Mirosul de cafea poate schimba starea de spirit înainte de prima înghițitură. Ce au descoperit cercetătorii • Newsweek România

A study from Showa Pharmaceutical University found that the aroma of freshly brewed coffee can reduce negative moods and enhance relaxation indicators in the brain. Participants, aged 20 to 29, were exposed to the coffee scent without drinking it. After five minutes, they reported lower levels of fatigue, tension, and anxiety, although their energy levels did not significantly increase. EEG measurements indicated a rise in brain activity associated with relaxation. However, the study lacked a control group, making it unclear if the effects were solely due to the coffee aroma. Researchers suggest further studies with larger samples are needed to confirm these findings.
