Coffee- The most amazing beverage in the world!

Coffee is one of the most popular beverages in the world, and for good reason. It can provide a range of health benefits that make it an ideal choice for those looking to improve their overall health and fitness. From helping to boost energy levels to aiding in fat loss, drinking coffee can be a great way to get healthy and stay healthy. In this article, we'll explore some of the health benefits associated with drinking coffee and how it can help you reach your fitness goals.

Coffee  contains caffeine, a central nervous system stimulant that is known for its ability to fight fatigue and increase energy levels (1Trusted Source).

This is because caffeine blocks the receptors of a neurotransmitter called adenosine, and this increases levels of other neurotransmitters in your brain that regulate your energy levels, including dopamine (2Trusted Source, 3Trusted Source).

One study found that consuming caffeine increased time to exhaustion during a cycling exercise by 12% and significantly reduced subjective levels of fatigue in participants (4Trusted Source).

Another benefit of caffeine is increased focus.  Caffeine has been proven to increase focus and performance in sport, allowing you to shred harder and push deeper!

According to some research, coffee could alter fat storage and support gut health, both of which may be beneficial for weight management (13Trusted Source).

For example, one review of 12 studies concluded that higher coffee consumption could be associated with decreased body fat, especially in men (14Trusted Source).

In another study, increased coffee intake was linked to decreased body fat in women (15Trusted Source).

Furthermore, one study found that people who drank one to two cups of coffee per day were 17% more likely to meet recommended physical activity levels, compared with those who drank less than one cup per day (16Trusted Source).

Higher levels of physical activity could help promote weight management (16Trusted Source). We all know that it is easier to get after it when we have had our coffee!

One of the coolest benefits of coffee is that coffee could help extend longevity, thanks to its multitude of potential health benefits.

For example, one review of 40 studies concluded that drinking two to four cups of coffee daily was associated with a lower risk of death, regardless of factors like age, weight status, and alcohol consumption (27Trusted Source).

Similarly, another study in 1,567 people found that drinking caffeinated coffee was linked to a lower risk of death after 12 and 18 years of follow-up. Furthermore, drinking at least one cup of coffee per day was also associated with a lower risk of death from cancer (28Trusted Source).

There are clearly many health benefits of drinking coffee.  The reality is that coffee is delicious, especially when it is roasted slowly, at high elevations.  There is only one roaster in the world roasting coffee slow, at high elevation- Rocky Mountain Roastery!
