coffee drink

There are few people who never drink coffee. Someone cannot imagine their life without this drink, daily habitually pouring several cups of coffee into themselves, and someone drinks half a cup only for the “anti-sleep” effect during a session or rush at work. One way or another, almost every one of us uses this drink, fortunately, there are plenty of coffee varieties and methods of preparing it. The most popular types of this drink you can find here.

Do you know how the miraculous effect of coffee associated with the caffeine contained in it was discovered? In such a distant 19th century, namely in 1819, the German chemist Friedrich Runge conducted several studies on coffee. Quite unexpectedly, he discovered the alkaloid caffeine in coffee beans. However, further research on coffee and caffeine in particular reached a result only in 1981, when the American neuroscientist Solomon Snyder determined the effect of the drink and found out why it invigorates and shakes a person so much. Snyder quite rightly divided people into two categories: those who need one small cup of coffee in the evening to stay awake, and those who do not interfere with ten cups of coffee to sleep soundly.

Caffeine research advanced further in 1996 in Australia. There, genetic scientists have identified a gene that controls the occurrence of the A2A hormone. What did it give? Australian scientists soon proved that drinking too much coffee can cause a wide variety of hallucinations. They conducted an experiment that showed that in ordinary noise, coffee drinkers distinguished a variety of musical melodies, while those who drank coffee in reasonable doses heard nothing but noise.

Therefore, before drinking another cup of coffee, think about whether it is worth it or if you can get by with a cup of tea, cocoa or juice.
