How to make a cup of healthy coffee?
|
Coffee is good for us to refresh the sleepy condition, however, coffee also an important social drink for formal party. However, coffee stills a controversy issue. Is it bad for human health or benefit for human health? Apart from it, human like to drink coffee and due to the investigation, every 4-5 people in Western countries prefer to drink coffee per day. How to make a delicious and healthy coffee, Follow the below points, you will find it is not a difficult task. First, you may have seen debate in the past about how coffee has some compounds in it that could have negative health effects such as some tars or other possibly inflammatory compounds in brewed coffee. But, the good news is that coffee has such high concentrations of beneficial antioxidants, phenol nutrients, chlorogenic acids, and other healthy compounds, that it more than counteracts any bad compounds. First of all, you need to avoid adding any refined sugar or harmful artificial sweeteners. What I do instead is use either a very small touch of organic maple syrup or a half packet of natural stevia to just lightly sweeten coffee. If you like your coffee black with no sweetener at all, that's the healthiest way. If you're getting your coffee at a coffee shop, make sure to avoid all of those fancy specialty coffees (sweetened flavored lattes, frappuccinos, etc) as they are almost ALWAYS loaded with extra sugars or artificial sweeteners. Some of those fancy coffee drinks at Starbucks or other coffee shops can have 300-400 calories in just one coffee! Definitely not good for your body or your blood sugar or insulin levels. 2. You also should try to AVOID at all costs any of those crappy artificial creamers (liquid or powder), which are usually made with corn syrup solids and hydrogenated oils (harmful trans fats). Instead, use a little bit of REAL full-fat cream (organic grass-fed if you can find it, as the CLA in grass-fed cream is very healthy). Or, better yet, what I've been using for a while now is coconut milk/cream as one of the healthiest creamer alternatives. I get this by buying cans of organic coconut milk, and then after opening the can (shake the can well before opening); I store the coconut milk in the fridge in a container. Note that the cans of coconut milk are much creamier and better as a coffee creamer than those cartons of "coconut milk drink" which are just watered down coconut milk. The thick creamy coconut milk is the healthiest option for coffee creamer because it's loaded with super healthy saturated fats called medium chain triglycerides (MCTs), which are known to boost your immune system and your metabolism! Plus, coconut milk in coffee is just plain delicious! It's the best healthy creamer option by far. When people visit my house and we make a pot of coffee, I'll have them try the coconut milk/cream in their coffee and almost everyone always comments how much they love it! 3. If you want to load your coffee up with more healthy antioxidants and good taste, consider trying some added cinnamon to your coffee. Coffee is good for people who get lower blood pressure, on the contrary. It is not a wise idea to 5-6 cup of coffee a day, it prone to get the headache. Drinking coffee with your own favor and high calories is the biggest problem. Tag: coffee, coffee drink, blood pressure
