A lot of things have been said about coffee in medical journals, in magazines and in advertising \u2013 and most people can\u2019t start their day without their morning cup of coffee, sometimes more. A lot of people use coffee for their perk-up at the end or middle of the day, and for some coffee is a perfect way to end their day before they go to sleep. You can\u2019t imagine a world without coffee, and it activates a lot of the same things in the brain that things like chocolate does.<\/p>\n

But have you ever stopped to think about the fact that coffee is actually really good for you? Drinking coffee can improve circulation, be great for your heart, keep you mentally sharp and it can even aid things in the body such as hair growth. Here are some of the health benefits of coffee for body, hair, mind and skin.<\/p>\n

1. Coffee is Bad For You… Or Is It?<\/h3>\n

A lot has been written about coffee<\/a> so far, and you can look in almost any health magazine and you\u2019ll find something that\u2019s been said about coffee and caffeine in it \u2013 though most people have come to think of coffee as something they should be avoiding if they are trying to make a switch to better health, or if they want to start being more active and losing weight: Why do most people think they should be cutting out coffee?<\/p>\n

In fact, you should be doing the complete opposite when it comes to drinking coffee \u2013 as long as you are drinking it in moderation, about three cups per day, then it will in fact prove to be good for your health instead. People have long thought coffee to be bad for your health, but more studies have been done to show that it\u2019s in fact pretty good for your health.<\/p>\n

2. Coffee Improves Circulation<\/h3>\n

The first way in which coffee can improve circulation in your body happens far, far before the coffee even enters your body \u2013 this happens while the coffee is still brewing in the cup. How many people reading this have ever held a warm, steaming cup of coffee in their hands on a freezing cold<\/a> day and noticed the relief that this can give them?<\/p>\n

Especially for people who live in cold areas \u2013 or those who work with their hands and need them to warm up fast \u2013 coffee is a great way to get their hands to warm up. This is even far before they drink it! But when you actually drink coffee, then one of the first things it will do for you is to improve your circulation \u2013 you can feel the heat spreading throughout your body after a good cup, and that\u2019s exactly why this will happen to you.<\/p>\n

3. Coffee Improves Hair Growth<\/h3>\n

This is one of the benefits of coffee and caffeine<\/a> that most people don\u2019t even think of and most people will never realize they are promoting and improving when they are drinking their daily cup or two of coffee. First, it\u2019s commonly known that drinking coffee will \u2013 in the long-term \u2013 improve hair growth, and you might find that you will be less likely to pattern baldness or hair loss later in life. If you are not a regular coffee drinker and you suddenly start drinking proper, brewed and roasted coffee, then you might find that one of the first effects that you notice in your life in the long run is that any bald spots that you might have had before start steadily filling up. Caffeine as a supplement is also very useful for hair growth, and you\u2019ll find that many shampoos for promoting hair growth tend to contain caffeine.<\/p>\n

4. Coffee is Healthy for the Heart<\/h3>\n

We have already mentioned in this article that one of the well-known benefits of caffeine and drinking coffee is that it will improve circulation \u2013 both when you are simply holding your cup to soak up some of the warmth from the mug, and when you are drinking coffee; but have you happened to wonder about just why this is said to happen in the first place?<\/p>\n

Coffee affects your circulation for the better because another benefit of drinking coffee is the fact that it is healthy for your heart. If you drink a lot of coffee you should always be careful to keep your consumption to moderate; if you drink too much coffee at one time, then it is going to cause a serious increase in your heart rate that might even lead to chest pain<\/a>. But if you only drink a little at a time, then coffee can be very great for your health in the long term.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/h3>\n

5. Coffee is Great for the Skin<\/h3>\n

Coffee has a lot of health benefits for the body that you have never thought of before now, and you should add coffee to your diet<\/a> if you want to experience the health benefits mentioned here \u2013 but you should also know that you do not necessarily need to drink coffee if you want to experience this specific health benefit. You might have realized what this benefit is by now.<\/p>\n

Caffeine \u2013 and the ingredients that are contained within coffee \u2013 have been proven to be extremely good for your skin. You might find caffeine in an ingredient within many skin creams that promise to \u201cwake up\u201d the skin when it is tired and needs some rejuvenation \u2013 for example after you have been up for the entire night and need to get rid of the bags under your eyes. If you are using it in the long term, then you will notice that it also has the benefit of making your skin look much younger.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/h3>\n

6. Coffee Helps the Hands<\/h3>\n

We have already said earlier on in this article that coffee can easily help with improving your circulation on a cold day, especially if you are someone who works with your hands. And in the same way, coffee can be directly good for your hands, too, even if you don\u2019t work with your hands for a living.<\/p>\n

The first benefit that it has is the fact that it improves your circulation<\/a> \u2013 and this alone is enough to be able to counteract a whole range of diseases and illnesses that affect the hands, such as Raynaud\u2019s Syndrome or arthritis, both which are common workplace injuries for people who spend a lifetime being active with their hands such as mechanics, writers and artists \u2013 but these diseases can affect anyone. In both cases moderate consumption of caffeine can help you \u2013 and will help your hands to warm up, circulation to improve and you to personally be able to cope.\"\"<\/p>\n

7. Coffee Can Aid Blood Pressure<\/h3>\n

If coffee can both manage to improve your circulation and help for your heart, then it should be reasonable to say that caffeine can also aid blood pressure issues, right? You would be completely right if you have thought of that already.<\/p>\n

If you are struggling from low blood pressure<\/a>, then a cup of coffee could very well help you \u2013 and in both the cases of high and low blood pressure, one or two cups of coffee a day will still give you all of the health benefits that we have included on this list \u2013 though you should remember that if you have additional heart problems that go along with your high blood pressure then you should know that you should take it easy with drinking too much coffee and should stick to moderate consumption if you actually want it to benefit your health: Moderate consumption of coffee is great, but drinking too much will be bad for you.\"\"<\/p>\n

8. Coffee is Good for the Eyes<\/h3>\n

When most people think of advice that they received for their health as young as childhood is the fact that they should always eat their vegetables, and that carrots<\/a> are great for their eyes \u2013 after all, who has seen a rabbit wearing glasses? But when it comes to the real truth about improving your health, then it has nothing to do about rabbits and glasses \u2013 though we can tell you that vegetables and carrots are, in fact, both essential to your health.<\/p>\n

But did you know that coffee can be great for your eyes too? There are many ways in which caffeine and coffee can improve your eyes \u2013 the first being the fact that caffeine will perk up the bags under your eyes if you have been up for a long time and need to look fresh again for a day at work, and coffee can also manage to improve your vision if you consume it in moderation throughout the day in the long term.\"\"<\/p>\n

9. Coffee Improves Mental Sharpness<\/h3>\n

Many over the counter health supplements that can be taken for your general health and specifically some supplements<\/a> that you take when you are in need of improving your mental sharpness will include caffeine \u2013 this also includes many of the supplements that are marketed to people as being specifically for a daily pick-up or those specifically meant for studying. This is because caffeine is well known for being able to improve your circulation, make you feel much better, improve your eyes \u2013 and improve your level of mental sharpness all at the same time.<\/p>\n

If you need to wake up and use your brain, then coffee can do the same thing for your brain that it does for your heart: Improve circulation, and at the same time you manage to get your brain to fire in ways that you did not think were possible before. This mental sharpness is why many people choose coffee to wake themselves up first thing in the morning.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/h3>\n

10. Coffee Soothes Apnea<\/h3>\n

There are many people who drink coffee to wake themselves up first thing in the morning \u2013 and this will include a large part of the population, and likely many people who are reading this. But there are just as many people out there who will instead choose to drink coffee before they go to sleep at night or even before they take a nap \u2013 and we can say that a lot of people who are doing this are doing so because of sheer instinct.<\/p>\n

If you drink coffee before bed, you don\u2019t have to worry about staying up all night \u2013 just don\u2019t make your coffee as strong as you normally would throughout the day, or make half a cup instead if you have the option; it will be great for your health, and it\u2019s been proven that it might even sooth cases of sleep apnea,<\/a> which is when you stop breathing in your sleep.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/h3>\n

11. Coffee Can Help Lung Trouble<\/h3>\n

If you have already reached this point in the article then you will have realized that a lot of what you might have thought that you know about coffee have been inaccurate: You might have thought that you need to cut down on your consumption of coffee if you want to start exercising and living a healthier life; you might have even heard that coffee can be standing in your way if you want to lose weight \u2013 but you should know that all of that is false, at least for most people.<\/p>\n

Coffee is great for your health if you don\u2019t consume too much of it in a short space of time, but gradually and throughout the day instead. And, if you have any kind of lung trouble such as asthma, then you should be able to find that caffeine and drinking coffee will be enough to open up your lungs if you feel close to an asthma<\/a> attack or feel that you might have a tight chest. \"\"<\/p>\n

12. Coffee and the Joints<\/h3>\n

We\u2019ve gone through many of the health benefits that you can get from regularly and moderately drinking coffee \u2013 but did you know that this is not by any means all of the health benefits that you can get if you drink coffee? There are still many to explore, much more than we have space for to mention in this article, though we have time for one more to include here \u2013 and that is the fact that coffee has been proven to be great for your joints as well.<\/p>\n

If you frequently experience pain in your joints<\/a> on days when it gets cold, then you will find that drinking a cup of coffee is more than enough to get the swelling in your hands to reduce \u2013 and just the physical act of holding the cup will be enough to get rid of the cold feeling and pain that you have in your hands.\r\n
