I love coffee.
I love mushrooms.
Put them together, you may have quite the health empowered drink.
Here are the some of the facts behind this trendy new drink that people are drinking all around the world.
1. Mushroom coffee is high in antioxidants.
Antioxidants are molecules that help neutralize the effects of free radicals on your body, which can lead to things like cancer and premature aging.
2. High in Fibre
Mushroom coffee is also high in fibre. You may not be aware of it, but fibre plays a huge role in your health!
Fibre helps maintain regularity, lowers cholesterol levels and blood pressure (which makes sense since it's found naturally in foods like fruits and vegetables), keeps you fuller longer (since it slows digestion), and reduces the risk of heart disease by lowering bad cholesterol while raising good cholesterol levels.
3. Lower Levels of Caffeine.
While we're definitely not advising anyone to start drinking copious amounts of mushroom-based beverages just because they don't contain caffeine (that would be silly!), we think this fact alone should make you feel more comfortable about consuming more than one cup per day — especially if you're sensitive to caffeine or just trying out this new trend for yourself!
4. The Ingredient of Mushroom Coffee
Mushroom coffee is made with real mushrooms that offer a variety of health benefits. Mushroom coffee can include the following mushrooms.
- Lions Mane
- Chaga
- Reishi
- Cordyceps
5. Added Immunity Boost
Mushroom Coffee can contain the following.
- Vitamin D
- B vitamins, including riboflavin and niacin (vitamin B2)
Conclusion?
Mushroom coffee might be healthy, but it's not for everyone.
Some people just prefer their cup of joe.
However, If you're looking for something with more health benefits and less caffeine it is worth giving a go and see if it works for you.
