Most of us take our morning coffee for granted without knowing beans
about it. Check this colorful history and health benefits.
According to legend, sometime during the ninth century, an Ethiopian
goatherd noticed his goats dancing from one coffee shrub to another,
grazing on the cherry-red berries containing the beans. He ate a few himself
and was soon frolicking with his flock. Witnessing the shepherd’s dance, a
monk plucked berries for his brothers. It is said that by nightfall, his brothers
were uncannily happy and alert to divine inspiration.

Coffee plants, woody perennial evergreens, were first cultivated on the
Arabian Peninsula around 1100 A.D. By 1600 coffee had been introduced to
Europe, and within 50 years, coffee houses began appearing in Italy.
Settlers of the New World brought coffee to Jamestown Settlement in
Virginia and to the first villages of Canada. In the New World, coffee was first
cultivated on the Island of Martinique. Today, the coffee bean is a major
crop in South American countries, Hawaii, Indonesia, and Africa.
While medical researchers have documented that coffee can lead to the
jitters, newer studies show that the brew is high in antioxidants and may
limit the occurrence of certain cancers and chronic diseases. Caffeine has
been proven to stimulate metabolism and break up fatty acids, aiding in
maintaining proper weight.
Lifehacker is a hub of productivity
tips, tricks, and downloads. It’s
basically an archive of all the
information it would be incredibly
useful to know, but nobody ever
really teaches you. Aside from
productivity, they also cover topics
such as money-saving tips, clever
uses for household items, and so
on.
For example, did you know that
you can peel a mango in under 10
seconds? Or that there are four
lengths of naps that will benefit you
in different, very specific ways?
Check out this site – it’s terrific.
