15 Surprising Facts and Benefits of Coffee

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 ly 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 res 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 ly to get Alzheimer's disease, and, as a result, are also less ly 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 ly 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.

Do you know that nearly 35% of Indian women suffer from Polycystic

Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS)? When a woman's hormonal balance is

destroyed she suffers not only from infertility but also have

weight gain, acne, hair loss or even excessive hair growth. She may

also be easily prone to Insulin Resistance, high blood pressure and

cholesterol, and heart disease.

If you are a PCOS patient next to taking medications you also need

to watch what you eat in order to prevent unwanted weight gain and

resultant problems. But how will you know what to eat and what not

to? That's what we are here for! Here are a few healthy diet tips

for PCOS patients to follow.

1# A big yes to healthy fats. Olive oil, coconut oil and ghee can

be used in moderation. Unsaturated oils like flaxseed oil, olive

oil, macadamia oils and walnut oil are great. Enjoy stir fried

vegetables and fresh salads in these oils. Also take Omega 3 fish

oils.

2# No to refined and starchy carbs. Reduce white flour, bread,

pasta etc. Cut down potatoes and sugars. Since research says that

higher intake of whole grains may reduce insulin sensitivity, cut

down on whole grains a bit. Women with irregular periods are

advised 40% carbs while those with regular periods may limit it

within 50%. Take non starchy vegetables, fruits with more of

berries. Fruits should always be accompanied by proteins!

3# Eggs, nuts, and lean meat (fish and chicken) will ensure healthy

proteins. Dairy products should be limited.

4# Low glycemic foods like soya, linseed, green peas, carrots,

eggplant, broccoli, beans, cauliflower, lettuce, mushrooms, sweet

corns, sweet potatoes, lentils are advised.

5# And, finally, the mantra,"drink more water". Water regulates

your hormonal levels by eliminating the excess hormones.

Keep in mind that according to experts losing even 5% of the body

weight will be helpful to PCOS patients.

Exercises for Herniated Disc Relief ts

When a soft central portion of the spine bulges out causes its area, that's called a herniated disc. With rest and reduced heavy and rash movements, most patients with herniated disc gets better within just a week but light exercises could lessen the symptoms and relieve you from pain.

Backwards Lean Exercise

If you're suffering from a herniated disc, backwards lean exercise is a kind of exercises you definitely have to do.

1.       Start with your standing position and hands on the hips.
2.       Keep your back aligned and straight as you lean back slowly.
3.       Keep on going as long as it's comfortable and hold it for 5 seconds.
4.       Go back to your starting position steadily, do the process for 5 repetitions.
5.       Discontinue if it becomes extremely painful for you.

Downward Dog Exercise

If you do yoga, this stretch is familiar to you and you know that it's a good way to be relieved from pain.

1.       Start with lying on your stomach, arms bent with your hands just beside your shoulders.
2.       Then keep your legs aligned on the floor as you lift your upper body off the floor slowly.
3.       Lift until your arms are outstretched and your back is curved.
4.       Hold the position for 5 seconds, go back to the starting position and rest.

Do the whole process for 5 times

Back Elongating Exercise

This one lessens the pressure on the affected area to reduce the pain.

1.       Do the upright position with your arms resting on your sides.
2.       Stretch your arms in front of you as you bend forward.
3.       The stretch shouldn't feel more painful than your herniated disc, if it does stop doing the stretching.
4.       Maintain the focus on back muscles elongating as you hold it for 2 seconds.
5.       Go back to the starting position and repeat for 10 times.

If the symptoms persists, consult a specialists like chiropractor or therapists that can give you a better recommendation to relieve you from the pain of a herniated disc.
