Coffee Is Much Healthier Than You Know!

As a coffee lover, you may be interested to know that coffee came in second as the healthiest beverage when reported by the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition!

One of the main reasons for that is that coffee is full of antioxidants, which do neutralize free radical damage in the body. This will prevent disease and premature aging, and it can even prevent wrinkling if you use it in a topical skin care product! (Just a tip!) Otherwise, keep in mind that these benefits only apply to regular and not decaf coffee drinkers. Interestingly enough, in 2005, a study done on Coffee and Lipoprotein Metabolism found that those individuals who drank 3 to 6 cups of decaf coffee each day had raised levels of blood fat in their body associated with LDL cholesterol.

The bottom line is that caffeinated coffee can easily be enjoyed in moderation for amazing health benefits!

How Much Caffeine Does Coffee Have?

This is a very interesting question, and it is important for you to know if you are using coffee to get through your day. You may be interested to find out that drip brewed coffee has more caffeine than espresso because the coffee grounds stay in contact with the water for a longer period of time, making them more caffeinated.

An 8 ounce cup of drip brewed coffee will have anywhere from 60 to 120 mg of caffeine. A 2 ounce shot of double espresso will have 45 to 100 mg of caffeine. You can compare these amounts to a 12 ounce can of soda, which has around 35 mg of caffeine. As you can see, drip brewed coffee packs the best punch, which also does include other methods of coffee brewing, like the French Press.

It is best to drink your coffee spread out throughout the day in small amounts so that you will stay energized and not experience any caffeine crashes!
