The properties of coffee: all you need to know

By now it’s common knowledge and it’s also been scientifically proven: coffee (obviously when drunk in the recommended doses) treats our body and our organism to a series of very interesting benefits.

Almost all the properties of coffee are derived from the unique substance contained inside the bean: caffeine. This substance is capable of stimulating several areas inside our bodies, generating positive effects on both the organs and the brain.

But let’s take a closer look!

Nutritional properties of coffee: a bomb of energy

Energy and Attention

The caffeine contained in coffee beans gives us a tremendous hand throughout the day. As well as boosting our energy levels (energising effect), it also affects several areas in the brain, for example, increasing the person’s attention span and reaction times.

Go Metabolism, Go!

Caffeine also increases the metabolic rate. This means that it can help speed up our digestion and make us lose fat more quickly.

More than just a drink

If you think that coffee is just a drink, you’re very wrong. In fact, an espresso, is also home to many other substances, such as vitamins B2, B3 and B5, manganese, potassium and magnesium, all with beneficial effects on the general wellbeing of our body.

Antioxidants

According to the latest research, coffee is full of anti-oxidants, substances that can help slow down the cellular ageing process.

But be careful. Just as for any other food or drink, here too it’s essential not to exaggerate, otherwise you risk causing damages that can outdo the benefits.

And there’s another factor for you to bear in mind: the quality of the coffee. Want to make the most of all the benefits offered by these beans? Be sure to pick a selected, certified top-quality coffee.
