In this video, we’re going to talk about some of the health benefits of drinking coffee. Remember, don’t drink coffee if it gives you anxiety, increases your heart rate, or prevents you from sleeping. Too much coffee can increase cortisol and adrenaline, so limit your daily coffee intake to one cup.

Caffeine is a phytochemical found in coffee and other plants. Caffeine keeps us awake by inhibiting a compound called adenosine. Coffee can give you mental acuity, help you focus, and improve your ability to learn. It speeds up the rate of metabolism and helps regulate blood sugar, especially if you add MCT oil or butter.

Research has shown that coffee may even help decrease your risk of dementia! Here are some of the other potential health benefits of coffee:
• Decreases symptoms related to Parkinson's and Alzheimer's
• Decreases risk of gallstones
• Increases the production and flow of bile
• Prevents kidney stones
• Has anti-cancer properties
• Has anti-inflammatory properties
• Has hepatoprotective properties
• Contains polyphenols to feed your microbiome
• Can help improve postural hypotension
• Improves exercise performance
• Increases cardiac output
• Delays muscle soreness
• Decreases symptoms experienced at high altitudes
• Increases mitochondrial biogenesis
• Increases stomach acid

I have to give Dr. Berg praise. 2 years ago i was told by my dr that i am pre-diabetic. My A1C was 6.0 and climbing, and i was 215lbs, which is obese for my height at 5'8". I then stopped all soda, ate better and dropped to 185lbs. Despite doing that for 1 year my A1C was still 6.0 one year later. Well thats when i found Dr berg talk about intermitten fasting. That was the plan i followed, i started with 16:8 then moved to a 20:4, yet my A1C only dropped to 5.9! I then moved to a O.M.A.D. plan, stictly eating a protien and salad or vegetables. It took about 1 year but i am now 170lbs and just yesterday my A1C score dropped to 5.2 and i am no longer pre-diabetic. Thank you Dr Berg!

My story. Was drinking 3-4 cups every morning and then hitting the gym. Past year had bad knee joint pain. As last resort quit coffee cold turkey. After 2 weeks all pain went away as well the joint inflammation. I believe I developed cortisol resistance from coffee and exercise. Reset it by quitting coffee. But coffee is awesome in the morning so back to 1-2 cups, so far so good.
Update: welp after going back to coffee achy joints started again. Was in pain after playing golf and couldn’t concentrate either. So no more coffee. Don’t care what anybody says, there’s nothing positive about coffee. It’s a drug.

I'm not addicted to coffee. Easely quit every evening.

Sometimes when you don't see the road ahead clearly, it can be overwhelming. Worry is too much & stress is real. At such moments remind yourself that you're much more than your fears. Life will get better & road will show up. It's matter of time. Keep moving, one step at a time.

My coffee pot is my alarm clock. The sound and wonderful aroma of it brewing wakes me up. I only drink one cup, with cinnamon and sometimes raw honey.

[glittergirl]

I started a clean diet & eliminating caffeine so I went off of coffee for a month and it was rough. I was drinking 2-3 cups a day prior to that. I really believe my brain/body needs a day. I’m back to a cup a day and I feel much better. I focus better and I have less daytime sleepiness.

[lindaritchey]

I love your sense of humor. Thanks for the video.

[highlandhusky]
