Coffee Delivers Surprising Paybacks!

Coffee aroma gives your brain a soothing wake-up call. Does a drink of coffee help your day start well? Just the scent can soothe frayed nerves and one whiff's often enough to reverse the woolly feeling in your brain if you didn't get enough sleep. And this is just a prelude to coffee's symphony of benefits.

Just the pleasing aroma's enough to prompt your brain to release serotonin, a chemical of well-being.

Drinking coffee delivers more advantage to body and brain than once thought. Here're surprising ways your daily java makes a difference:

Protects against breast cancer

Lowers death rate from heart disease when you drink 4 - 6 cups a day

Can decrease the risk of dementia/Alzheimer's disease (AD) later in life

Reduces risk of liver cancer
when coffee consumption is high [4 - 6 cups a day]

Drinking Decaffeinated Coffee Regularly Linked to Lower Diabetes Risk

Helps prevent cavities

Who would have guessed that a simple beverage like coffee and even it's aroma would bring so much benefit?

Here's a way you can benefit workers and growers at the same time you benefit: buy fair trade coffee.

And you can be good to the earth as you add coffee grounds to a compost pile. The grounds, relatively rich in nitrogen, provide bacteria needed energy to turn organic matter into compost.

In fact, waste coffee grounds can deliver an inexpensive, abundant, and environmentally friendly source of biodiesel fuel for powering cars and trucks.

What are you waiting for... can't you smell that cuppa now?
