Things You Didn’t Know About Coffee
You can die by coffee! It has been determined by experts that if you are able to knock back up to 100 cups one after the other it could cause a fatal heart attack or some sort of caffeine related seizure. However, drinking 100 cups of coffee would be very difficult to achieve as the actual amount of time it would take to drink 100 cups of coffee would probably mean that the total amount of coffee consumed would only cause you to lose sleep, possibly for a couple of nights!
Coffee is good for you! Among the contents of coffee are a variety of important anti-oxidants, these are good for the body and particularly the digestive system so at around 1 or 2 cups per day it can be beneficial, it's the same as you might find in tea, beans, bananas or corn.
Coffee is the new painkiller! Studies have proven that small amounts of caffeine can encourage the discharge of endorphins which can block sensory neurones to pain; this has only been proven to work in muscular pain from exercise and not in any other forms of inflicted pain.
There is caffeine in decaf! It's only marginal but a small amount of caffeine actually exists in decaffeinated coffee. But don't dump your evening cappuccino as you would have to consume up to 10 cups of decaf to get the amount in one cup of ordinary coffee.
Coffee saves you going to the gym! Despite other health issues, coffee does not actually contain any calories; the natural side effect of hyperactivity is also a good fat-burner. But don't assume you will keep your figure if you fill up on double-grande-latte-mocha-chinos as this bears no significance on what you add to coffee.
Coffee is good for your skin! Since it contains anti-oxidants, it is argued that coffee is good for your skin so many so called skin care specialists offer some sort of service. In Japan you can bathe in fermented pineapple pulp mixed with coffee beans although there is no substantial evidence to show that any of this will work.
