Coffee Keeps Mental Problems Away. Whoever said that coffee is not good for you was completely wrong. Coffee is a key to happiness. Everyone remembers their first cup of coffee. It was bitter, scalding hot and the cause of a sleepless night. But after that a lifelong habit.
Coffee keeps mental problems away and drinkers are happy people. As you travel the world and especially in Europe both young and old are sitting in small groups enjoying their coffee, conversing and starting their day on a high.
Coffee is generally associated with happiness, meeting friends and loved one. So often we use the phrase, “let’s meet for a coffee next week”. Scientists have known for many years that coffee stimulates the release of the neurotransmitter dopamine. Dopamine produces the euphoria and pleasant feelings that people often associate with their first cup of coffee in the morning.
Coffee makes us feel so good because in the brain it releases all those hormones which give us a feel good feeling. Science says that coffee (in a much milder way) releases the same hormones in the brain that drugs do.
An interesting piece of trivia, the word coffee originates from “kafaa” a place in Southern Ethiopia famous for it coffee beans. The word became cafe or caffe in Italian and Spanish and final coffee in modern English.
Having coffee as a shot of espresso, diluted with hot or cold milk, sweetened with milk and sugar is a matter of personal preference, but the approximate 95 mg of caffeine is the kicker which can’t be negotiated.
Coffee in moderation is recommended, beyond that it can lead to problems such as lack of sleep, anxiety, and palpitations. Coffee addicts are moving to decaffeinated coffee, I recommend moderation instead.
Go ahead, have your coffee, you know I am going to definitely start my day with a cup of Cappuccino!
