Caffeine is a central nervous system stimulant, which is why many people consume it to relieve fatigue and increase alertness. But not all coffees have the same effect, as the amount of caffeine is not the same in all of them. Fundación MAPFRE would like to remind you that if you want to beat tiredness, the best recipe is rest, especially if you are going to drive; and we recommend that you consume coffee for the sole purpose of delighting your senses and giving your day a spark of flavor, enjoying this pleasant experience.
