Is Coffee Healthy?

54% of Americans over the age of 18 drink coffee on a daily basis, so how do you make this healthier?

Coffee has some nutritional qualities, but the problem is:

1. What your adding to the coffee!
2. Drinking TOO MUCH!
3. When you are drinking it!

If you are drinking the popular coffee store versions, they have tons of extra calories,
sugar or even worse - FAKE sugar.

How do you make coffee healthier?
If you love to drink it and won't give it up - do this....

1. Avoid Artificial Sweeteners And Refined Sugar
You may not think these store bought coffees have a lot of sugar but here is an example - A salted caramel mocha contains 56 grams of sugar and a typical Frappuccino has over 66 grams of sugar. You may as well eat donuts for breakfast!
If you need to sweeten up your coffee, add a small amount of stevia instead of ALL that sugar.

2. Avoid Artificial Creamers
Artificial creamers contain so many dangerous ingredients, like corn syrup solids and hydrogenated oils (trans fats). Use real cream or add grass fed butter.

3. Only drink ORGANIC coffee
Always choose organic coffee beans. Coffee is the most heavily sprayed crop in the world
with pesticides.

4. Eat Before You Drink Coffee
Do not start your day with a big cup of coffee, because you will SPIKE your blood sugar level and then it drops.  Your body releases insulin in response to the caffeine found within coffee. This, in turn, causes a major drop in blood sugar, which leaves you feeling depleted and tired. If you eat, even a small amount or add the next thing to your coffee,
it will slow down this insulin spike.

5. Add Coconut Oil to Coffee
Coconut oil is loaded with healthy fats, specifically medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs). These MCTs have been linked to improved weight loss in multiple scientific studies. Coconut oil will not only help you keep insulin levels low, it has SO many healing properties as well.
