Coffee and your Health: Friend of Foe?

Mmm, coffee... almost everybody drinks it... almost every outlets selling it... one of the most traded commodity... even so, people don't drink it once, but up to 3-4 cups per day or more. 

But most people don't think of it as a "health drink".  First, you may have seen debate in the past about how coffee has some compounds in it that could have negative health effects such as some tars or other possibly inflammatory compounds in brewed coffee.  But, the good news is that coffee has such high concentrations of beneficial antioxidants, phenolic nutrients, chlorogenic acids, and other healthy compounds, that it more than counteracts any bad compounds. The video below explained by Dr Walsh how can coffee help to control your blood sugar.
 

In fact, coffee provides the biggest source of antioxidants for most Americans.  Although a lot of that has to do with the fact that many Americans don't get enough antioxidants from fruits and veggies, so coffee ends up being their biggest source.  You should try to diversify your sources of antioxidants from fruits, veggies, spices, berries, beans, unsweetened organic cocoa, teas, and yes, even coffee if you like it.


So what's the available option to get your cup of healthier coffee? I'll share with you an alternative coffee.I believe everyone heard about Ling Zhi (other common names: Ganoderma, Lingzhi, Youngzhi Ling Chih, Mannentake, Red Reishi, Ganoderma Lucidum). It has been a part of Chinese traditional medicine for over 4,000 years, commonly used to treat hypertension, liver disorders, arthritis as well as other medical conditions. Packed with over 150 all natural antioxidants, support and build the immune system, increase blood circulation and metabolism and more (to name a few). It is considered the oldest mushroom to be utilized in medicine, and is among the most respected of its kind.

When added to the coffee you are drinking daily, you are indirectly adding more values and life to your health.
