Perks of home purcs - No waiting in line
I admit I enjoy a pot, er – I mean, a cup of coffee daily. I love everything about my ritual. The early morning aroma alerts my senses and gives me focus. Having a cup of coffee first thing of the morning wakes me up and gets me going but in a relaxing way. It’s my start to being productive. Every morning, it’s just me and the bean, plotting and planning my tasks for the day.
My affection for coffee is not unusual. Statistics say Americans consume 400 MILLION cups of coffee per day. There are health benefits of coffee. Many nutrients found in the coffee bean survive the percolation process. Packed with antioxidants and vitamins such as riboflavin, magnesium, and potassium, coffee can help lessen depression, promote a healthy heart and reduce the risk of developing type 2 diabetes, Parkinson’s disease, Alzheimer’s disease and liver disease. Plus, it’s great for the kidneys. Since coffee has caffeine, the beverage can make you feel less tired. It’s important to point out that even with the added benefits of coffee, it should be consumed in moderation.
