Coffee benefits I love

coffee-benefitsI LOVE drinking coffee. In the morning, in the afternoon.. I really don’t go a day without it. The moment my eyes open and I drag my head off the pillow, it’s coffee that’s on my mind. I’ll stumble into the kitchen, eyes half open, straight to my Mr. Coffee. Opening the seal to the bag of dark, glossy coffee beans brings forth the first scent of rich robust flavor I’m anxious to enjoy. Bring it on!

I was recently relieved to find out that coffee has benefits. Yay for coffee! Ok, so here is the benefit roundup.

Coffee helps relieve headaches and depression. I can’t personally verify the depression issue, but I can surely confirm the fact that it help those nasty headaches.. indeed!

Coffee is rich in Magnesium, which is something we are falling short of lately. We need it and coffee is helping to replace it. Cool, huh?

Did you know coffee was rich in antioxidants? Antioxidants are important because they help fight cancer. Therefor, coffee helps fight cancer! :)

Coffee also helps with our digestion. Yes, it helps keep our systems running smooth! Doctors actually recommend a cup or two to help move things along through our intestines they way they should and help reduce your risk of colon cancer.

Coffee drinkers have less chance of developing liver cirrhosis. In fact; coffee drinking can actually offset some of the negative side affects of heavy smoking like heart disease and liver damage.

Amazing, I think!

I’m going to grab another cuppa! Wanna join me?

They deliberately slurp the gourmet coffee and swirl it all around the surface of the tongue and mouth. They want to obtain the full experience of the taste, the unique combination of sensations in the nose and on the tongue. Note to Readers: The taste profiles and characteristics discussed in this article apply to drip gourmet coffee. Flavor characteristics and descriptions will change with alternate brewing processes.

For all intents and purposes, our sense of smell and sense of taste are inseparable. Without our sense of smell, our taste sensations are limited. The tongue detects 4 basic sensations: sweet, sour, salty, and bitter. Most of what we experience as taste depends upon our sense of smell.
