Coffee and its uses that men rarely know

Discovered by a goatherd, it was the monks who created the black, bitter, addictive liquid – coffee.

Even though 1.7 cups of coffee are consumed every day, few people know that coffee can also be used as an effective method to “recharge” the skin, becoming the secret to success for modern men.

Coffee anecdotes

The anecdotes surrounding the history of coffee are as interesting as the aftertaste of this black, bitter, addictive liquid. The most popular story tells that more than 1,000 years ago, the goats of the Abyssinian man Kaldi suddenly became excited and started dancing after eating a strange red fruit. Seeing this, Kaldi dared to try it and found himself excited as well. The goatherd immediately informed the monks at a nearby monastery. Believing that this was a gift from God, the monks found a way to roast this bean, crush it and mix it with water to drink, and thus, coffee was born.

Currently, coffee is used very widely and there are up to 1.7 billion cups of coffee consumed in the world by hundreds of millions of people every day. Coffee has become the most traded commodity globally, second only to oil. Men in all countries, in all fields today are coffee lovers. Inventors, great men of the past such as Balzac, Napoleon, Sebastian Bach, Beethoven… were also coffee lovers.

The “elixir” of creativity

Since its appearance, coffee has been considered to have the effect of helping to stay awake and stimulate the spirit. This is completely reasonable because science has proven that caffeine – the main ingredient in coffee – actually stimulates the central nervous system and limits the activity of adenosine – a substance considered to cause drowsiness.

After using coffee, you will notice that the feeling of sleepiness disappears and the ability to work of the brain increases. Therefore, men always consider coffee as a source of energy for the brain, stimulating creativity to bring success in life.

‘Doctor’ of everyone

Not only is it a drink that “energizes” the brain, coffee also has many great uses for health. A recent study shows that coffee is the top in providing antioxidants, which are substances that bring more benefits to human health and longevity than any other food in the daily diet in the US. Not only is coffee good for the body, it also has the ability to reduce the risk of many diseases in adults. Scientific studies have shown that coffee helps to significantly reduce the risk of disease. In people who have a habit of using coffee every day, the risk of diabetes is reduced by 7%. The risk of Alzheimer’s disease and dementia is reduced by 60%, the rate of Parkinson’s disease is from 32-60% and liver cancer is 40%. In addition, drinking a cup of coffee every day can help maintain vision and help prevent the risk of blindness in adults.

‘Recharge’ your skin

In addition to its health benefits, coffee is also known for its effective uses in skin care. In European and American countries, coffee has long been used as an ingredient for skin care with many uses such as exfoliating, firming and brightening the skin or making anti-aging masks.

Earlier this year, Pond’s – a brand from Unilever – took advantage of the benefits of coffee to launch Pond’s Men facial cleanser with coffee bean extract, which has the ability to “recharge the skin” of men.

Explaining this ability, studies from the Pond’s Research Institute show that coffee beans contain high levels of compounds such as Polyphenols which have antioxidant effects, helping to erase skin imperfections such as dark spots, dullness, and melasma. The antioxidants, coffee bean extract and cool peppermint essential oil in Pond’s Men facial cleanser help promote blood circulation to stimulate tired-looking skin, leaving the face clean, bright and full of vitality with the energy of coffee.

Through its special effects on the skin, Pond’s Men is the new secret for men to own healthy, vibrant skin, thereby becoming confident in grasping success.
