Entry #6: Beans of Success


Welcome back!

If you're reading this in the morning, there is a 95 percent chance you have a cup of coffee next to you. Today, we are going to talk about 5 reasons coffee is an important and some might say vital part of becoming a successful human being. 

Now, I'm not talking about a venti (large) caramel frapuccino with 5 shots of your life is boring, calorie increasing chocolate chips, and you can't forget that espresso shot to get you HYPED to go binge-watch Netflix while you get a little closer to death. 

No... I'm talking about a simple cup of black coffee. This is purely based on my own opinion, if you drink $5 Starbucks coffee then good on you, I guess. If you enjoy the simple things in life like drinking a cup while getting ready for a hard day of work, or on a Sunday evening in late October before an assignment is due, then read these 5 benefits that a classic cup of joe can do for you. 


*If you understand the reference from the GIF, you might have a binge-watching problem and should seek compensation.


1. Decrease your risk of Type-2 Diabetes

Type 2 diabetes is a condition which occurs when your body either doesn’t produce enough insulin or it resists insulin. Many studies point to a decreased risk of Type 2 Diabetes with daily coffee consumption. One Harvard study even found that a person’s risk for Type 2 Diabetes decreased by 9% with every daily cup of coffee they consumed. 

2. Helps your workouts

Research suggests that caffeine intake prior to a workout helps improve your performance and train longer and harder. Drink a cup in the morning, workout BEFORE you eat breakfast. Studies have been done showing that in men, those who workout before eating in the morning can burn twice the amount of fat than those who workout after they eat.

3. Protects your liver

If you are like me and celebrate on the weekends after a long work/school week with a healthy amount of alcohol consumption (1 drink per hour followed by an hour of drinking water and an episode of Cops to remind you the dangers of alcohol, of course) then this might be a life saving tip. Coffee drinkers have a decreased risk of cirrhosis of the liver, scarring of the liver which can lead to liver failure in some cases. Drinking just 2 cups per day has been shown to reduce the risk of cirrhosis by as much as 43%.

4. Reduces risk of stroke

15 million people A YEAR suffer a stroke. Your daily cup of joe' can cut your risk of stroke. Data from several studies has suggested that drinking at least 2 cups of coffee a day can decrease your risk of stroke by up to 14% when compared to not drinking any coffee at all.

5. Helps you look really, really cool

Who is the epitome of cool? That's right, Elvis. Thank you, thank you very much.

  1. yes i love my coffee in the morning!! I can never go a day without coffee and If I don't have my morning coffee, I feel like my day isn't going to feel right. It helps me get up in the morning because I look forward to that coffee and it makes me feel like I can start my day with some energy.
