Let’s Connect on Social
At 787 Coffee, we love our coffee for the rich, smooth flavors and the way it helps us power through the day, it also connects with nature as we started with our coffee farm before being a coffee shop. But did you know that the magic in your cup has more to offer than just a caffeine kick? According to Harvard’s Nutrition Source, coffee comes packed with some serious health benefits. Let's break it down in a way we keep it real—simple, no fluff, just the facts you need.
1. Improves Mental Focus and Energy
We all know that cup of coffee can give us the pick-me-up we need to start the day. But did you know that it goes beyond just keeping you awake? Caffeine helps increase alertness and improve focus, which is why that first sip hits differently. Whether you're hustling at work, tackling a big project, or just trying to stay sharp through the afternoon, coffee has your back. Harvard points out that moderate coffee consumption is linked to improved cognitive function. We like to think of it as your brain’s morning workout.
2. Supports a Healthy Heart
Heart health is something we take seriously, and coffee can play a part in supporting it. According to Harvard, regular coffee drinkers may have a lower risk of heart disease and stroke. It’s all about those antioxidants that help reduce inflammation, which is a big factor in heart health. So, the next time you’re sipping your favorite 787 Coffee brew, remember—you're not just fueling your energy, you're showing your heart a little love too.
3. Lowers the Risk of Type 2 Diabetes
You may not have expected this one, but coffee could be helping lower your risk of developing type 2 diabetes. Studies have shown that regular coffee drinkers have a significantly lower risk of developing this condition. It’s those plant chemicals and polyphenols that help manage blood sugar levels, helping your body stay balanced. So, while coffee fuels you, it might just be helping your health long-term too.

4. Supports Your Liver and Reduces Inflammation
Your liver works hard, and coffee can help lighten the load. Research has shown that coffee drinkers may have a lower risk of liver disease, including cirrhosis. It’s those antioxidants and anti-inflammatory properties again. Coffee works like a bodyguard, protecting against inflammation—one of the key drivers of chronic disease. Plus, it doesn’t hurt that you’re getting all these benefits while enjoying a delicious cup from your local 787 Coffee shop.
