Beyond Taste: The Health Benefits of Coffee That Make It So Great
Researchers suggest from the National Coffee Association that 83% of Americans drink coffee every day, and they would be satisfied to know that there is more to Joe than richness and warmth; a daily dose coffee provides you with fantastic health benefits too! This article discusses three benefits of coffee along with some tips on how to dress Joe up a bit with Healthsmart.
- Heart Health
Joe will never break your heart, and in fact, you can expect a healthier heart from this relationship. This is especially important considering the CDC statistic that one in four American deaths are due to heart disease. A Harvard study suggests that drinking coffee in moderation correlates with a reduced risk of heart disease. So, listen to your heart and let Joe accompany you to a healthy breakfast each morning.
- Energy
People tend to reach for a cup of coffee before fully opening their eyes in the morning because the body knows that it’s a cup of natural energy. Research suggests that caffeine, theobromine, and theophylline boost metabolism through CNS stimulation, thus providing you with energy to get moving. This aids in weight loss because a higher metabolism burns more calories and gives you the energy to exercise. If you’re on the go, Healthsmart offers a delicious coffee meal replacement, at Nashua Nutrition, to help boost your metabolism and reach your weight loss goal.
- Longevity
Everybody wants to, as the saying goes, live long and prosper, and coffee can help! One European study suggests that two cups a day offers you an 18% lower risk of death. That seems like a perfect excuse to enjoy your cup of joe guilt-free, and enjoy living longer by snacking on healthy low-carb treats!
Whether you enjoy your Joe fix black, creamy, hot, cold, sweet, or chewable, you can do so with a clear head and happy heart, because this is about so much more than satisfying your taste buds; you cannot go wrong enjoying both health and coffee. Your morning wakeup is providing you with a healthy heart, energy, and a longer life; one might say that’s cool beans.
