Coffee not only useful to 'wake up' we in the morning or makes the eyes bright. There are two functions of coffee that I have proved myself.
*First, coffee grounds as fertilizer for potted plants useful.
*Second, coffee powder can be used for first aid injuries in animals.
What do you think, please give a comment ..!!!

I'm not really a coffee lover but I am a Starbucks lover! Coffee really gives a lot of benefits to us. And to think that there are other coffee benefits, it's really good to gain knowledge here. Thank you for the information you've got there. It seems like I'm going to live with coffee for the next few years already!

That is a new information for me that coffee can be used in potted plants. I would like to share about the information about the effect of coffee in the body:
Caffeine is the main active ingredient in coffee, it is a stimulant thus blocks adenosine, a chemical that makes you naturally drowsy, increasing concentration and reaction speed.
1. Caffeine has been found to prevent cognitive decline in elderly women. Stimulants improves memory of a person.
2.It also slows the dementia process rather than prevent it. It also protects againts Parkinson's disease and depression because of its stimulant effect. Depression is eased because caffeine increases dopamine so people feel happy.
3. High consumption of coffee increases loss of mineral bone density such as calcium thus later it will cause osteoporosis.
4. Because caffeine is stimulant, it can increase blood pressure and cardiac rate of a person so it is sometimes use minimally or not being drunk by people who have cardiovascular problem.
5. It also cause sleep disturbance, people can't sleep especially if it is drunk before sleep except if the coffee is decaffeinated.
