Coffee, the beverage of choice for many around the globe, is made from beans harvested from Coffea plants and then ground into coffee grounds to produce its unique taste. Factors such as species, location of farming and age of beans contribute to its flavor profile – as does its method of preparation or age of production. Although most commonly associated with stimulating energy levels with its caffeine kick, coffee beans also contain several bioactive compounds with multiple health-giving benefits, including chlorogenic acid antioxidant.

Chlorogenic acid has been associated with numerous health benefits, from lowering your risk for diabetes to improving skin appearance. Chlorogenic acid keeps natural moisture locked into the skin from evaporating away and keeps it soft and smooth; blood flow to skin cells improves so essential nutrients reach them for cellular health and protection from UV rays that could otherwise lead to sunburn and cell damage; finally it protects from UV radiation that may damage their DNA cellular memory storage capacities and cause sunburn or cell degeneration.

Both coffee and tea contain ample antioxidants that may reduce your risk of chronic diseases, including heart disease, cancer and weight loss. Their high amounts of phenols have also been associated with reduced heart disease risk, cancer incidence and weight loss. Regular coffee or tea consumption will aid digestion while simultaneously strengthening immunity systems – so making these beverages part of a balanced diet should always be encouraged.

Apart from helping reduce cancer risk, polyphenols found in both tea and coffee can also help lower cholesterol and blood pressure by decreasing how much cortisol your body produces, as well as help your body retain calcium necessary for bone strength. Too much caffeine consumption however may decrease heart rate while increasing blood pressure.

If caffeine consumption is an issue for you, consider drinking your daily cup decaffeinated. While decaffeination does impact antioxidant levels somewhat, its impact is typically minimal and therefore provides an ideal option for those sensitive to stimulants.
