According to research, drinking coffee every four hours by consuming 75 milligrams of caffeine or the equivalent of one cup of coffee, can result in a sustained pattern of mood swings throughout the day. Researchers at the University of Catania in Italy reviewed that lifestyle choices such as a good diet and regular exercise can improve mood.
Assistant professor at the University of Catania’s Faculty of Medicine, Giuseppe Grosso says there is evidence to suggest that micronutrients in coffee can travel from the blood to the brain, and aid the body’s neuroinflammatory response and the formation of new neurons in the brain.
Furthermore, from the ISIC survey, 20 percent of adults said that they felt their mood improved after drinking coffee. 29 percent said they feel more energized, while 21 percent said coffee helps them feel more alert and concentrated.
The aroma of coffee is also believed to eliminate bad mood, and is even believed to relieve stress.
