Data from the Institute of Statistics and Customs show that an Albanian consumes approximately 3.1 kg of coffee per year.

Meanwhile, The Economist magazine states that the Albanian consumer prefers coffee instead of tea.

The ingredients of both juices make them good for health, especially against heart disease, diabetes, liver problems and others.

In terms of stimulation, coffee is stronger than tea.

This happens because of the high level of caffeine, experts say.

Additionally, depending on the type, coffee (as long as you don't overdo it) is good for brain health as well.

The role of coffee in brain health and learning abilities

Studies, which AgroWeb.org refers to, suggest that coffee can protect the brain from problems with understanding and improve thinking skills.

Canadian scientists of the Krembil Brain Institute, referred to by AgroWeb.org, explain that the key to coffee's success in protecting the brain from various diseases does not lie in caffeine.

According to them, during roasting, coffee beans release certain substances.

It is precisely these substances that have the main role in protecting the brain.

In reaching this conclusion, scientists analyzed three types of coffee.

We are talking about strongly roasted, lightly roasted and decaffeinated but strongly roasted coffee.

Researchers discovered that during the roasting of the beans, coffee releases several important compounds.

They are called phenylindanes, and they give coffee its slightly bitter taste.

These compounds prevent the activation of toxic proteins in the brain.

They play a key factor in the occurrence of Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases.

According to researchers, the longer coffee beans are roasted, the more beneficial substances they will release.

This means that decaffeinated or decaffeinated coffee must be strongly roasted to be rich in the aforementioned ingredients.

However, as with any other food or drink in the world, the secret to acquiring these goodies is not to overdo it./ AgroWeb.org
