I enthusiastically admit, I enjoy coffee for its exquisite flavors, after all I am Panamanian & Italian, both coffee loving cultures and big influencers in the World of Coffee.
Panamanian Coffees often rank Highest in the World's most Prestigious Coffee Competitions. Last year a Panamanian Geisha varietal sold at auction for $1,029 a single pound. That is the Highest Valued Coffee Ever Sold. Impressive!
Sultry and Divine Flavors are not the only reason I indulge. I consume coffee to fuel and support my brain health and much more!
There is an abundance of evidence showing that Coffee is an Amazing Functional Beverage that provides robust health and longevity. It has over 1,000 compounds, including polyphenols, chlorogenic acid and the myriad of health benefits include:
- Powerful antioxidant properties
- Dials down inflammation
- Protects against DNA oxidative damage
- Coffee Cuts Cancer Risks - Targets specific cancer cell signaling systems to suppress cancer formation and metastasis (That is a good thing!)
- Neurogenesis & Neuroprotective (Healing and Protecting the Brain)
- Reduces the risk of cognitive decline and dementia (Lowers Alzheimer's Risk)
- Cardiovascular benefits
- Positively impacts the Gut Microbiome
As a Homeopathic Remedy I use Coffea Cruda for Restlesness and Inability to sleep due to racing thoughts and worries.
I could continue to geek out on the 101 ways Coffee Promotes Health, but I hope you get the message. Moderation is key and quality selection is important. I drink Organic, Fair Trade with a splash of Raw Honey and I avoid drinking coffee late in the day.
So if you enjoy drinking coffee as I do, go ahead and indulge, your health will be greatly enhanced!
