Simultaneously with this European study shows that those who drink three cups of coffee per day, improves long-term memory.
With this moderate consumption of coffee dose is kind of charge to vessels - Caffeine keeps them in good shape and at the same time speeds up the metabolism.

Caffeine helps transform fat into fuel for muscles, which increases their efficiency. In addition, since, as part of the caffeine found in many drugs that stimulate the central nervous system, including askofen, novomigrofen, novotsefalgin, piromein, tsitramon. One cup of espresso, in fact - a small first aid kit: it contains up to 100 mg of caffeine - as much as, for example, two tablets askofen.
