Coffee & Health: Surprising Perks in Every Cup

Coffee isn’t just a morning ritual—it’s packed with natural compounds that can support overall well-being. Here are three science-backed reasons to savour high-quality beans like those roasted daily at Pitts Perfect Coffee.

1. A Cup Bursting with Antioxidants

Coffee is the single largest source of dietary antioxidants for many people, even outpacing fruits and vegetables in total polyphenol content.¹ These antioxidants help neutralise free radicals linked to inflammation and cell damage. Our single-origin Papua New Guinea retains an impressive antioxidant profile and delivers cane-sugar sweetness with a velvety finish—proof that healthy can taste heavenly.

2. Metabolism’s Natural Ally

Several clinical studies show caffeine can raise resting metabolic rate by 3–11 %, helping the body burn a few extra calories even at rest.² Choose a balanced medium roast such as Jolt of Joy to harness that gentle metabolic lift without the harshness found in many darker supermarket blends.

3. Sharper Focus & Brain Support

Ever notice clearer thinking after your first sip? Caffeine blocks adenosine (the neurotransmitter that signals fatigue) while boosting dopamine and norepinephrine—chemicals tied to alertness and positive mood. Observational data even link moderate coffee intake with a lower risk of neuro-degenerative diseases.³ In short, a mindful brew can keep your neurons firing and your spirits high.
