Coffee is one of the most famous drinks in the world. 

Without it, life just isn't the same for most people. 

And for some, their day hasn't even started until they gulp a few sips. 

Arguably, coffee is delicious and the rich aroma as well as the energy and alertness it offers is the main reason why people drink it. 

However, coffee has a number of health benefits too as it is packed with essential nutrients your body needs for maximum performance, such as magnesium, potassium, niacin and more. 

In fact, some research has found that coffee actually contains more antioxidants than fruit and vegetables, which are great at fighting diseases and keeping you healthy. 

And drinking coffee in the morning is not the same as having it at any other point in the day.

With that in mind, here are the top 3 reasons to drink coffee as soon as you wake up.

 

1. Jump Start Your Day

Most people find that they are sluggish and tired in the morning. 

After all, your body has been resting for around eight hours and it's now time to get up and going. 

However, by drinking coffee, you can give yourself a quick boost of energy that will help you wake up and start your day; when caffeine is released into your bloodstream, it blocks adenosine (an inhibitory neurotransmitter), which helps you feel less tired instantly. 

Moreover, studies have shown that coffee can improve your alertness and cognitive function - it boosts things like mood, energy levels, memory, reaction times and more, which means you'll be able to think more clearly and get more done throughout the day.

 

2. Improve Physical Performance 

If you're someone who likes to exercise in the morning, then coffee can be a great pre-workout drink. 

In fact, one study found that coffee can improve physical performance by up to 12%. 

Simply, the caffeine in coffee helps increase adrenaline levels, which gives you more energy and makes your body work harder, and it increases your body's ability to break down fat cells by up to 30% 

Not only that, but research has also shown that coffee drinkers have a lower risk of developing type II diabetes and heart disease - both of which can seriously impact your physical performance.

 

3. Prevent Mental Decline

As you get older, it's important to do everything you can to help prevent mental decline and keep your mind active and healthy. 

And drinking coffee is one way to do that, as research has shown that coffee drinkers have a lower risk of developing Alzheimer's disease and dementia. 

In fact, one study found that people who drank three or more cups of coffee a day were 65% less likely to develop Alzheimer's disease

Lastly, coffee is great at reducing symptoms of depression: research found women who enjoy coffee had a 20% lower risk of being depressed, and coffee drinkers are 53% less likely to commit suicide.

 

The Bottom Line

At the end of the day, we enjoy a higher quality of life by consuming a moderate amount of coffee each morning - we are more happy and motivated, have a lower risk of developing diseases and therefore life will most likely be longer. 

Consuming coffee does the body a world of good - but just like everything else in life, too much of everything is bad, so stick within the recommended daily limits.
