Scientists Have Discovered An Unexpected Effect Of Morning Coffee

Your mood may improve within the first few hours after drinking it.

For many people, a morning cup of coffee not only perks them up but also lifts their spirits. It turns out that this is due to the natural effects of caffeine, according to writer Sammy Karamela in an article for Vice.

A recent study published in the journal *Nature Scientific Reports* showed that people who consume caffeine report an improvement in mood during the first 2.5 hours after drinking a cup of coffee. Tea had a similar effect on them as well.

“Caffeine works by blocking adenosine receptors, which can increase dopamine activity in key areas of the brain—an effect that, according to research, is associated with improved mood and increased alertness,” said one of the researchers, Professor Anu Realo.

However, a heavy coffee drinker may feel irritable or sluggish during a prolonged period without caffeine. But as soon as they take their first sip of coffee, they’ll feel energetic and positive again. People who drink moderate amounts of coffee experience the same symptoms.

Many believe that people with anxiety disorders should avoid coffee and other caffeinated beverages, but according to research, this isn’t always the case. Mood changes were observed in all participants, including people with symptoms of depression, anxiety, and those with sleep disorders.
