How drinking coffee can benefit your health and improve your life
There’s nothing quite like a good cup of coffee. For many, it is an essential morning ritual, the taste and smell acting much like a warm hug. But what makes a good coffee taste even better is if it’s also good for your health (oh, and if it’s a Bushido cup of coffee, but we’ll get into that).
Coffee has been enjoyed by humans since the 15th century. During this time, there has been much speculation about its impact on health, in the past being associated with some health risks.
However, the narrative has very much changed in recent years due to an increasing amount of research pointing to the incredible health benefits of coffee.
Let’s take a look at some of the ways that coffee can improve your health.
1. COFFEE MAY HELP YOU TO LIVE LONGER
According to Harvard, consumption of 3 to 5 standard cups of coffee daily has been consistently associated with a reduced risk of several chronic diseases. Drinking coffee may lower the risk of death from conditions including heart disease and stroke.
2. COFFEE CAN IMPROVE YOUR MENTAL HEALTH
The simple act of taking time to brew and enjoy a great cup of coffee in turn helps to decrease stress levels. The Bushido way of experiencing coffee is inspired by Japanese practices of fortitude, respect and harmony, instilling a sense of calm into your every day. What’s more, coffee is often enjoyed in the company of loved ones – these simple moments of sharing stories over a cup do wonders for the mind and soul. In Japan, time together is never time wasted but time invested. Discover Bushido coffee and enhance the little moments that make a big difference.
3. COFFEE CAN BOOST YOUR METABOLISM
Research has pointed to evidence that drinking coffee helps you to burn fat by increasing your metabolic rate. As a result, researchers have suggested that caffeine could be used to combat obesity, although more research is needed on this.
4. COFFEE CAN INCREASE ENERGY AND PERFORMANCE
Drinking coffee has been associated with a higher level of energy and alertness due to the caffeine within it. When you take a sip of coffee, it is absorbed into the bloodstream and travels to the brain where it ignites particular neurons which may improve energy, cognitive function, memory and mood. Amazing, right?
It goes without saying that coffee should be consumed in moderation. Overall, we have seen how coffee is a concoction of fantastic potential health benefits.
BUT WHICH COFFEE IS THE BEST?
It is important to note something which Harvard states: what defines a cup of coffee is the type of bean used, how it is roasted, the amount of grind, and how it is brewed. Inspired by the Japanese dedication to quality, Bushido’s barista-grade coffee beans, ground coffee and instant coffee are simply the best. We use the top 20% premium grade Arabica beans which are gently harvested to protect the flavour before being roasted in four stages to capture the richest tastes.
Bushido is not just about the coffee itself. It’s also about the process of creating the perfect cup. It’s a ritual that deserves care and attention at every stage, from growing and harvesting to brewing to taking that first sip.
