Good Lifestyle

Americans get coffee antioxidants than any other source. It has been shown that it has been demonstrated to help control the symptoms of Parkinson's disease, reduce the risk of type 2 diabetes, prevent liver disease and delay the start of Alzheimer's disease. Have we mentioned that coffee drinkers have a lower risk of developing depression?

There are so many reasons to drink coffee, but can your daily caffeinée cup get bigger?

Yes, but it's not coffee that is to blame. Coffee has a calorie by cup of 8 ounces. We are more worried about what you have put in: the flavored creams.

For example, let's look at the French international delight of French Vanilla. Not only is this totally devoid of dairy products (with a base of water, sugar, sugar, soy syrup and corn syrup), it contains trans fat related to coronary disease and metabolic syndrome, and Carraghenan, a stabilizer linked to inflammation in the body. The news still worse: a portion is considered a tablespoon. An unmeasured average paid is four times this amount.

So, what you think of 35 calories, 1.5 gram of fat and 6 grams of sugar are actually 140 calories, 6 grams of fat and 24 grams of sugar. Add a second cup and you have already exceeded the maximum consumption of recommended daily sugar of 40 grams.

This single cup of coffee with 1/4 cup of cream is 15 extra pounds a year on your behind.

This does not mean that you need to cold turkey and avoid Java completely.

A milk splashing is the perfect cream - the calcium of it can help counter the volumbal aspects of caffeine calcium, and it is a great way to get vitamins a, d and b12, vital for health bones. (Go to 1% or 2%; skim milk is ideal for calorie control, but vitamins A and D are soluble in fat, so you need a little fat to harvest nutritional benefits. )

Or, if Creamer is a must, try to make your own fats and ingredients that you can not pronounce: mix a condensed milk box with a cup of low fat milk, add a natural liquid sweetener like agave, syrup maple or darling with taste and a teaspoon of flavored extracts such as vanilla or almond. The final product is healthier and cheaper, and will help you expand your life.
