Yay! More reasons to drink it by the gallon!This one's for you Claire.
Coffee Has Powers We’re Only Beginning to Understand
We always knew that coffee had more than caffeine going for it.
Yes, but it's yuck.
Try stirring it into powdered ginger juice and a pint of H2O.
Ginger. I've tried lemon (still yuck), but I'll try ginger, thanks. I have used it as an infusion for cooking veg and it adds a nice subtle flavour.
Yes I learned to like green tea in Japan. It was always served to me pretty weak at every office and home I went to. That may be the key. But yes. There is a Yuk factor. Strangely when I was young I could not tolerate coffee at all, but now I can enjoy a cup to get me going. Green tea is supposed to replenish an enzyme in your liver that coffee burns up.
Strange. Research has shown that coffee (the caffeinated kind) is actually good for the liver. It protects against fatty liver disease and cirrhosis.
Then I'm, on the right track. I drink 3-4 cups a day!
I believe that is the case Peyton and I drink a cup every day, not because I like it, but supposedly it should block my hunger craving a bit.
The liver has a store of glucose energy. So coffee would make me run around like a manic toddler then keel over with low blood sugar. In the past I had to avoid all sugar, white flour, rice etc and caffeine. When I went to Japan tho I could handle green tea. After awhile I developed a taste for it. As I did Nattoo which Is undeniably YUK. Turns out nattookinase regulates blood pressure and all kinds of other stuff. One of those things where your body starts to crave what does it good.
