Coffee and diet

Coffee by itself can be used to lose fat, but also it has side effects that are very harmful for people who addicted the coffee. In addition, it plays a big role in the economy and agriculture and also in the lifestyle for many people.

Coffee is made from the plant called caffeine. "Caffeine is a plant that is been around since 600 BC but was first really put into use in 900 BC. In 1100, the first coffee trees were cultivated on the Arabian Peninsula where they were boiled by the Arabs to make a drink called qahwa. In 1450, the love for coffee started to spread through Yemen and the rest of the Arabian Peninsula. Over the centuries, this plant has shaped our economy into the shape of a coffee bean" (Wikipedia contributors, ''Coffee'').

When people are getting up at 6 in the morning and going to bed after 12 at night, they need something to get through the day.
