The Healthy Side of Your Morning Coffee
Origins of Coffee
While the origins of coffee find their roots in the Ethiopian Highlands, coffee didn’t really become more than an amusing berry shrub, until the 16th century, when Arabian traders catapulted it to rock star status throughout the region of the Middle East
While the origins of coffee find their roots in the Ethiopian Highlands, coffee didn’t really become more than an amusing berry shrub, until the 16th century, when Arabian traders catapulted it to rock star status throughout the region of the Middle East. The traders popularized drying, roasting, and brewing these seeds in a way that is recognizable to coffee drinkers today. It is from the port of Mocha in Yemen, a primary shipping city, which is why mocha, a rich chocolate sauce with coffee essence is associated with coffee today. Eventually, the bean made its way to Europe. coffee seduced all who encountered it, spreading to and throughout the new world in a blaze of political intrigue, transatlantic imperialism, human exploitation, and illicit, politically deadly romance. Coffee, in its many incarnations, has managed to become a nearly ubiquitous substance in the modern, Western world.

Yes, Caffeine is a stimulant, and in the history of the species, it is the most commonly consumed psychoactive drug. A number of substances that are common today were originally cultivated because they possessed this, and other, mildly addictive chemical namely coffee, tea, cacao, and kola nuts (from which we originally derive the term “Cola” in Western society.) When we consume caffeine, it blocks the uptake of Adenosine, an inhibiting neurotransmitter. By blocking it, caffeine actually increases neuronal firing and the release of neurotransmitters like norepinephrin and dopamine. This increases energy, memory retention, cognitive functions such as reaction time and vigilance, and improves your mood.
