Coffee’s Effects on the Brain
The most popular benefit that we know when it comes to drinking coffee; is that it gives us a boost or a sprout of innate energy which allows us to get through insurmountable amounts of tasks. That’s because of its main ingredient ‘caffeine’.
Caffeine increases the adrenaline levels in your blood, which is good for people who are getting ready to do something big. Adrenaline is a hormone that stimulates our body’s ‘fight or flight’ response, preparing our body for extreme physical exertion.

Lastly, Caffeine brightens our mood. If you feel a bit out of yourself lately, why not take a sip of your favorite coffee. Caffeine increases the production of neurotransmitters like serotonin, dopamine and noradrenaline in the brain; which is responsible for elevation of our mood.

Caffeine can also help our body break down fat, and use it as fuel for training.
Coffee Prevents Certain Diseases
Maybe this is because coffee contains the antioxidant called polyphenol, or plant antioxidant. These have been shown to help in the prevention of heart diseases, and certain cancers.

As tackled earlier, coffee increases the use of insulin, regulating blood sugar levels which may lower the risk of Type II Diabetes.
Lastly, coffee enhances brain activity and elevates the mood, resulting to prevention of Alzheimer’s Disease and Depression.

Drinking Moderation
So we have learned the health benefits that we can get from coffee, now we just have to make sure that we are drinking the appropriate amount. Because no matter how healthy something is; if you take more than what is prescribed, then it’s always going to be bad.
According to the books, the recommended amount of coffee intake should never be above 400 mg a day. That’s just four and three-fourth 8-ounce cups of brewed coffee a day. But just to be safe, one is enough for me. Coffee if taken moderately is indeed a miracle drink.
