7 Reasons You Should Absolutely Keep On Indulging Your Coffee Habit
Can’t function before you’ve had your first-thing coffee fix? You’re not alone. According tothe Institute for Scientific Information on Coffee 67% of us can’t imagine life without coffee. But with warnings about the dangers of drinking too much caffeine growing ever louder, it’s difficult not to get coffee-guilt. Thankfully, though, it turns out that supping a daily cup actually has some pretty big benefits. So in honour of UK Coffee Week, we’re spilling the beans about why your caffeine hit might not be so bad after all….
It can boost your workout
OK maybe not the full fat mocha with whipped cream and marshmallows, but studies have shown coffee consumption increases adrenaline, which can help increase physical performance. “Caffeine stimulates the nervous system into producing natural forms of adrenaline,” explains Luke Thornton health and wellness instructor for Discount Supplements. “This in turns sends signals to the fat cells in your body to break down fat for energy.”
Louise Johnston, Head Nutritionist at Results with Lucy suggests having a strong black coffee as a pre-workout drink because it increases the blood flow to the muscles which in turn gives you better results. “The increased blood flow will also give you more energy to utilise in your workouts and up the oxygen levels in your blood which can help benefit your heart.”
And it can keep you going longer on the treadmill too. “Studies show that supplementation of caffeine (between 3-6mg/kg) is effective in reducing perceived exertion, meaning that a six-minute mile feels like a seven-minute mile,” explains Pamela Nisevich Bede a sports nutritionist for global healthcare company Abbott.

It can improve your memory
Forget those brain-training apps, studies have found that moderate coffee intake can help boost memory and cognitive performance due to the levels of caffeine. “Caffeine acts as a stimulant,” explains Luke Thornton health and wellness instructor for Discount Supplements. “When we drink caffeine rich liquids like coffee our brains block the inhibitory neurotransmitter Adenosine. Adenosine is the energy molecule attached to sugars. When this happens our bodies other neurotransmitters like norepinephrine (a chemical naturally produced like a hormone) and dopamine (a precursor to adrenaline) increase and the body starts to produce more and fire these into the blood stream. In turn this improves brain function, memory, mood, energy and reaction times.”
It makes you more intelligent (sort of)
Need to impress your boss? Grab a cup of the black stuff pre-meeting. “Drinking coffee in moderation, boosts blood circulation and its flow to the brain because of the high caffeine content,” explains Frida Harju, in-house nutritionist at leading health and fitness app,Lifesum “Not only does it make you more alert and therefore better able to take in new information it improves your brain’s capability to form new short term memories. The benefits have been shown to be effective for up to 24 hours, so great if you are cramming for exams.”

For readers who love a good cup of coffee, I’m sure there is nothing as satisfying as drinking a cup of freshly brewed coffee in the morning to kickstart your day.
For some of you, coffee is something you need just to kick yourself awake and ready for the day’s challenges, especially if you have had little to no sleep the night before.
For those of you who have a habit of drinking coffee daily, here is the actual amount of coffee you should drink daily and the reasons why too much coffee may be bad for your health.
Caffeine
Coffee is a stimulant that can help us to stay awake. The reason behind the effectiveness of coffee is the high caffeine content within the drink. Caffeine helps to block the activity of a chemical found in your brain that is associated with sleep and instead, tricks your brain into producing adrenaline which energises you.What most do not know is that in moderation, caffeine can indeed energise you. But when consumed in large quantities, all caffeine serves to do is to make you feel nauseous, dizzy and restless.
How much a day
For regular adults, it is recommended that they consume an average of 300-400mg of caffeine daily, this translates to roughly 3-4 cups of regular coffee or 1 cup of venti-sized Starbucks coffee. However for those with heart conditions, it is not advisable for them to consume the same amount of coffee as caffeine is a stimulant that may cause increased heart rates and blood pressure, both of which might be too much for their hearts to tahan.Children and caffeine
For children, it is recommended that they do not consume coffee as the caffeine may affect their sleep, which is important for a child’s brain development. Of course, do note that coffee isn’t the only source of caffeine, and soft drinks like coca cola contain caffeine as well, so be sure to moderate their consumption too! -
I drink it exactly 55 minutes before an important exam or meeting
