Coffee contains hundreds of naturally found phytochemicals with beneficial
properties. Java junkies will be familiar with the effects of enhanced mental
clarity, alertness and energy, but coffee can also increase the effectiveness of
a fat burning workout while improving endurance. According to some recent
studies, it also contains four times the amount of cancer fighting antioxidants
as green tea. In addition, it provides some protection against gallstones, liver
and colon cancer, type 2 diabetes, Parkinson's and Alzheimer's disease.
However, the key to wise coffee consumption is quality, not quantity. Meaning
organic Arabica beans, which not only boast superior flavor and body, but have
the highest levels of phytonutrients and are free of harmful chemicals. Be sure
to buy fresh whole beans; unlike pre-ground coffee, the flavor and beneficial
properties are intact, that is if you grind the beans just prior to making your
cuppa.
