6. Improved Well-being
Researchers have discovered that coffee drinking is associated with numerous positive emotions such as kindness, fulfillment and happiness. A study conducted by Harvard found that women who drank more than four cups of coffee daily were 20 percent less likely to become depressed and that drinking between two to four cups of coffee daily reduces the risk of suicide in the population by half.
The reason for this benefit is that coffee promotes the production of serotonin, noradrenaline and dopamine, acting as an antidepressant.
