According to research coffee is not only good to get rid of a morning mood, it could also benefit our mood in the long run as caffeine supposedly works in a similar way as antidepressants. At least, that is what Harvard University scientists concluded after a 10-year study in which scientists compared the risk of depression with the coffee use of 51,000 women. The researchers found that women who consumed four or more cups of coffee a day had twenty percent less chance of a depression. Those who drank two to three cups a day saw their risk decrease with fifteen percent. The scientists think caffeine, just like antidepressants, inhibit the production of certain hormones. And men needn't to despair, last year Finnish researchers came to the same conclusion with male subjects.

AuthorI wouldn't be surprised to find out I was born with a passion for coffee. For the life of me, I can't remember not loving coffee. And by that, I don't just mean drinking it, but everything involved from its cultivation over the processing to the final product that is my loyal companion throughout the day. Archives
