Is It Okay To Have Coffee?

If you are like most American adults, you enjoy starting the day with a steaming mug of coffee. Coffee is so well-loved that it even has its own international holiday — International Coffee Day — on September 29th. As coffee’s big day approaches, let’s take a look at the ways coffee can benefit your health. So sit back, curl up with your favorite brew, and learn how coffee can be good for you.

Brain Boost

When you imagine a healthy beverage, coffee probably isn’t the first thing that comes to mind. But it has a few brain boosters! A study by Johns Hopkins University found the amount of caffeine from two cups of coffee can boost memory by up to 10%. It is also a common thought that caffeine can boost the brain’s production of chemicals that are used to store memories.

As you have probably already experienced, coffee makes the brain more alert. This means focus and decision making are improved and your attention span is sharpened. Some research found links between lower rates of age-related brain diseases (i.e. Alzheimer's and Dementia) and caffeine.

Weight Loss

If you are working toward a goal of burning fat and losing weight, coffee might be key. Some research has shown that the caffeine you get from coffee can jump-start the metabolic system, which helps the body burn fat. Another benefit is that coffee can increase the metabolic rate for up to three hours after a cup is consumed compared to those who don’t indulge.

Most people drink coffee for the caffeine boost, which can also motivate you to put in every bit of effort during your next workout.

Antioxidants

Did you know that the average American gets their antioxidants primarily from coffee? Coffee has disease-fighting antioxidants and a group of compounds called flavonoids. You may have heard of flavonoids before, and they are known to an antiviral, anti-tumor, and anti-inflammatory properties. Antioxidants help protect the cells in the body from damage and disease, so you can feel even better while enjoying your next cup of coffee.

Keep in mind that it is the coffee itself that your body benefits from, not the added sugars and fats found in many flavorings and creamers. So drink to your health, but keep that cup as healthy as you can.

Patient Reviews

"My overall health has also improved because my allergies and my arthritis are also not as severe as they used to be. Dr. Stiles has always been very accommodating with her hours and appointments, and the staff is always friendly and welcoming. Over the years, I have recommended my sister, my best friend, my cousin and other friends to this office for chiropractic care."

-Anonymous

"Excellent patient care and a convenient location.  Dr. Stiles technique is gentle and effective.  The office staff is professional and flexible.  The office hours offer a wide array of times for busy working people.  I switched from a chiropractor that I loved for the location and have not lost anything in terms of service.  I highly recommend for pain management, maintenance and wellness services."

-Ruanda G.

"Not the typical doctors office.  Dr. Stiles & staff are friendly and are flexible with appointments. And my neck and my back feel great!"

-Kevin T.

"Dr. Stiles is very gentle and caring and helpful in explaining what was wrong with my neck and spine. She came up with a treatment plan for me for the next few months. I was re-examined a few weeks ago and showed a lot of improvement! All without surgery. I highly recommend this chiropractic office."

-Monique P.

"Everyone in the office is very nice and helpful. I started going to Dr. Stiles because I had vertigo for more than a year. My doctor just told me it would go away eventually and prescribed Dramamine (which just made me feel sick). I decided to try this method as a last effort to get rid of it and it's worked. I couldn't be happier with the results from my visits here. I would (and have) recommended her to friends and co-workers."

-Jennifer M.

"I've been seeing Dr. Stiles for the past 10 years and in that time, my sciatic nerve has stopped flaring up. I also have had no more middle ear infections or ringing in my ears. I first started going to Stiles Chiropractic for what I thought was the beginning of carpal tunnel syndrome, my wrists, hands and fingers were numb and tingling. After a few adjustments, I was feeling much better and have not had that issue since.

-Dee M.

"Dr. Stiles has been my chiropractor for almost a decade. Regular visits to Dr. Stiles help me prevent tension from escalating and causing severe, debilitating pain that I've had in the past. I used to "throw my back out" once or twice a year, resulting in my being unable to move for three or four days. With ongoing maintenance, I'm happy to say that that rarely happens anymore, and if it does, Dr. Stiles knows me well enough to help fix it right away."

-Cathy H.

"I see Dr Stiles every week for neck pain and she is amazing! She is very kind and responsive to her clients. Highly recommended."

-Samantha M.

"Dr. Stiles is stellar! I am a resident of Los Angeles and any time I'm in town this is my go to place for chiropractic. Dr. Stiles is very thorough and educated on every joint in the body. I feel at ease and in good hands and most importantly well-informed through our entire sessions. I always walk out feeling taller and poised with a healthy body!"

-Kaila H.

"Wonderful! Best Ever! – I have been to chiropractors throughout my life (good and bad ones) but I have had the best experience here with Dr. Tracey. She gave me a very detailed exam and took the time to go over my exam and explain a treatment plan that will help me feel better in the long run. And I am all about preventative maintenance! She also explained my adjustment so well, I didn't freak out. Her office is wonderful, Friendly and warm!!"
