Coffee and Health: Myths, Truths and Benefits

Hello coffee lovers! ☕ Did you know that coffee is not only tasty, but also has many positive effects on our body and mind? 💪 In today's blog, we will delve deeper into the relationship between coffee and health, reveal the truths and dispel the myths circulating about this popular drink. Read on to discover all the benefits coffee can bring to your life! 👇

Health benefits of coffee:

Coffee is more than just a pleasant morning indulgence – it is a rich source of antioxidants that help fight free radicals in the body. 💚 Moderate consumption of coffee can bring many benefits, such as:

Improving cognitive functions 🧠 and increasing concentration.

Stimulating digestion and helping to regulate body weight. ⚖️

Reducing the risk of developing chronic diseases , such as Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's disease and type 2 diabetes. 🩺

Myth or truth?

Myth: Coffee dehydrates the body.

Truth: Although coffee acts as a mild diuretic, moderate consumption does not cause dehydration, as the fluid intake from drinking coffee compensates for the loss. 💧

Myth: Coffee causes insomnia.

Truth: Caffeine can affect sleep, but this is especially true if you drink coffee in the late afternoon or evening. 🌙 If you drink coffee in the first half of the day, the probability of insomnia is small. 😴

Arabica and Robusta:

When choosing coffee, it is important to understand the difference between the two most common types of coffee - Arabica and Robusta. 💡

Arabica: Popular for its milder, more complex flavor with a lower level of bitterness. Arabica contains between 0.8% and 1.5% caffeine by weight, which is less than Robusta. Due to the more demanding cultivation and refined taste notes, Arabica is of higher quality and more expensive. 💎 If you appreciate refined taste and quality, Arabica is the right choice for you. 😍

Robusta: Contains more caffeine (between 1.7% and 2.7% by weight), which gives it a stronger and more bitter taste. 🌿 Due to its greater resistance to pests, Robusta is more affordable, but less complex in taste notes. It is often used in espresso blends for its rich flavor and thick crema. ☕💥
