1. Coffee roasting enhance antioxidant activity. 10 minutes of roasting (coffee medium - dark) determine the optimal antioxidant activity in vitro. The effects of coffee on the human body is due to both caffeine and other substances in its composition. Caffeine is a xanthine alkaloid that can easily cross the blood-brain barrier. The central nervous system, it is competitive with adenosine that acts on its receptor, inhibiting its action and having as a consequence an increased dopaminergic activity, responsible for the stimulatory effect of caffeine. It noted that adenoziona is released in the brain as a signal of exhaustion, causing the onset of fatigue sensation and recovery behavior. So coffee does not cancel the need for sleep, but only delay it. The rapidity of the effect depends on the individual reactivity and tolerance, and is usually located within a maximum of one hour and lasts an average of 3 hours. Caffeine increase levels of epinephrine - adrenaline, possibly via different pathways of action. Long-term consumption of coffee reduces the risk of type 2 diabetes.

2. Consequently, the effect of coffee is ergogenic for increasing physical and intellectual capacity. Some studies have shown that after drinking coffee improves the memory capacity and learning, but only short term and in conditions of optimal mental focus. Improved cognitive performance seem even more as subjects are more advanced in age.

3. Frequent consumption of coffee was associated with reduced risk of colorectal cancer, but no action proved insufficient protection against breast cancer or ovarian cancer.

4. Coffee seems to have and dermoprotector effect in prolonged exposure to sunlight.

5. Coffee reduces the risk of gout uric diathesis. In high doses, caffeine can be bronchodilators, which is why coffee was used in the treatment of asthma.

6. Coffee has a diuretic effect (which antagonizes the adenosine, increasing renal blood flow and, thus, filtering) being slightly laxative.

7. Tannins in coffee may reduce the potential of cariogenetic food. Experiments in vitro have shown the effect of polyphenols to reduce bacterial enzyme activity and therefore reduction of plaque formation.

Have a nice morning with coffee!
