COFFEE: FUEL FOR CREATIVITY
From a scientific point of view, coffee acts as a stimulant for the central nervous system, thanks to the caffeine it contains. This substance blocks adenosine, a neurotransmitter that promotes relaxation. By inhibiting adenosine, caffeine increases brain activity and releases other neurotransmitters such as dopamine and noradrenaline, which play a crucial role in concentration, alertness and even mood.
AN INSPIRING RITUAL
Beyond its biochemical effects, coffee is also a ritual, a moment of pause in the day, conducive to reflection and inspiration. Whether alone, with friends or colleagues, the simple act of taking a coffee break can create a mental space conducive to the generation of ideas. The conversations that flourish over a cup of coffee can be the fertile ground where new perspectives, unexpected collaborations and creative solutions are born.
