By Anita Morris, Fri Dec 9th

Coffee is a drink produced from the coffee grains. It isstimulating, because it contains caffeine. The use of the drinkof the coffee had its origin in Kaffa, Abyssinia, todayEthiopia, when a shepherd called Kaldi observed that his goatswere smarter and hopping around when eating the leaves andfruits of the coffee tree. He tried the fruits himself and hefelt happier and with bigger vivacity. A monk of the regiondiscovered this and started to use an infusion of the fruits toresist sleeping during his prayers.

The effect of the drink was spread, and in the16th centurycoffee was used in the east, being toasted for the first time inPersia. The coffee had enemies even between the Arabs whoconsidered that the effects of the drink of coffee were againstthe laws of the Prophet Mahmed. However, as soon as the coffeewon these obstacles, even the Arabian doctors adhered to thedrink to help the digestion, to cheer the spirit and to stayawake, according to writers of that time.

In Arabia, the infusion of the coffee received the name of"Kahwah" or "Cahue", meaning in Arab "force". The classification- Arabian Coffea was given by the scholar Lineu.

In 1675, the coffee was taken to Turkey and Italy, but the drinkconsidered Arabian was forbidden to the Christians and it onlywas allowed after the Pope Clement VIII tried it.

In its travel around the world, the coffee arrived Java later,reaching Holland and, thanks to the dynamism of the Dutchmaritime commerce executed by the company of Occidental India,the coffee was introduced in the new world, spreading itselfthrough the Guyanas, Martinique, Santo Domingo, Puerto Rico andCuba.

The commercial establishments in Europe made solid the use ofthe drink of the coffee, and diverse houses

of coffee had beenworld-wide known, as "Virginia Coffea House", in London, and the"Coffee of La Régence" in Paris, where famous names as Rousseau,Voltaire, Richelieu and Diderot congregated.

Here goes a tip: if you're a guy, don't think that you are theonly one that is going to be more vivacious and have more energywhen you take a cup of coffee. Beyond you - believe it or not -your spermatozoa will obtain the same effects. This is what aBrazilian urologist concluded after coordinating a research,which turned international notice after being presented by himin a conference in San Antonio, United States. The results showthat the men who take at least one cup of coffee on a dailybasis present greater movement of the sperm. In other words, thespermatozoa have more energy and are quicker, increasing thepossibility of making a woman pregnant. "The caffeine canincrease the use of energy of the sperm, as if it were astimulant. It is as if the spermatozoon took an energetic",explains the researcher.

To affirm this, the semen of 750 fertile men and with activesexual life was tested by him. "Who takes coffee does notproduce more sperm. The only alteration observed was in itsquality of movement, independently of the amount of coffeeingested daily", explains the urologist. In numbers, between themen who take coffee, 67% of the spermatozoa had mobility enoughto arrive at the ovule, against 54% that did not take it. Now,the doctor will test men with fertility problems. "Depending onthe results, we can suggest to the patient with little movementof the spermatozoa to take a cup of coffee".
