To enjoy all the benefits of coffee, it's essential that it be of good quality. Coffee with defects, improper processing, and improper roasting can release acidic compounds that are harmful to your health.

Studies and research conducted by various organizations, including the American Institute for Cancer Research, the University of Southampton in the United Kingdom, and the National Coffee Association of the United States, among others, confirm that regular, moderate coffee consumption contributes to:
- Prevents the possibility of suffering from liver and endometrial cancer.
- Reduces the occurrence of heart failure by almost a third.
- Reduces the risk of dementia and type 2 diabetes.
- It reduces the chance of suffering from cardiovascular diseases by 20%.
- Increases physical performance and metabolic function by up to 11%.
Coffee is also becoming the new go-to for many athletes to boost physical performance. More and more sports supplements use caffeine as an energy booster or to increase metabolic function by up to 11%. Caffeine is a natural alternative that improves alertness and performance. If you exercise regularly, you should include coffee as your main option for your workouts.
It's important to know that coffee affects each body differently, which is why some people need more coffee than others. This fact goes hand in hand with the recommendation made by boxer and personal trainer Eneko Aranaz, who has also worked with specialty coffee for several years. He explains that it's important for each person to gradually begin experimenting with the right amount of coffee so that each body can fully benefit from all the benefits the beverage offers.
Coffee greatly contributes to a healthy lifestyle. From now on, feel free to include coffee as a fundamental beverage (whether hot or cold) in every activity you do in your daily life.
