COFFEE
“The best way to start your day!”
The first benefit of coffee should come as no surprise; it helps you to feel more awake and alert. One of the ways caffeine impacts the central nervous system is by blocking adenosine receptors, which are responsible for making us feel sleepy. This is why it’s not advised to drink coffee late at night, as it will make it harder to fall asleep, but it’s a lifesaver when you feel grouchy in the morning! Although you can still reap the benefits of caffeine later in the day, having food already in your system means it might take longer to feel the effects. If you need a quick pick-me-up, drink your coffee first thing in the morning before breakfast.
