4 Reasons Why Good Coffee Service Is Good For Employees
People rely on their coffee to kick-start the work day, but they usually settle for whatever caffeine-generating machine is closest. If they had their choice of workplace perks, surely a coffee service carrying the sweetest scents of gourmet coffee would be at the top of their list.
Coffee is something that most employees need to get through their days. Gourmet coffee is something they crave. When you provide employees with good coffee, you are doing more than boosting their energy; you are actually nurturing their physical and mental health. Coffee has the ability to treat several serious health conditions. Here are 4 ways coffee helps the mind and body.
1. Lowers Risk of Depression
Coffee stimulates the entire nervous system. Within the nervous system, you have the magical “serotonin”, a neurotransmitter associated with mood elevation. High levels of serotonin in your body contribute to feelings of pleasure and happiness. Caffeine is said to boost these levels. Studies from the Harvard School of Public Health show that those who drink four or more cups of coffee a day have a 20 percent lower risk for developing depression than those who rarely or never drink coffee.
2. Lowers Risk of Alzheimer’s
When you’ve finished our morning coffee, your mind is more alert and your senses start to tingle with anticipation: you want to do things. This is because caffeine increases brain function. Research published in the Journal of Neurology identifies caffeine as a factor in reducing the risk of Alzheimer’s and overall dementia.

Coffee has the unbeatable power to cleanse your colon, reducing the risk of cancer, but its effect on cholesterol and sugar levels vary according to brewing technique. Unfiltered coffee, such as French press, actually elevates cholesterol because it doesn’t remove all of coffee’s oil compounds, some of which are very potent.
4. Reduces Risk of Diabetes
Coffee reduces the risk of type 2 diabetes by up to 50%. A hormone-binding protein, SHBG, regulates the biological activity of testosterone and estrogen, two of the main hormones involved in the development of type 2 diabetes. Researchers at UCLA [http://newsroom.ucla.edu/portal/ucla/why-coffee-protects-against-diabetes-190743.aspx] have found that coffee aids the SHBG protein in regulating these two hormones..
