17 secrets about coffee you didn't know

Do you have the habit of getting up early and having a cup of coffee to feel refreshed? If you love coffee so much that it is not just a refreshing drink for you, but an indispensable part of your daily life and a comfort in your life, I believe these magical coffee secrets can make you love it a little more deeply. For those friends who are not so fond of coffee, perhaps they can start from this post and write a story about coffee.

1. Actually, you don't need to drink such a big cup of coffee in the morning.

Your body naturally produces a hormone called cortisol that helps you feel alert and awake. This is released based on your circadian sleep pattern. When you wake up in the morning, cortisol levels are highest, so there's no need to consume extra caffeine at this time.

2. Coffee doesn't actually dehydrate you.

Good news! Caffeine was once thought to be a good thing for diuresis, but this is actually not the case. Unless the intake is too large (more than 500 to 600 mg per day, or two cups of coffee). In fact, studies have shown that when a person drinks a caffeinated beverage, urine output is not significant. So, as long as you enjoy your coffee in moderation, there is nothing to worry about.

3. Like most great discoveries, the magical power of coffee was first discovered in sheep.

According to legend, Ethiopian goat herders first became aware of the effects of caffeine when they noticed their goats dancing after coffee berries.

4. Coffee can help you live longer and healthier.

Coffee contains a lot of antioxidants (it is the largest source of antioxidants in the Western diet!) which help the body fight chemicals called "free radicals." As a result, coffee drinkers have a lower incidence of Parkinson's disease, diabetes and heart disease.

5. Coffee contains very important nutrients that the human body needs.

Each cup of coffee contains 11% of the daily needs of the human body, riboflavin (vitamin B2), 6% of pantothenic acid (vitamin B5, 3% of manganese and potassium, 2% of niacin and magnesium. After drinking a cup of coffee, it is just like taking a lot of vitamins and nutritional tablets.

6. Here comes the effect that girls like most: drinking coffee helps burn fat.

Studies have shown that drinking caffeine can speed up your metabolism by 3 to 11%. This is one of the few chemicals that can achieve this effect, which actually helps you burn fat, so drink up your coffee!

7. All coffee on the planet is produced in an area known as the "Coffee Belt".

The Coffee Belt includes all areas with the necessary coffee growing conditions. Since the plants obviously need plenty of sunlight and warmth, the Coffee Belt is also a very good tropical resort. Come on a sweet date with coffee with your suitcase.

8. Generally speaking, iced coffee is more expensive because it requires more resources.

From plastic cups to napkins, iced coffee requires more resources to brew, so in the same store, iced coffee will always be more expensive than hot coffee.

9. Caffeine is actually crystals.

The moral buzz you feel after drinking coffee is actually because you have ingested 0.0016-inch crystals of caffeine. So small, but not so small, it can make you feel energetic! The magical world of caffeine…

10. Coffee is actually a red berry before it is made into coffee beans.

Learn something new. Have you seen these fruits? They are all coffee berries!!! And they all grow on trees!!!

11. The effects of caffeine are released very quickly.

It only takes 10 minutes from the time you take a sip of coffee for the caffeine to start taking effect!!!

12. Coffee helps prevent Alzheimer’s and dementia.

Some studies have shown that coffee drinkers can reduce their risk of developing Alzheimer's by 65%.

13. Black Ivory Coffee is the most expensive coffee on earth. It is extracted from feces, a bit like cat feces coffee….

The most expensive coffee in the world is made from elephant dung, it is called black ivory coffee. It is about $50 a cup. Cat feces coffee is made from civet cats eating coffee beans and then using their dung. It costs $160 a pound (of coffee beans).

14. Coffee is good for your liver.

People who drink four cups of coffee a day are 80% less likely to develop cirrhosis, which is a basic condition for the occurrence of other liver diseases, so the possibility of developing liver diseases is even lower.

15. The world's first camera was used to drink coffee.

In 1991, a group of scientists at Cambridge University set up cameras on the coffee pots in their work building. They could view the footage on the Internet, so they knew when to go for coffee, and if the coffee pot was empty, they could wait. (Sure enough, lazy people change the world...)

16. In the past, coffee houses were banned in the UK because all the fashionable young people were drinking there.

In 1675, King Charles II of England banned coffee houses because he believed people would meet in coffee houses and secretly plot against his rule. (Is this… a Virgo?!)
