1. It helps elevate mood and productivity

Black coffee stimulates the nervous system, boosting the release of neurotransmitters, such as dopamine and norepinephrine called ‘happy chemicals’ that make you feel joyful and positive.

Caffeine in black coffee increases excitability in the brain, improves mood and facilitates a more productive environment by enhancing cognitive skills.

2. May work as an anti-depressant

The antidepressant effect of coffee stems from its ability to increase the amount of serotonin and dopamine in the brain, thus counteracting depression symptoms such as sadness, grief and loneliness. Additionally, coffee contains chlorogenic acid, ferulic acid, and caffeic acid.

These acids help reduce the inflammation of nerve cells that takes place in the brains of people with depression and soothes the associated discomfort and distress.

3. It improves cardiovascular health

Regular intake of black coffee may lead to an increase in your blood pressure initially, but this effect diminishes with time.

Studies have shown that drinking one to two cups of black coffee every day can reduce your risk of developing cardiovascular diseases, including stroke.

4. It improves your memory

Black coffee is known to be great for improving memory. As we grow older, our cognitive skills get affected, and we are more likely to develop memory-related diseases such as Alzheimer’s, Dementia, and Parkinson’s diseases.

Drinking black coffee regularly can help combat these by keeping your nerves active, thus enhancing brain function.

5. It is good for your liver

Your liver is a vital organ endowed with many functions of your body. Studies have shown that regular intake of black coffee lowers the level of harmful liver enzymes found in the blood. It prevents several liver problems like cancer, fatty liver, hepatitis, and alcoholic cirrhosis.

6. It helps you cleanse your stomach

Coffee is a diuretic beverage, which means that the more you consume, the more often you will urinate. Frequent urination flushes out toxins and bacteria from the body and cleans your stomach keeping you healthy.

7. It may help prevent the risk of developing cancer

Coffee is excellent for reducing inflammation in your body, which helps prevent tumour development. Studies have shown that regular consumption of black coffee may lower the risk of developing certain types of cancer such as liver cancer, breast cancer, colon cancer, and rectal cancer.

8. It is rich in antioxidants

Many health benefits of black coffee stem from its high content of antioxidants. Strong antioxidants such as Potassium, magnesium, Vitamins B2, B3, and B5, as well as manganese, are found in black coffee.

Potassium and magnesium maintain the fluid levels in our bodies and support blood pressure. The various vitamins vitalise the body’s immunity and metabolic rate.

9. It reduces cellulite

The caffeine in coffee is said to enlarge blood vessels, smoothing out dimples in the skin and making the skin tighter. Larger blood vessels mean more blood can flow through the area, so more nutrients arrive and it’s easier for the skin to get rid of toxins and thrive.

10. Decreased risk of gout

Studies have found that people who drink black coffee each day have a lower risk of gout by 57%.

Coffee contains beneficial compounds such as caffeine and polyphenols. Caffeine prevents the build-up of uric acid around body tissues. Polyphenol helps reduce the level of insulin in the blood.

Insulin and uric acid are closely related. Increased insulin sensitivity and decreased insulin levels improve the elimination of uric acid and sodium. Thus, it indirectly removes uric acid from the body by improving insulin sensitivity. The increase in antioxidants from coffee contributes to the decreased level of insulin and uric acid in the body, which trigger gout.

Benefits of coffee

Coffee has been shown to lower risks of the following conditions:

• Type 2 diabetes
• Cancer – such as endometrial cancer and aggressive prostate cancer
• Cardiovascular disease
• Strokes
• Alzheimer’s disease
• Parkinson’s disease

Coffee contains polyphenols, which are a molecule that anti-oxidant properties which are widely believed to help prevent inflammatory illnesses, such as type 2 diabetes, and anticarcinogenic (anti-cancer) properties.

As well as polyphenols, coffee contains the mineral magnesium and chromium. Greater magnesium intake has been linked with lower rates of type 2 diabetes.

The blend of these nutrients can be helpful for improving insulin sensitivity, which may help to offset the opposite effects of caffeine.

Yes, coffee helps with weight loss!

Coffee contains nutrients such as niacin, potassium, magnesium, and antioxidants which can improve digestive health, support muscle function, and lead to better heart health. It also contains caffeine, which boosts metabolism, improves energy, and can promote weight loss.

Here are some health and weight loss-related benefits of this energy-boosting drink:

Black coffee is a low-calorie beverage. Weight loss is associated with a calorie deficit, which is when you consume fewer calories than you burn. A popular way to help achieve a calorie deficit is to consume fewer calories than your usual caloric intake.

Black coffee is an ideal beverage to drink for weight loss as it contains less than 5 calories per serving (one 8-0z cup). However, it's only low-calorie if you drink it black.

"While black coffee is low-calorie, it can quickly become high in calories, sugar, and fats when different milks and sugars are added to it," Shaw says.

Caffeine boosts metabolism. Metabolism is the process in which the body breaks down nutrients and utilizes foods' calories throughout the day. Caffeine, a stimulant found in coffee, is one of the few substances that may increase your basal metabolic rate (BMR), also known as the rate at which you burn calories while resting.

A small 2018 study found that participants who drank various measures of coffee over the course of two months had greater metabolites, a product of metabolism. A higher or faster metabolism will allow you to burn more calories at rest or during physical activity, which may help lead to weight loss.

"There is a growing body of research on how coffee consumption is positively associated with BMR, however, it's important to keep in mind that we metabolize foods and beverages at different rates. Coffee may increase one person's metabolic rate but not another," Shaw says.

Caffeine may decrease feelings of hunger. Appetite is influenced by a variety of factors, including the type of food you eat, physical activity levels, and hormones. While there is not sufficient research to determine a cause-effect relationship for caffeine reducing appetite, studies have shown that it may reduce levels of ghrelin, the hormone that makes you feel hungry.

A small 2014 study found that participants increased feelings of fullness and reduced their food intake just within four weeks of drinking coffee daily based on their ghrelin levels.

"Caffeine also stimulates the satiety hormone peptide YY (PYY). More PYY means you will feel satiated and less hungry,"

1. Reduced Risk of Cancer

According to some research, drinking black coffee may lower your risk of getting certain cancers, including liver, colorectal, and breast cancer. According to WebMD, researchers think coffee’s antioxidants, which shield your cells from dangerous molecules known as free radicals, may be the cause of this.

2. Reduced Risk of Cirrhosis

Another black coffee health benefit is reduced risk of cirrhosis, which is a late stage of liver scarring. This may be caused by many forms of liver diseases or excessive alcohol consumption.

One significant study found that four or more cups of black coffee a day could cut your risk of developing alcoholic cirrhosis by as much as 80%. The Guardian also notes that individuals who drink one cup of coffee have a 20% lower risk of developing alcoholic cirrhosis compared to those who don’t.

3. Reduced Risk of Diabetes

Numerous studies indicate that consuming black coffee can reduce the risk of type 2 diabetes. According to Healthline, a thorough analysis of 28 studies involving more than 1.1 million participants discovered a definite dose-dependent relationship between coffee consumption and the risk of type 2 diabetes. This might be a result of the chlorogenic acid and high caffeine content of black coffee.

4. Improved Mood and Concentration

Since caffeine is a stimulant, coffee is known to improve mood. Studies have revealed that drinking four or more cups of coffee per day may even help lower your risk of depression. This may be due to the fact that caffeine increases dopamine levels in the brain, making you feel happier. Black coffee also gives people a boost of energy and alertness because it also contains a significant amount of caffeine.

5. Weight Management

Although there is not a direct correlation, there have been studies that seem to support the idea that drinking coffee aids weight loss. Black coffee has been found to increase your metabolic weight or the number of calories your body burns while at rest, which helps you lose weight and burn fat.

Women’sHealth reports that a 2020 study by Harvard researchers, which was published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, found that individuals who drank four cups of caffeinated coffee per day experienced a 4% reduction in body fat.

Black coffee is simply coffee with nothing added – no cream, no milk, no sweetener. When you leave out those extra ingredients, you leave out the calories, fat, and sugar that come with them. That allows you to enjoy the health benefits of coffee without additives that aren’t as good for you.

Consider this: An 8-ounce Starbucks Caramel Macchiato has 120 calories, 15 grams of sugar, and 4 grams of fat. The same amount of brewed black coffee has 2 calories, no sugar, and no fat.

There’s another possible, though minor, health benefit of black coffee. When you don’t dilute your coffee, you get the antioxidants and caffeine it contains at full strength. These components are thought to be responsible for most of coffee’s health benefits. But you’d have to add a lot of cream or sugar to weaken your coffee enough to make much difference.

And what about coffee that looks blacker because it’s made of dark-roasted beans? It might seem logical that the darker the black coffee, the more health benefits it would have. Dark roast coffee has a darker appearance and fuller-bodied flavour than light or blonde roasts. However, the jury’s out on.
