“…According to the American Chemical Society (2005), coffee contains a higher percentage of antioxidant sources and is more popular than other antioxidant-rich beverages such as tea and wine in the United States. The caffeine contained in coffee is the most natural body dehydrator, which can remove excess water from the body and eliminate edema (Wilson, 2018). As a new product of coffee tourism, the coffee spa undoubtedly breaks people's traditional impression of coffee tourism.…”

Special interest tourism, as a destination's core activity to promote unique local products and a niche tourism market that provides customers with unique memory experiences, has grown rapidly in the past decade and will grow exponentially in the next decade. As one of the most popular special interest tourism, coffee tourism has certain tourism audience and broad prospects for development. Through a series of academic literature, industry reports, case studies, this paper aims to study and analyze the past, present and future of coffee tourism and its impact to the destination. Theoretical analysis and case study will be used as research methods in this paper. Then, it will use the technology of the future wheel to illustrate the possible development trends of coffee tourism in the future and the impact of these trends on coffee tourism with simple figures, and put forward the possible future development direction of the coffee tourism micro-niche market. Finally, this paper will take Yunnan as an example, combined with Yunnan coffee cultivation, social and economic policies, to demonstrate the possibility of Yunnan coffee tourism and the development of coffee cultivation tourism, coffee culture tourism and other micro-niche markets.

“…Conversely, vulnerability to COVID-19 might increase due to the interplay between COVID-19 isolation, alcohol consumption, effects on mental health and a weakened immune system, as mentioned on the WHO website [3]. Even amidst scientific literature, a few dated articles debate the health benefits linked with alcohol consumption, but these have been superseded by recent articles that refute any possible health benefit with any level of alcohol consumption [4,5].…”

“…In addition, observational evidence pointed out the benefits of low alcohol intake concerning mental and ischemic diseases [ 1 , 2 , 3 ]. Nonetheless, there is a consensus that drinkers bearing cardiovascular and brain diseases show improved outcomes with reduced alcohol consumption [ 4 , 5 ]. Thus, the recommendations regarding moderate consumption should be individualized to reflect the risks of alcohol and its effects on various chronic diseases [ 6 ].…”

Prenatal alcohol exposure (PAE) impairs fetal development. Alcohol consumption was shown to modulate the renin–angiotensin system (RAS). This study aimed to analyze the effects of PAE on the expression of the renin–angiotensin system (RAS) and kallikrein–kinin system (KKS) peptide systems in the hippocampus and heart of mice of both sexes. C57Bl/6 mice were exposed to alcohol during pregnancy at a concentration of 10% (v/v). On postnatal day 45 (PN45), mouse hippocampi and left ventricles (LV) were collected and processed for messenger RNA (mRNA) expression of components of the RAS and KKS. In PAE animals, more pronounced expression of AT1 and ACE mRNAs in males and a restored AT2 mRNA expression in females were observed in both tissues. In LV, increased AT2, ACE2, and B2 mRNA expressions were also observed in PAE females. Furthermore, high levels of H2O2 were observed in males from the PAE group in both tissues. Taken together, our results suggest that modulation of the expression of these peptidergic systems in PAE females may make them less susceptible to the effects of alcohol.
