A Healthy Cup of...Coffee?



It has many names, Joe, Java, Mud, Sludge, Rocket Fuel, Leaded, Unleaded (Decaf), Brew, Motor Oil, Tar and Murk, to name a few.

It comes in many varieties such as Colombian, French Roast, Sumatra, Italian Roast and Breakfast Blend.

It constitutes the base ingredient in many drinks: mochas, cappuccinos, lattes, machiattos, frappaccinos and Americanos.

It, is none other than that drink we love to hate and hate to love: COFFEE! It has been much maligned by health nuts and medical studies, at least, until lately. When was the last time you considered coffee to be a health drink? Take a look at these findings:

• Coffee is good for the liver
• It helps prevent Type 2 diabetes
• It can reduce the likelihood of asthma attacks
• It is a good source of antioxidants
• Coffee is NOT a source of dehydration
• It lowers the risk of heart disease
• It may lower the risk of breast cancer in women

These are just of the few findings that have come to light about that cup of sable elixer that we so often enjoy in the mornings. So, no more guilty conscience! Fire up the ole coffee pot and let's have a cup!

Just think .. if coffee by itself is so good .. and that's arguable .. how much better with the world's most powerful herb infused into it! I'm no longer in the healthy coffee business, but we've experienced such great benefits from the coffee we drink that we're still compelled to tell folks about it. My sister found a good source at nevadacoffee.com . I have no connections with them, but I like their pricing and the coffee is real similar to the brand we drink.
