15 Surprising Facts and Benefits of Coffee.

Source: Amy F.

Some of us just can't make it through a day without our cup of coffee, and I can't say it's hard to see why. People call coffee "the fuel of the modern man" as a joke, but it's not really too far form the truth. Take a look at any office during the morning hours and the majority of people will be drinking coffee. While I also love tea, there is still much to be said about the benefits and the facts you never knew about coffee:

Your body doesn't need coffee when you wake up.

We naturally produce a hormone called cortisol which has a very similar effect to caffeine. This hormone is made at certain times of the day based on our circadian rhythm. It's important to identify the best time to drink your coffee so you can enjoy its maximum efficacy.

Coffee isn't as dehydrating as people think.

Caffeine was once thought to be a significant diuretic, but it's really not true unless it's consumed in large quantities. In fact, studies have shown that urine output isn't significantly changed when a person drinks a caffeinated drink or a non-caffeinated drink. So as long as you enjoy your coffee in normal amounts, there's no reason to fear dehydration.

The "powers" of coffee were discovered by goats.

According to legend, Ethiopian shepherds were the first to notice the caffeinating effects of coffee. They were herding their goats in the area where the coffee plants grow, and noticed their goats started "dancing" after eating coffee berries..

Coffee can lead to a longer and healthier life.

Coffee has lots of antioxidants that help our body fight chemicals called "free radicals". Thanks to that, coffee drinkers are at a lower risk of diseases such as Parkinson's, Type II Diabetes, and certain heart problems. However, coffee drinkers are also more likely to have unhealthy habits such as smoking and drinking alcohol. The study shown above has been adjusted to show what could happen if these other factors weren't in effect.

Coffee contains important nutrients.

A single cup of coffee contains 11% of the daily recommended amount of vitamin B2, 6% for vitamin B5, 3% of Manganese and Potassium, and much more. As long as you drink good coffee, with no added chemicals or too much sugar, you're doing your body a favor.

Coffee can help you burn fat.

Studies have proved that caffeine can increase your metabolism by 3 to 11%. It's one of the few natural chemicals that has the power to encourage the process of burning fat.

All of the coffee is grown in the "The Coffee Belt."

All the regions that have the conditions needed for coffee growing are located in The Coffee Belt. The plants require lots of sunshine and warmth and the tropical belt has plenty of those.

There's a reason why iced coffee is more expensive

The resources needed for iced coffee are more numerous and more expensive than your regular coffee drink. From plastic cups, extra napkins, double brewing, and extra electricity power to make it all work. Those things add up, and so establishments charge more for their iced drinks.

Caffeine is a crystal.

The true form of caffeine isn't liquid but rather tiny 0.0016-inch crystals. As small as they are, they still have a powerful energizing effect on us.

Coffee beans were once red berries.

Those red berries in the picture are the coffee berries, they grow on trees and from them we get the coffee beans we need to make our favored drink.

Caffeine kicks in quickly.

It takes as little as ten minutes for you to start feeling the effects of caffeine after you take a sip of coffee. It's one of the fastest effecting foods we eat and drink!

Coffee can help prevent dementia and Alzheimer's.

Several studies have shown that people who drink coffee are up to 65% less likely to get Alzheimer's disease, and, as a result, are also less likely to suffer from dementia.

The most expensive coffee on Earth is made from poop.

The most expensive coffee types in the worlds are made from beans that have been digested. Black Ivory costs $50 per cup and is made from elephant poo. Luwak, aka civet, coffee is made by feeding coffee beans to mongoose, it costs $160 per pound.

Coffee is great for your liver.

People who drink four cups of coffee a day are 80% less likely to develop cirrhosis, a condition that develops from several diseases affecting the liver. However, four cups of coffee are a lot so don't drink that much, even at smaller amounts coffee can still help protect your liver.

The first webcam in the world was invited for coffee.

The first known use of a webcam dates back to 1991, in the University of Cambridge. Scientists set a camera on their coffee pot and streamed the footage live on the web so that they would be able to see if the pot was empty or not. The picture above was actually taken by that first camera, and we should all be very happy that lazy people who want coffee exist in our world.

Coffee houses were once banned in England.

In 1675, King Charles II banned coffee shops and issued closing warrants, because he thought people were meeting in coffee houses to conspire against him.

Caffeine improves your performance when working out.

Another benefit of caffeine is that it increases your levels of adrenaline and releases fatty acids from fat tissues.. This leads to better physical performances by those who consume caffeine before working out.

7 Overlooked Lower Back Pain Remedies

The 7 remedies and tricks we list in this article all take very little of your time, can be easily done at home and all work together to prevent and decrease lower back pain.

1. Stretch When You Just Get Up

This may sound silly, we know, but it really works. Lean in your morning stretches and spend a few minutes raising your arms over your head, bending forward and flexing and extending your arms and legs. This takes only a few minutes, but has several benefits for your aching back:

Increases flexibility in the muscles and joints, making them ready to face the challenges of daily life.
Decompresses the joins and removes tension from your spine.
Improves blood circulation.
Has a stress-reducing effect.

All four of these aspects are essential for your back's health and will ensure you recover and prevent future episodes of lower back pain.

2. Try Arnica

These yellow flowers are called arnica, and they have been used as a homeopathic remedy to treat muscle pain, swelling, minor injuries, and bruising for millennia. Creams and gels containing arnica are widely available, and these can be applied directly onto the skin.

Arnica has been proven to reduce pain and stiffness in osteoarthritis patients, but it has also been suggested to be as effective as ibuprofen in reducing joint and muscle pain, especially when combined with massage.

3. Don't Rest For More Than a Few Days

Many people make the mistake of lying in bed for a week or even more when they experience lower back pain, but that's not the best strategy for the vast majority of cases, as you need to exercise and stretch your muscles and tendons to get them working as normal.

If you experience a lot of pain, you can absolutely stay in bed for the first 3 days, but after that, try to gradually return to a more active lifestyle: take short walks, go swimming or try to do some stretching, for example. Physical activity will help you recover faster and if you do it regularly, it can even prevent future pain. Core-strengthening exercises are especially beneficial for lower back pain, as a strong core can relieve the pressure in the lower back.

4.. De-Stress Using Fragrant Oils

It's clear that straining your lower back and lifting heavy things can cause lower back pain, but the primary cause of lower back pain is actually stress, so it's key to address your mind, and not only your body during your recovery from lower back pain. And while mindfulness meditation, yoga, and similar techniques are all beneficial, they typically take a lot of time and just aren't for everyone.

One effortless method of de-stressing and flooding your brain with beneficial endorphins, which also have pain-relieving properties, by the way, is through the use of relaxing fragrant oils. Burning a candle or using an essential oil diffuser with such smells as rose, lavender or ylang-ylang (or any combination of these) has been proven to have relaxing, anti-anxiety and antidepressant capabilities.

12 Fantastic Fat-Burning Foods

On the quest to create the perfect fat-burning diet, there are a number of obstacles in the way. One of the biggest ones are non-fat foods, which should actually be avoided because they are usually high in sugar and other additives. Here are some great and mostly natural ways to fight fat that can be easily and effortlessly be integrated into your daily diet.

1. Greek Yogurt

This tangy and filling yogurt is praised for a number of its health benefits, one of them being its fat-burning powers. Greek yogurt contains higher than normal levels of protein, which stays in the stomach longer to keep you feeling full and satisfied. The protein not only suppresses your feelings of hunger, but your body burns more calories digesting protein than carbs. Try and buy the low-fat, low-sugar or non-fat renditions to maximize the fat-burning properties.

2. Quinoa

A grain that hails from dryer climates in South America, quinoa is a great way to get your carbs into your slimming diet. The grain has about 8 grams of protein that fights off hunger and 5 grams of fiber in just one cup. Quinoa is a great substitute for rice or pasta, and is just as easy to make! It also contains nutrients like iron, zinc, selenium and vitamin E that are important for any balanced diet.

3. Cinnamon

It's not secret that this popular and full flavor spice is one of the healthiest out there. Cinnamon is noted for its ability to stabilize the blood sugar, which could curtail appetite, especially in people with diabetes. Although the taste may be overwhelming for some, gradually adding it to your diet, either at breakfast or in your favorite desert is a great way to sweeten things up without adding extra calories.

4. Hot Peppers

You may not be a fan of hot peppers, but their fat burning qualities are remarkable. Hot peppers contain a compound called capsaicin that curbs your appetite and can speed up your metabolism for a short time. Although hot peppers probably don't have a significant impact on weight loss, many nutritionists and doctors believe that when you eat spicy foods, including hot peppers, you tend to eat less.

5. Grapefruit

A favorite for a light breakfast or healthy snack, grapefruits do not actually burn fat, but are so filling that you are sure to feel satisfied for a few hours. Grapefruits not only taste great and have almost a cleansing feel to them, they are super low in calories and high in good types of soluble fiber. So eating grapefruit for breakfast or drinking a glass of fresh-pressed grapefruit juice before a meal is sure to help you pack on fewer calories during the day.

6. Watermelon

A summertime treat, watermelons are high in sugar, but also water content so they take up more room in your stomach. When you eat enough watermelon, your body sends out signals that it can't take in anymore food and you feel less hungry. But sugar and water aren't the only things watermelon has in store; it is rich in an antioxidant called lycopene, which has been shown to prevent some common cancers, and is a great source of vitamin C too. Just watch out on how much and how often you eat watermelon because it is high in sugar.

7. Sweet Potatoes

Sweet potatoes are the regular potatoes lost and often forgotten cousin. When you order a loaded baked potato at a restaurant, you are just asking to pack on the pounds with the sour cream, cheese and bacon bits. Instead, try eating a sweet, delicious and filling sweet potato that are low in calories and full with great nutrients like potassium, beta carotene, vitamin C and loads of fiber.

8. Eggs

Although eggs have been tabooed as a high cholesterol food, they are actually one of the healthiest foods, when eaten proportionately, that you can add to your daily diet. Certain studies suggest that eating protein, especially eggs, in the morning will keep you hungrier than if you ate a carb-loaded meal. One egg contains only 75 calories, but also has 7 grams of protein and other important nutrients that you need to keep your body strong.

9. Oatmeal

If one thing is for certain about oatmeal, eating it in the morning will keep you feeling fuller longer. It is also rich in a slew of healthy benefits such as: fiber, whole-grain oats, water, and its hot. According to most nutritionists, hot foods are better to eat when you are on a diet because they take longer to eat, and because they usually contain a lot of liquid that will help you feel full. Oatmeal is also simple and easy to make, so don't buy the pre-made kind that is usually full of sugars and other additives. Instead, make your own and sweeten with cinnamon (another fat-fighting food mentioned above), nutmeg or honey.

10. Vinegar

Adding vinegar to your salad dressing may actually help fight fat cells, according to recent research. Although the studies have yet to be confirmed, it is believed that vinegar may have ingredients that help the body break down fat. It is also full of flavor and makes your salads taste more satisfying, so you don't go back for more. Also, it is calorie free!

11. Nuts

Eating nuts is a great way to curb hunger between meals and they are full of tons of great nutrients! An average nut is high in protein, fiber and heart-healthy fats that can promote weight loss and improve cholesterol levels. It is important to buy nuts that are not salted or roasted, because they are usually soaked in oil that piles the fat back on. Having a handful of nuts daily is a great way to control how much you eat at meals!

12. Beans

Most people shy away from beans because their high carbohydrate content makes them feel sluggish and tired. Well, the belief that beans are a carbohydrate is actually a myth! They are a vegetable, a protein and a great source of fiber that should not be missed in your daily diet. They also help keep you full longer and have very few calories. Beans are a great addition to soups and salads, or they can be mashed up and used as a dip.
