Drink Coffee For Powerful Antioxidants!


Have you heard the buzz in the last few years about the need for an antioxidant rich diet to protect your health? Of course you have! The even better news for all you coffee freaks out there that has me clapping my hands with glee is that you can now sip your cup of Joe and know that you are getting an excessive amount of antioxidants that you can pair with your already healthy nutritional plan. Yay! In a recent study, the average coffee drinker was getting 1299 mg of antioxidants from around 2 cups of coffee per day. To put this in perspective, you can compare this with the 76 mg of antioxidants that you will get from your average banana. That is a ridiculous landslide in favor of coffee, and not to mention you will get an energy boost and a delicious flavor profile. Win, win.

Are You Using a French Press Yet?



To all of the guilty parties out there that are still only relying on a drip brewed coffee maker, I have a little something to say. Have you tried the French press yet?? This is something that is actually fairly easy and will not take up too much of your morning coffee brewing time. Basically, just make sure that you are using fresh ground coffee and hot, but not boiling, water. You can then pour it into your French press containing fresh coffee grounds, and quickly stir to disperse the grounds into the water. Place the top of your French press on so that the coffee can steep for around four minutes, and there you have a nearly perfect cup of Joe. Why, you may ask? When you are brewing your coffee through a filter, then just know that it is also filtering out the invigorating essential oils of the bean that give the coffee its true flavor profile. In a French press, those essential oils are making it into your cup. Don't miss out!
