You’ve probably been drinking toxic coffee all your life!
You’ve probably been drinking toxic coffee all your life!
"The most popular drug in the world is CAFFEINE!"
Bet many of you have heard that and, yes, it is true. Coffee is also second most popular beverage (after water) and consumed every morning by up to 85% of Americans within more than 2 billion people in total.
Is it possible that all those people are actually hacking their health massively every day?
Facts to justify your addiction:
Starting with 'elementary' benefits of coffee first:
-
Helps you stay alert and focused
-
Better (and more) energy
Caffeine helps to make fat cells break down body fat and use it as fuel for training. You can make it even more effective with increasing your ketone levels. Drinking coffee about one hour before training can improve your performance 10-12%! Coffee also supports your performance by increasing adrenaline levels in your blood.
-
Source of fiber
A cup of brewed coffee represents a contribution of up to 1.8 grams of fiber of the recommended intake of 20-38 grams.
-
Helps to burn fat
Studies have shown that caffeine can boost your metabolic rate by 3–11% and can increase fat burning up to 29% in lean people and 10% among obese people.
-
Includes many antioxidants
In fact, coffee might be the healthiest part of a diet for many people eating the so-called Western Diet… (Especially in USA)
Hold on, there's more!
Well, I am already convinced by all the facts above but there are even more significant benefits of coffee. Seriously! For example:
-
Lower risk on type 2 diabetes
-
Helps to live longer
A study made in Stanford suggested that caffeine could counteract the chemical reactions that trigger the inflammation over time.
-
It may protect you against Alzheimer's Disease
But of course, ladies and gentleman, it goes hand-in-hand with healthy lifestyle in general. Though, studies have shown that coffee drinkers may have up to 65% lower risk of Alzheimer's disease!
-
Makes you happier and can fight depression
More and more people are becoming depressed and the 'trend' is unfortunately on the incline which pushed Harvard scientists to carry out a study in 2011 that pointed out that women who drink 4 or more cups of coffee a day are 20% lower risk of becoming depressed.
-
Can lower the risk of certain types of cancer
More specifically, liver and colorectal cancer.
And so on… no wonder many world's top biohackers and high-achievers love coffee so much. You can be one of them without guilt now!
...or can you?
Good, high-quality coffee can be truly magical and one of the easiest ways to biohack yourself… BUT (yep, here's the notorious 'but'...) drinking bad coffee can have the opposite effect…
How and why?
-
When its has mycotoxins in it, it can cause kidney damage, hypertension and so on
Mycotoxins are found in mold that can grow on low-quality coffee beans and are the main reason for many health problems related to coffee! Because of many big (you could also say very money-oriented) coffee- factories don't pay enough attention to it, coffee has easily become one of the largest sources of mycotoxins in the food supply.
-
Extra bad news are the cheap coffees and different coffee blends and, *cough* instant *cough* coffee (Is it still considered as coffee, though??) because of the obvious reasons, e.g. coffee blends mix different coffees (usually including the more 'moldy' ones).
-
Arabica beans, the ones we also use in Not Your Average coffees, are better quality than robusta beans.
-
Bad decaf coffee is full of toxins! Decaf is normally also achieved by using different chemicals and doesn't taste like 'normal' coffee. We took the hint and made most probably the best decaf coffee you've ever had by using Swiss Water® Process to make our superfood-rich Bedtime Coffee over 99% caffeine (and chemical!) free! 💤
So, coffee can only be bad for you if it provides you mold or chemicals, otherwise it's a superfood on its own!
Be smart.
Don't fall into the trap of bad coffee to save money just to spend it on health care later… Sounds harsh but is also true. But no worries, though, we also got rather scared by these last statements and made sure that all Not Your Average coffees are the best you could get! We love them soooo much and we know that you will too! If you're new in our family, try out Limitless Coffee as it will provide you the smoothest and most flavourful peek into the world of superfood coffees! Though, if you're bold enough to experiment a little, Choco Loco is the one. See you soon!
