My Morning Cup of Joe Keeps My Waistline Smaller!
Those of you who have followed me over the years know that I love to sleuth the latest science each morning while drinking my cup of joe. How exciting to learn about this perk of my daily routine!
Women coffee drinkers,those who drink 2-3 cups daily,
have less total body & belly fat vs those who drink less.
(This is due to non-caffeine bioactives.)
Healthy Coffee is a Healthy Food
Coffee contains over 1000 polyphenolic healthy compounds.
Best Practices
- Consume organic mold free coffee.
- Start with whole beans and grind them yourself. (This maintains high levels of powerful antioxidants that become less active 20 minutes after grinding.)
- Drink your coffee in a timely manner. (Brewed coffee when older, like when using pre-ground, become acidic but, freshly ground and enjoyed coffee is much less acidic.)
Caffeine or No Caffeine
Great News! Both caffeinated or non-caffeinated helps to reduce fat. This may possibly be due to some of the slight estrogenic effect of coffee since estrogen, in most women, not all, is a Scarlett Ohara waist cincher.
Ladies, care to join me for coffee in the morning?
Be Well,
Dr. B.
