A rush of caffeine in the morning is a special thing. It gives you a little extra pep in your step and gets you ready for the day. But the benefits of luxury coffee don’t end there. There is a wealth of research demonstrating the health benefits of coffee.
However, it’s important to remember that coffee alone cannot prevent, cure or diagnose diseases or ailments. It’s always advisable and wise to consult a doctor or medical professional regarding your health.
Coffee Alleviates Depression
Who knew bitter coffee could have such sweet effects? Research shows that coffee can help prevent mild to moderate depression, which affects roughly 15 percent of people in high-income nations. Scientists are still investigating the reasons why. One hypothesis is that caffeine helps moderate adenosine levels which are often adjusted during sleep cycles; thus preventing normal cellular responses leading to a lack of energy or motivation.
Stick with Alkaline Water
Luxury coffee pods from Caffè di Artisan use alkaline water, which boasts a number of health benefits ranging from immune system support to a reduction of headaches. How is alkaline water different from “normal” water? The pH level is higher and thus less acidic. Because of this, advocates believe it can neutralize the acid in your coffee. This means less tummy aches after your cup of morning Joe – which some people believe is caused by acidic (non-alkaline) coffee.
Coffee Improves Energy & Memory
We all know that coffee makes you feel more alert, but that rush isn’t a placebo; it’s a well-documented benefit. Studies show that a regular intake of moderate levels of caffeine can improve energy, memory, vigilance, reaction times, productivity, and general cognitive functions. Coffee makes rote task more enjoyable and complex tasks more doable.
Caffeine Protects Against Alzheimer's Disease & Dementia
So, we know that coffee and caffeine improve short-term memory. But did you also know coffee has a beneficial effect on long-term cognitive acuity? Science finds that caffeine intake can protect individuals against Dementia and Alzheimer's disease, both of which are forms of neurodegeneration. Healthcare professionals hope future studies will help them better understand the relationship between caffeine and brain health.
Coffee Lowers the Risk of Parkinson's
The second most common neurodegenerative disease, behind Alzheimer’s, is Parkinson’s disease. While there is no known cure, studies show that coffee drinkers have a much lower risk of developing Parkinson’s – as much as 30 to 60 percent!
Luxury Coffee Affords a Longer Life

It is also a fantastic source of antioxidants and beneficial compounds your body needs to function. Perhaps this is why coffee drinkers are less likely to die from infections, injuries, respiratory diseases, diabetes, strokes, heart disease, and a litany of other ailments.
