8 Ways to Make Your Coffee Super Healthy
« on: September 20, 2017, 01:17:27 PM »
Coffee is good for you.
For many people, it is actually the single largest source of antioxidants in the diet, outranking both fruits and vegetables are combined.
Here are a few tips to turn your coffee from healthy to super healthy.
1. No Caffeine after 2PM
Caffeine is a stimulant.
This is one of the main reasons we enjoy coffee so much... the caffeine gives us a jolt of energy and helps us stay awake when we feel tired.
2. Do NOT Load Your Coffee with Sugar
It is very easy to turn coffee into something completely unsuitable for human consumption.
The best way to do that is to put a whole bunch of sugar in it, which is arguably the single worst ingredient in the modern diet.
3. Choose a Quality Brand, Preferably Organic
Just like it is with other foods, the quality of the product can vary greatly depending on the processing method and how it was grown.
Coffee beans tend to be heavily sprayed with pesticides, herbicides and various toxins that were never intended for human consumption.
4. Do Not Use Artificial Sweeteners
Putting artificial sweeteners in your coffee instead of sugar might seem like a good idea, given that they're calorie free.
But the evidence doesn't support it.
Multiple observational studies associate artificial sweeteners with all sorts of health problems
5. Add Some Cinnamon to Your Coffee
Cinnamon is a tasty herb that mixes particularly well with the flavor of coffee.
Studies show that cinnamon can lower blood glucose, cholesterol and triglycerides in diabetics
6. Avoid Low-Fat and Artificial Creamers
The commercial low-fat and artificial creamers you might come across tend to be highly processed and full of unnatural, harmful ingredients.
High fructose corn syrup and Trans fats are likely suspects, as well as others.
Instead, consider adding some full-fat cream, preferably from grass-fed cows.
7. Add Some Cocoa to Your Coffee
Cocoa is loaded with antioxidants and associated with all sorts of health benefits, including a reduced risk of heart disease.
If you want some flavor in your coffee, try adding a little organic unsweetened cocoa to your cup.
8. Brew Your Coffee Using a Paper Filter
Brewed coffee may contain harmful substances known as diterpenes, which can raise cholesterol levels in the blood.
However, getting rid of them is simple... just use a paper filter.
