Amidst one of the hardest years for many, 2020 brought topics of health to the forefront of the public's mind. Being trapped in the house throughout quarantine allowed people to finally take a second to look inward at their passions, and possibly take more of an interest in their own health . By having deep reflections in such a dynamic year, the want for a fuller and healthier life may have developed as well. Thanks to a 2020 discovery, Italian researchers recommend a tasty remedy for supporting a healthier cardiovascular system and to prolong your life!
Espresso, the classic Italian coffee, is a critical piece of the culture that keeps friends and family close, as well as improves your health over time. Espresso is made in a machine where pressurized steam is sent through the ground coffee, then it is served in a small cup. People may choose to add some sugar to their espresso or, traditionally, just take it as a shot.
Although espresso is generally a popular coffee throughout Italy, it is more at the center of Neapolitan culture, in the southern city of Naples. An espresso… or four… each day is a must in Naples, Italy. The secret to the unique Napolatan espresso is the local natural spa water, creating a particular taste you won’t find anywhere else. This wonderful shot of coffee spreads a comforting aroma through the streets of Naples, joining friends, family, and many more together with a true Italian spirit.
During any trip to Italy, your visit will not be complete without a short stop at a local bar for an espresso in the morning or afternoon. This is especially true when visiting the city of Naples, or the city of true authentic espresso! Grabbing an espresso is the most common way of socializing with friends and family, so it maintains close relationships.
This iconic drink may be small, but its importance within Italian culture and its health benefits are immense!
