If you’re like me, then you can’t get your day started without a cup of coffee. If my boyfriend so much as attempts to have a real conversation with me before I’ve had my java, I give him a stare that I can only imagine makes him shake in his bones. My system simply isn’t firing on all cylinders. I can’t retain information. I don’t even have all my motor skills up and running yet. Coffee helps remove that morning fog from my brain. It seems to activate my muscles. And (sorry if TMI) it also helps things, um, get moving in the bathroom—as it does for many people. But did you know your coffee can do even more for you? If you’re already guzzling the stuff, you may as well put it to work. Here are little ways to boost your morning coffee.
