Black coffee has health benefits
The crap I put in my coffee to make it palatable negates said benefits
Just use some natural honey and milk, maybe cinnamon. It’s fantastic. But then again, I like black coffee.
I posted this in the FITYERO thread but I’ll bring it over here.
*Cliff Notes for Rhonda Patrick’s Healthiest Ways to Drink Coffee**
Robusta not arabica Preferably
Light roast and a best
Kenya/Ethiopia are best
Paper filtered coffee is best
Percolator is best
2-5 cups a day
Stop around noon
Lowers dementia, LDLs, increases antioxidants, caffeine protects cognitive function long term, increases reaction time/speed, working memory, attention, greater mental clarity.
Need 3-6mg/kg caffeine
Stop 8 hours before bed
Only use cream 1x/day, it blunts caffeine’s cognitive effects
L- theanine is a good supplement to boost cognitive effects (I don’t take this yet, most of the rest I do)
Personally, the lady and I both add honey (always local from the farmers market) and milk (her soy, me cow, unless with her) to the first cup and then the next is just more coffee on top of the leftovers of the first cup.
On the weekends we treat ourselves to “fancy” coffee with all the fixin’s.
