15% lower risk of colorectal cancer.

Coffee has many more benefits with the caffeine and nutrients found within its bean that make it more than just your average “cup of Joe.”
