Coffee is an increasingly popular morning beverage with numerous health advantages. A cup can give an energy boost, improve mood and decrease risk factors associated with diabetes, heart disease and cancer; and provide essential antioxidants that protect both mind and body. But which brewing method should you choose in order to maximize these health advantages?

High Brew’s team has unveiled the country’s first shelf-stable cold brew beverage made with natural caffeine sourced from beans that boast a smooth yet bold taste and powerful caffeine kick. By employing cold brewing technology instead of more conventional brewing processes, High Brew hopes to preserve more of these natural resources than would otherwise be possible.

Since their cold brews use only high quality Fair Trade beans and utilize a unique brewing process, the result has been an exceptionally smooth blend with less acidic coffee flavors than ever before and an abundance of antioxidants and caffeine – each 8-ounce can contains 60 or fewer calories and comes in Double Espresso, Mexican Vanilla, Salted Caramel and Dark Chocolate Mocha flavors for your enjoyment!

Though opinions regarding the optimal way to brew coffee vary, most experts concur that using light roast, fine grind and hot but not boiling water as part of the brewing process will provide optimal flavor and nutrition benefits. Some recommend French press or pour over methods as additional ways of improving results.

Coffee’s caffeine can provide a quick pick-me-up and increase calorie burn by 110% when taken alongside exercise, potentially aiding with glucose metabolization in the bloodstream, increasing insulin sensitivity, and helping manage healthy blood sugar levels. But keep in mind that caffeine consumption may interfere with hormone balance; to manage cortisol and estrogen levels appropriately it is wise to limit how much caffeine is consumed each day.

Cold brew coffee may provide another distinct advantage: its generally less acidic nature is easier on your digestive system and could benefit those suffering from heartburn or with an upset stomach, who otherwise would need to add lots of milk and sugar for flavor to cover up its acidity – thus cutting calories!

Coffee is an abundant source of polyphenols, plant compounds that reduce inflammation and help protect against diseases. Recent research suggests that long-term caffeine consumption may even help lower risk for Alzheimer’s and dementia; though this study was limited to non-smokers only; research is continuing into potential mental health benefits of coffee consumption.
