Have a cup of black coffee (beware of addiction)

Want to see the secret of the third wave of coffee? Then put down the milk pot, because it is now popular for professionals to drink black coffee, er, although only occasionally. The reason, of course, is not that black coffee looks strong, but that milk overshadows many of the delicate and complex flavors of coffee. The same is true of adding sugar. If you are the kind of person who needs to scoop up 4 tablespoons of sugar for a sip of coffee, you will miss the natural sweetness of fine coffee.

A pure drink without any additives can drink the natural flavor of beans, although milk or even sugar can complement each other with some strong coffee (especially Italian concentrate), but if you are willing to open your mind and try black coffee without foreign miscellaneous flavor interference, you will find that the seemingly unremarkable coffee beans are so varied that the impression of black coffee will be completely changed from now on.

Drinking black coffee is good for your health, but did you drink it right?

A comprehensive analysis of 127 studies shows that drinking 2-4 cups of 8 ounces of coffee a day can bring huge health benefits. The consensus of these studies on the benefits of coffee is as follows:

1. Can reduce cancer risk by up to 20%.

two。 Reduce the risk of type 2 diabetes by 30%.

3. Reduce the risk of Parkinson's disease by 30%.

4. Reduce the risk of heart disease by 5%.

This alone won't make coffee a superfood, but don't jump to conclusions. Almost all of the 127 studies tracked the differences between coffee drinkers and non-drinkers regardless of how to drink black coffee.

In other words, some (perhaps a significant portion) of coffee drinkers in the study drank black coffee with sugar, cream and artificial flavors. As a result, coffee may reduce the risk of heart disease by much higher than 5%.

Take sugar as an example. The American Heart Association points out that women should not eat more than 6 teaspoons of sugar a day, while men should limit themselves to 9 teaspoons a day because of their larger physique.

How much sugar do you add?

To get the greatest benefits of coffee, you should drink 2-4 cups of 8 ounces of coffee a day. If you add 2 teaspoons of sugar to each cup (this amount is not uncommon), it will reach the highest sugar intake of most people in a day, but since many packaged foods also contain sugar, adding this amount of sugar to coffee is likely to reach a level that is "bad for the heart" and increase the risk of diabetes.

Cream should be careful.

Non-dairy cream is even worse. Many brands of cream contain not only a lot of sugar, but also partially hydrogenated oils and trans fats, both of which pose considerable health risks. The artificial flavors commonly found in prepackaged ground coffee are also quite problematic.

To make matters worse, some drinks made by baristas contain a lot of sugar; Starbucks' extra large white chocolate mocha with whipped cream, for example, contains 18 teaspoons of sugar, the equivalent of 2.5 cans of cola.

The bad news is over, and then there is the good news.

First of all, even if you add seasoning to your coffee, you can still reduce the risk of cancer and Parkinson's disease. Second, replacing cream with skim milk and sugar with artificial sweeteners, while not ideal, can also bring coffee closer to superfood.

Finally, if you slowly accustom yourself to drinking black coffee, the health benefits will be enormous.

It sounds hard (that's how you like to drink black coffee! ), but it will be much easier if you know how to make coffee correctly.

The reason why people are used to seasoning their coffee is that the coffee they drink is made from stale coffee beans. After roasting, coffee beans react with oxygen and become bitter.

Pre-ground coffee powder, especially the pre-ground coffee powder bought in the store, may be even more bitter because of the larger surface that comes into contact with oxygen.

Freshly roasted, ground and clean coffee is actually not bitter and has a natural sweet taste. More importantly, good coffee has a wonderful flavor that is natural and cannot be tasted with seasoning.

To be honest, adding sugar and cream to a good coffee is like adding Sprite to a red wine at Chateau Lafite.

It's really not difficult to drink black coffee without seasoning.

And this is coffee made from a coffee machine in the office that hasn't been cleaned for years, and pre-ground coffee powder that is not so good. It would be easier if I knew I should buy freshly roasted coffee beans, grind them myself, and then use simple utensils to make my own coffee.

Let your coffee go up to the next floor now and start tasting this super food for the health benefits it brings.
