Coffee has been around for a long time and blamed for many things that can go wrong in your body. But new research shows that coffee can actually be healthy! Here are 30 Healthy Coffee Recipes to get your coffee fix and not feel bad since they are healthy drink recipes!
30 Healthy Coffee Recipes
Recently, some studies have found a connection between coffee and decreased mortality especially with healthy coffee recipes! Apparently, earlier studies didn’t always take into account that known high-risk behaviors, such as smoking and physical inactivity, tended to be more common among heavy coffee drinkers.
Coffee may actually have health benefits, including protecting against Parkinson’s disease, type 2 diabetes and liver disease, and appears to improve cognitive function and decrease the risk of depression.
Health Benefits of Coffee
I love my coffee but always try to stay between one and two cups per day because of how my body reacts to it. But I am happy to note that there are several benefits to drinking coffee, though in moderation – three to four cups per day. For those that stay under this limit, coffee has been linked with longer lifespan.
Here are some more amazing health benefits of coffee:
- Coffee may help protect against type 2 diabetes
- Researchers in the U.S. found that a higher coffee and caffeine intake is associated with a significantly lower incidence of Parkinson’s disease
- Italian researchers found that coffee consumption lowers the risk of liver cancer by about 40%.
- Regular consumption of coffee is linked to a reduced risk of primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC), a rare autoimmune disease of the bile ducts in the liver.
- Researchers at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center (BIDMC) and Harvard School of Public Health, concluded that drinking coffee in moderation protects against heart failure.
- Lower Risk of Multiple Sclerosis.
- Coffee reduces colorectal cancer risk.
- Lowered risk of Alzheimer’s disease
- Reduces suicide risk and Depression
- Coffee can cut post-workout muscle pain by up to 48%
- Helps curb cirrhosis
- Reduces gout flareups
Moderate coffee consumption (three to four cups per day) has been linked with longer lifespan.
Of course there are risks to drinking coffee as well…remember everything in moderation! Most of the risks are involved with huge coffee consumption of more than 4 cups a day. That’s a LOT of coffee!
Most of the side effects are minor such as impaired sleep, jittery feeling, and even anxiety, but some less common side effects involve cardiovascular disease in people who drink way more than 4 cups a day as well as esophageal cancer in those who drink their coffee super hot – over 149 degrees!
