HEALTH BENEFITS

I took an interest in Coffee because of its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. These properties come from the bioactive compounds in the Coffee, specifically the natural stimulant Caffeine, and polyphenols, Caffeic Acid and Chlorogenic Acid.

HOW I USE COFFEE

As a woman with Multiple Sclerosis (MS), I use Coffee to help manage my MS. When I discovered that inflammation causes MS relapses, with relapses being the worsening of current or creation of new MS symptoms, I incorporated Coffee into my beneficial diet to do the following:

• Use It’s anti-inflammatory properties to help manage inflammation.
• Use It’s antioxidant properties to protect the cells of the body from oxidative stress, which is linked to disease, a major source of inflammation.

So, Coffee helps manage inflammation and a major source of inflammation.

And managing inflammation, helps manage my MS.

RECIPES

I use Coffee in my ARMOR PLATED COFFEE.

Feel free to check out my other recipes.

HAS COFFEE HELPED ME?

Yes. I believe Coffee has contributed to the anti-inflammatory nature of my beneficial diet.

I have not witnessed or identified any other benefits, but i look forward to seeing what the future brings.

CAUTION

Due to the ever possible occurrence of product contamination, I always double check my sources and check ingredient lists before trying a new item.

Allergic reactions can happen to anyone, so I do my research and keep my eyes open to any potentially dangerous reactions, especially drug interactions, when I try anything new.

Ingesting large amounts of anything can be harmful, so I always consume in moderation. Caffeine ingested in excess can cause issues, such as restlessness, anxiety, insomnia, rapid heart rate and high blood pressure.
