1. Burns Body Fats: A core ingredient of coffee, Caffeine, increases your metabolic
rate, modulates blood sugar, improves insulin sensitivity, curbs your appetite and
stimulates the nervous system, triggering fat cells to break down body fat.
2. Boosts Performance: Caffeine not only increases Epinephrine (Adrenaline, bodys
fight or flight hormone) levels in the blood, readying our body for intense physical
exertion but also the number of fatty acids circulating in the bloodstream making
them available as ready fuel.
3. Fights Depression and Makes You Happier: Caffeine not only gives your body a
jolt, but it also acts a mild anti-depressant, boosting production of feel-good
neurotransmitters in the brain, including dopamine, serotonin and noradrenalin.
4. Decreases Metabolic Syndrome Risk: Coffee decreases the risk of Metabolic
syndrome (obesity, a large waist circumference, and insulin resistance) by reducing
triglyceride levels and improved glucose tolerance.
5. Speeds Recovery and Reduces Muscle Soreness: Caffeine reduces the process of
muscle recovery by up to 48% and improves muscle glycogen re-synthesis, postworkout.
6. Increases Motivation & Reaction Time: Caffeine blocks an inhibitory
neurotransmitter Adenosine, increasing the amount of other neurotransmitters like
norepinephrine and dopamine. These fire up the neurons, responsible for better
memory, mood, vigilance, logical reasoning, energy levels, reaction times and
general cognitive function.
7. Lowers stress: Coffee aromas lead to changes in brain proteins tied to stress, felt
as a result of sleep deprivation and over exertion.
8. Prevents Heart Disease and Stroke: Antioxidants, in coffee, help quell the
damaging effects of inflammations on arteries. Improves the ratio between bad
LDL and good HDL cholesterol by 8%.
9. Improves Vascular Health & regulates Blood Pressure: Improves health of the
blood vessels by increasing nitric oxide production in the endothelium, improving
vascular muscle tone. Helps maintain healthy arterial pressure, lowering blood
pressure over the long-term.
10. Protects against Prostate cancer: Studies have proved that active coffee drinkers
reduce their risk of prostate cancer recurrence and/or progression by 59%, than
those with lower or no coffee consumption.
11. Protects against Type 2 diabetes: Decaffeinated coffee increases plasma levels
of the protein Sex Hormone-Binding Globulin (SHBG) which controls the biological
activity of Testosterone and Estrogen, critical in the development of Type 2
diabetes.
12. Nutrient Superstore: A cup of coffee contains important nutrients, including
Riboflavin (B2), Pantothenic Acid (B5), Manganese, Potassium, Magnesium and
Niacin (B3), without any added calories.
13. Rich in Antioxidants: Coffee (caffeinated or decaffeinated) is the number one
source of antioxidants in the U.S. Americans get more of their antioxidants from
