Confess for coffee: coffee is not addictive

There is no doubt that coffee has an effect on people's body and mind. When we read the toxicology book, we will find that it reads: "according to the current understanding, caffeine first acts on the cortical layer of the central nervous system, reducing feelings of fatigue and drowsiness by improving wakefulness, attention, and communication. The impulse of the human body and the desire to talk will be gently increased, which will promote more need for social interaction. Overall, this good feeling translates into a passion, so much so that drinking coffee can become an unforgettable habit-but there is no obvious risk of addiction. In other words, this habit can be self-controlled. " How fascinating such a medical description is! It's like saying, "Coffee can wake you up and put you in a good mood-don't you want a cup?"

But at the same time, coffee may also bring some kind of dependence. This addiction becomes apparent when coffee drinkers want to reduce their coffee consumption or stop drinking coffee at all. At the latest, after drinking the last cup of coffee and not drinking it since, some symptoms will appear, such as headaches, tiredness, and often even a slight feeling of nausea-an obvious sign of addiction. These symptoms will fade away after a few days.

The so-called "weekend migraine" often occurs after you stop drinking coffee. The disease mainly patronizes people who often drink coffee at work, don't drink coffee or caffeinated drinks when they get home. Therefore, some people will seek family therapy because of possible family problems. A family problem means that you don't have a headache because you are not with your family at work. When you are with your family, your head hurts inexplicably.) Of course, it can be predicted that this kind of family therapy is certainly ineffective. So what is the reason why people are duty-bound to maintain their taste for this drink in the face of grinning headaches? It so happens that the tea-loving Japanese have solved the mystery: the refreshing feeling people feel comes from caffeine, which increases serotonin-activating components, and serotonin acts as a messenger in the nervous system-in short, to convey good news. Our spiritual comfort is closely associated with serotonin. Therefore, depression is often associated with serotonin imbalance. When serotonin levels drop, so does the mood. The amount of serotonin is related to the intensity of light, which explains why some people must have a cup of coffee in the morning in order to "get into a state". When the light weakens again, it's time for us to have coffee in the afternoon. From a biochemical point of view, we actually artificially lengthen the day.

So it is no coincidence that people in Scandinavia consume the highest amount of coffee in Europe. On the contrary, residents of the Mediterranean region consume the lowest amount of coffee in Europe. In order to feel the emotional effects of coffee in the bright sunshine of southern Europe, it is necessary to increase the concentration of coffee-which led to the birth of espresso pots. In Sweden, people need lighter coffee because it prolongs the feeling of the day. Because of this, Swedes consume several times more coffee per capita than Italians or Greeks. Therefore, instead of calling coffee a black poison, it is better to think of it as a gentle medicine that has few side effects and can resist depression.
