1 - Coffee Increases Your Energy & Makes You Smarter Not to anyone's astonishment, but coffee is found to help people feel less tired & can increase energy levels. This is because coffee contains a large amount of caffeine, which is technically the most common psychoactive substance in the world. Once you've drunk a steaming cup of coffee, the caffeine runs through your body and into your brain, stimulating different neurotransmitters that help the consumer to feel much more awake & energetic. Clinical trials that have been conducted show that coffee & the subsequent caffeine improves the various function of the brain. This includes memory, energy levels, overall cognitive function and even your mood! So coffee won't just make you more energetic, but has the ability to make you happy!
2 - Coffee helps you to burn fat! Caffeine is one of the most common ingredients in fat burning supplements. This is because caffeine is one of a few substances that are known to actually promote fat loss. This is because caffeine is known to boost your metabolic rate, upping your metabolism by 3% to 11% depending on your body, and how much caffeine you have consumed. Other studies show that caffeine promotes the burning of fat by as much as 10% in obese people, and an incredible 29% in people with less body fat.

There are a plethora of sports stimulants, usually drinks, powders and tablets that are marketed to improve physical performance. Do you know what they have in common? That's right. They are almost always using caffeine as a stimulant. Caffeine stimulates your nervous system which sends signals to break down and burn body fat. Caffeine is also known to increase adrenaline levels and release fatty acids from the fat tissues, which promotes the proper fueling of your body when it needs it during physical performance.
4 - Coffee May Lower Your Risk of Type II Diabetes Type 2 diabetes is a widespread problem, that affects millions of people worldwide. Diabetes is a health condition that affects the insulin levels in the human body. Diabetes affects the pancreas as it usually means the pancreas is incapable of producing enough insulin to regulate blood sugar levels. This can lead to hypoglycemia & hypoglycemic attacks which can be fatal in some cases. Elevated blood sugar levels are common in those that have diabetes, as the pancreas isn't able to secrete insulin to control them. Some studies show that regular coffee drinkers have a much smaller chance of developing type 2 diabetes. These studies show that people who drink higher amounts of coffee have up to a 30% lower chance of getting diabetes, with a single study showing that rate as high as 67%.
5 - Coffee Has Positive Effects On Your Liver Your liver is one of the most important organs in your body, as it carries out hundreds of functions that are essential to keep you alive.

A lot of the mentioned diseases can lead to a condition called cirrhosis, which is where the liver is damaged because of pre-existing diseases. Cirrhosis sufferers usually have damaged livers, with scar tissue making up a lot of their liver. Studies show that coffee can protect against cirrhosis. People who several cups a day have up to an amazing 80% lower risk of developing this condition, which could be life-saving. Cirrhosis can lead to liver failure, which is fatal so this is an impressive benefit that coffee can provide.
6 - Coffee Can Help Depression Depression is a very common but serious health condition that affects the quality of life massively. It's estimated that 1 in 4 people in the UK will develop & experience depression throughout their lifetime. This makes depression on of the most common mental conditions in the world. In a Harvard study that was released in 2011, women who drank 4 or more cups of coffee a day had a 20% less chance of being depressed. Another recent study showed that 208,424 people who drank coffee more than 4 times a day were 53% less likely to commit suicide. Both of these studies could be focusing on the same process that's occurring when people drink coffee. As well as the mental effect of enjoying a warming beverage, a chemical reaction is also happening because of the coffee. Caffeine in high amounts is known to release neurotransmitters like dopamine, which is released when the brain recognises reward motivated behaviour. Eating, drinking & other engrained processes will trigger dopamine, which is why we may see a more positive state after people drink coffee.

There are many misconceptions when it comes to coffee and how it affects blood pressure. There is a slight increase in pressure but is usually diminished by regular coffee drinkers as your body adapts to the caffeine. This effect will also diminish in time as your body is better suited to receive coffee. Regular coffee drinkers will also have a slightly lower risk of having a stroke, which is another great health benefit of coffee.
