History coffee
Started in AfricaSharing
The era of the discovery of coffee beans began around 800 BC, another opinion says 850 AD At that time, many people in the African Continent, especially Ethiopians, consumed coffee beans mixed with animal fats and grapes to meet the needs of protein and energitubuh. The invention of coffee itself happened by accident, when a shepherd named Khalid-an Abyssinian-observed her flock of herding goat who remained awake even after a sixth sun, after eating a kind of berries. He also tried to cook and eat it. This custom continued to grow and spread to various countries in Africa, but the method of presentation still uses conventional methods.

Role in body Edit
The content of caffeine in coffee has a diverse effect on every human being. [Need a reference] Some people will experience the effect directly, while others do not feel it at all. [Needs references] This is related to the genetic traits that each individual has associated with the body's metabolic ability to digest caffeine. [43] Metabolism of caffeine occurs with the help of cytochrome P450 1A2 enzyme (CYP1A2). [2] There are 2 types of enzymes, namely CYP1A2-1 and CYP1A2-2. [44] People who have CYP1A2 -1 enzymes are able to rapidly and efficiently cata- date their caffeine so that the effects of caffeine can be felt significantly [citation needed] The CYP1A2-2 enzyme has a slow rate of caffeine metabolism so most people with this type do not feel the health effects of caffeine and even tend to cause negative effects.
