According to Medical News Today, the study asked 160 participants between the ages of 18 and 30 to look at pictures before and after consumption of a 200 mg caffeine pill or a placebo. The next day, subjects were asked to look at a new set of pictures that contained previously seen images as well as new images.

Participants who took the caffeine supplement were more accurate in the identification process. The findings suggest that caffeine could have an effect on long-term memory. Now that’s something to remember. 

2.               That coffee habit might make consumers happier.

Studies show that caffeine may have the ability to improve mood. That’s because caffeine boosts serotonin, dopamine and noradrenaline neurotransmitters in the brain known to have an effect on depression. One such study suggests that women who drink four or more cups of caffeinated coffee daily may reduce the risk of depression by 20 percent. Even more interesting, moderate caffeine consumption has also been associated with a reduced risk of suicide. In fact, drinking several cups of coffee daily may lower the risk of suicide by 50 percent. So consider indulging in a caffeinated cup of joe next time the blues hit. It just might make a difference.

3.               Caffeine makes the morning drive to work perkier.

The most well-known benefit of caffeine is obvious. It wakes you up. And it does so in a speedy manner. Caffeine peaks in your blood within an hour, and the effects can last for four to six hours. That’s why we crave it on that early-morning drive. So just why does caffeine perk us up? The reason for this is that caffeine is a central nervous system stimulant. So it makes people feel more awake and alert. Remember that the next time drowsiness hits.
