Why Drinking Coffee Might Actually Make You Happier
According to Goodnet, there are actually a few study’s that show different reasons why drinking coffee in the morning might actually make you happier.
Apparently, just the smell of coffee can make you happy. The smell that coffee produces is actually enough to wake you up all on its own. A study has shown that just the smell of coffee in the morning can make you more alert and help you destress. So if you wake up feeling tired or stressed, it might be a good idea to smell your morning coffee.
Coffee can actually make you more optimistic. There was a study, published in PloS One that proved coffee can be linked to both optimism and comfort. This study even found that drinking coffee can incredibly protect you from developing depression. Which means that while coffee can provide a temporary mood lift, it can also help create long-term well-being.
If you need to boost your mood, coffee might be a good option. Depression can be an extremely difficult battle, but research shows that coffee may actually help those struggling. People who consume coffee are actually twenty percent less likely to experience the struggles of depression. This is because coffee produces dopamine and elevates the dopamine levels in your brain. Dopamine is known as the feel good hormone and low levels of this hormone can actually lead to depression and other mental health problems. So having a delicious cup of coffee in the morning could actually help you in a lot more ways than you realize.
Top Reasons Why People Love Being Single
Leave it to social media to remind you about your singleness. With “We’re engaged!” and “Celebrating X years together,” posts, it seems like everyone you know is coupled up. But not everyone wants commitment or a relationship with someone. Some people prefer being single. And no, that doesn’t mean that someone who prefers to be single is bad at relationships. There’s actually research that shows people are waiting longer to settle down or commit to someone.
Many people choose the single life for various reasons. Maybe you’re happy living it up as a single person or trying to find your internal happiness until you meet the right person. Either way, there are perks to being single.
Most couples figure out issues together or may even rely on their partner to take care of things. Meanwhile, single people are challenged to be more responsible for themselves. This not only builds your character, but it puts you in charge of your own well-being.
Being single can also put you in a great position career-wise. For instance, you’re free to pursue your career choices without having to consider another person. You don’t have to take into account what your partner thinks you should or shouldn’t do. Some research even suggests that single people value meaningful work even more than married people do.
Relationship weight gain.
It’s often said that once you’re in a relationship, you gain weight. Men’s Health magazine reported that, on average, couples gain about 17 pounds within one year of finding love. ABC reported that newly married women in their early 20s gained 24 pounds in the first five years of marriage. They also said that newly married men gained 30 pounds in the same age group. Is this what happens when you trade in your morning Saturday walks for “staying in bed just a little longer” with your babe?
