[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]2.25 Billion cups are consumed daily worldwide.While some people drink coffee to wake up, others do it to relax, but just what happens as the coffee travels from the espresso maker and through your body?
Significant studies show that coffee does not only increase your energy levels, but it can also make you smarter. How? It all starts with caffeine, the stimulant contained by your espresso shot that gets absorbed into the bloodstream as you drink. Then, caffeine makes its way to your brain, where it blocks Adenosine, the inhibitory neurotransmitter we believe is responsible for inducing the state of sleepiness.
However, other studies and controlled human trials indicate that drinking coffee does much more than to keep you awake. Indeed, it seems that caffeine might also be responsible for the increase in norepinephrine and dopamine, neurotransmitters that can help your mind function faster and more clearly. As a result, for a short time after drinking your cup of coffee, your memory, vigilance and reaction times are improved, and so is your overall mood – all thanks to the work of caffeine.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_masonry_grid post_type=”post” max_items=”2″ element_width=”6″ orderby=”rand” grid_id=”vc_gid:1465801807438-4f82ecf1-13de-4″ taxonomies=”1″][/vc_column][/vc_row]
