Benefits of drinking coffee. There are many besides the ones that are good for your health.
Did you know that coffee is the No. 1 source of antioxidants in the American diet? And antioxidants act as “free radical scavengers” preventing or slowing signs of aging in our bodies and in our skin. Watch out though if you have high blood pressure as some studies suggest that coffee can cause problems for you. For those sports nuts who actually exercise instead of just lazing around watching sports on the tube, there seems to be considerable benefit to physical performance. Caffeine turns out to be a ergogenic acid and ergogenic acid enhances muscular work capacity. Most weekend athletes would benefit from 1-2 cups before exercise of any sort to perform better and longer. Most of us would know by experience that coffee keeps us alert when we’re on the road but new research indicates that more accidents are caused by sleepy drivers than drunk drivers. Coffee also improves alertness and concentration – needed by drivers to avoid accidents. So pull over when you are tired and grab a cup of Joe and your chances of getting home safely are vastly improved. |
