- Buy a coffee grinder is a great idea. There’s nothing quite like smelling and tasting freshly ground coffee beans. If you’re used to drinking packaged ground coffee, you’ll really wake up and smell the coffee when you try the fresh stuff. Coffee grinders also make ideal gifts for coffee lovers.
- Use a carafe is a good option if you don’t have time to grind beans every day. Using ground coffee, a carafe enables you to enjoy sumptuous coffee with a strength to your liking.
- Get an espresso maker should be a no-brainer if you love the dark taste and immediate rush of energy that you get from drinking espressos. With an espresso maker, you can make a smooth and full-flavored cup of coffee every day.
6 Great Reasons to Drink Coffee
Now, let’s take a look at why drinking coffee is actually a good idea. Yes, it tastes wonderful and it gives you a boost of energy when you need it. But there are many reasons for drinking coffee because it’s beneficial in the following six ways.
1. Coffee Is an Excellent Source of Antioxidants
Antioxidants help to fight inflammation, so they can be very beneficial to your health in numerous ways.
You may be surprised to learn that coffee beans contain around one thousand antioxidants, making coffee an even better source of antioxidants than green tea.
2. Coffee Could Help to Protect Your Liver
Research shows coffee drinkers are more likely to have healthier liver enzyme levels compared to non-coffee-drinkers.
So, drinking coffee regularly could help to protect your liver.
3. Coffee Could Help Your Memory
Some studies show caffeine affects areas of the brain that are responsible for concentration and memory.
Therefore, drinking non-decaf coffee could boost your short-term memory and improve your concentration, although the results can vary from one person to another.
4. Coffee Could Help Slow Cognitive Decline
Several studies have been conducted that suggest coffee can protect you against cognitive decline, or even prevent it.
One of the main theories as to why that is so is that caffeine helps to prevent beta-amyloid plaque from building up, which could contribute to the onset and progression of dementia.
5. Coffee Could Lower Your Risk of Getting Type 2 Diabetes
There’s a growing number of research studies that suggest there’s a connection between drinking coffee and reducing the risk of getting type 2 diabetes.
Coffee could be beneficial in reducing the risk in several ways. It can help your body to use insulin, protect your insulin-producing cells, and enable effective blood sugar. Plus coffee could also prevent tissue damage and fight inflammation.
6. Coffee Could Help You to Live Longer
It isn’t just diabetes that coffee could protect against.
Recent studies have shown that drinking coffee regularly could reduce the risk of dying of several leading causes of death, including:
- stroke
- kidney disease
- heart disease
