It’s actually doing even more for your brain. Researchers put the powerful scent of coffee to the test:¹ Participants were asked to smell freshly brewed coffee for five minutes, while wearing an EEG headband to measure brain activity and monitor heart rate, giving them a look at subjective mood and measurable changes in the brain and body. Before and after, participants completed a mood questionnaire measuring things like fatigue, tension, anxiety, confusion, and depressive feelings. After smelling the coffee, participants reported less overall mood disturbance, including lower levels of fatigue, tension, and anxiety, confusion, and depressive feelings, and EEG readings showed an increase in a measure of brain activity associated with relaxation. This is a great example of how one of our favorite daily rituals can have surprisingly impactful effects for brain health and overall well-being.
