Coffee has been a topic of research for many years & will continue to be. But one area that MOST people are not aware of is the powerful benefit it gives us for the “aging diseases, such as Dementia, Type 2 diabetes, obesity, liver, colon, stomach cancers.
Everyone knows coffee is grown from a plant and most think of the caffeine benefits it gives us. But it’s MOST powerful anti aging effect is from the Chlorogenic Acid, ( CGA). In addition to CGA, the complexity of coffee also offers benefits from; polyphenols, phytoestrogens & diterpenes, all specific to the coffee bean, which are recently being researched much more. They all seem to have a POSITIVE EFFECT on blood sugar levels, carbohydrate metabolism & prevention of Type 2 Diabetes. CGA & the rest of these nutrients help regulate lipid (fat) levels, which are then used more readily for energy, instead of mainly using blood & liver sugars(glycogens).
This is all great news coming from multiple countries researching coffee. However, the researchers specifically ONLY tested BLACK coffee, not lattes, mochas & Frappucinos. Excessive amounts of sugar, syrups and milk, diminish the powerful effects CGA has for the human body by 24%. Dairy products & sweeteners, diminish the absorption rate of these important antioxidants. This does not mean you can’t have a bit of agave syrup, honey or splash of sweetened almond milk, just DONT over do these add ins, in order to receive the greatest benefits from coffee.
These benefits were based on a minimal consumption of 2-4 cups of coffee per day and the use of organically grown coffee in the researcher’s trials. So brew yourself a pot and enjoy the aromatic smell, as well as the anti aging benefits of COFFEE ☕️☕️
