International Coffee Day is observed on October 1 every year to promote and celebrate coffee as a beverage. The day aims to promote fair trade coffee and to raise awareness for the plight of coffee growers.


International Coffee Day is celebrated on October 1 all over the day with the intention of identifying the plight of the farmers of coffee beans and expressing our love for the aromatic drink. The exact origin of International Coffee Day is unknown. First initiated in Japan, it was officially declared as International Coffee Day in 2015. The day also promotes fair trade of coffee across the world and appreciates the farmers for the length they go to for producing the beans.

It is also one of the beverages that is most experimented on. From its various types to the usage of milk, cream and sugar, coffee serves as a perfect conversation-brewer. As we celebrate International Coffee Day today, it deserves a shout-out from all the coffee lovers for being our go-to drink.

Significance:

Coffee owns the love of millions of beverage drinkers across the world. However, the plight of the farmers who grow coffee beans remains unknown to the lovers of this aromatic drink. International Coffee Day is celebrated with the aim of educating people of the plight of the farmers and their economic instability. It also promotes fair trade of the crop. On this day, coffee lovers celebrate by making experimental recipes of the beverage and drinking them, organising various events related to coffee in cafes and coffee outlets.

This day is dedicated to our favourite drink and also to appreciate millions of coffee growers in the world who ensure that we never run out of the supply of our favourite beverage.

13 Health Benefits of Coffee, Based on Science

Coffee is one of the world’s most popular beverages.

Thanks to its high levels of antioxidants and beneficial nutrients, it also seems to be quite healthy.

Studies show that coffee drinkers have a much lower risk of several serious diseases.


1. Can Improve Energy Levels and Make You Smarter​

Coffee can help people feel less tired and increase energy levels .

That’s because it contains a stimulant called caffeine — the most commonly consumed psychoactive substance in the world .

After you drink coffee, the caffeine is absorbed into your bloodstream. From there, it travels to your brain .

In the brain, caffeine blocks the inhibitory neurotransmitter adenosine.

When this happens, the amount of other neurotransmitters like norepinephrine and dopamine increases, leading to enhanced firing of neurons .

Many controlled studies in humans show that coffee improves various aspects of brain function — including memory, mood, vigilance, energy levels, reaction times and general mental function
 

We’re fortunate to have older people around us, whether they’re family, friends, or just general acquaintances. Older people are fonts of wisdom, experience, and storytelling. They can inspire us to continue striving — or warn us of dangers we’re unaware of. We should look to them for guidance whenever and wherever possible. Unfortunately, far too often we tend to forget — or, worse, downright ignore — the older people in our lives. That’s one of many reason why the International Day of Older Persons on October 1 is such a terrific holiday.International Day of Older Persons – October 1, 2021​

On 14 December 1990, the United Nations General Assembly (by resolution 45/106) designated 1 October as the International Day of Older Persons.

The older generation had no technological inclinations, so the evolution of technology did not take them into account to some extent. Today, we find ourselves at a crossroads where there is everything we need around us, and yet older people continue to live a life that is not entirely "connected". Today we have laptops, tablets, smartphones, smart home devices, digital health devices, that support personal, and professional life, including social media platforms.



2021 Theme: Digital Equity for All Ages

The 2021 theme “Digital Equity for All Ages” affirms the need for access and meaningful participation in the digital world by older persons.

Objectives of UNIDOP 2021:

  • To bring awareness of the importance of digital inclusion of older persons, while tackling stereotypes, prejudice and discrimination associated with digitalization, taking into account sociocultural norms and the right to autonomy.
  • To highlight policies to leverage digital technologies for full achievement of the sustainable development goals (SDGs).
  • To address public and private interests, in the areas of availability, connectivity, design, affordability, capacity building, infrastructure, and innovation.
  • To explore the role of policies and legal frameworks to ensure privacy and safety of older persons in the digital world.
  • To highlight the need for a legally binding instrument on the rights of older persons and an intersectional person-centered human rights approach for a society for all ages.

HOW TO OBSERVE INTERNATIONAL DAY OF OLDER PERSONS​

  1. Chat with an older person​

    If we take the time to get to know an older person, even one right in our own family, we may see them in a new light and learn something about ourselves in the process.

  2. Volunteer your time​

    There's a lot that can be done to make life easier for older people. Find out about organizations in your area that work with the elderly and see what you can do to help.

Become an advocate​

The United Nations says "enhanced attention to the particular needs and challenges faced by many older people is clearly required." It's important to recognize, as the U.N. also says, "the essential contribution the majority of older men and women can continue to make to the functioning of society."


4 REASONS TO EMBRACE AGING​

  1. The world is getting much older​

    Almost 900 million people in the world are older than 60. By 2050, 2 billion people — or 22 percent of the planet’s population — will be that age. In fact, by 2050 — for the first time in human history — there will be more people over 60 than there are children in the world.

  2. Longevity is becoming commonplace​

    According to the U.N., life expectancy worldwide rose from 46 to 68 years between 1950 and 2010. It's expected to rise to 81 by the end of this century.

  3. Happiness increases with old age​

    According to a recent study, most people are happiest in youth and then once they reach their 70s and 80s. Most people reported that they were the least happy in middle age.

  4. Sex gets better, too — at least for women​

    Although older women may have sex less often than they did when they were young, researchers have found that sexual satisfaction improves with age. In fact, women over 80 are more likely than their younger counterparts to report a satisfying sex life.

WHY INTERNATIONAL DAY OF OLDER PERSONS IS IMPORTANT​

  1. Older people deserve our respect and attention​

    In addition to the wonderful things older people bring to our lives, a day set aside to honor them reminds us to take the time to be kind and humble in the presence of a long life well-lived.

  2. We want to teach young people​

    The holiday is a way to educate younger people on many of the issues faced by the elderly, such as abuse and senescence — the deterioration of mental and physical processes.

  3. We don't know everything​

    If we're lucky, age confers upon us a measure of self-awareness and wisdom. Focusing on the challenges faced by the elderly reminds us that there is still much to learn about ourselves and the world.
