Prebiotic-Enhanced Coffee: A Healthy Twist
Well-known for its energy-boosting qualities and distinct flavor, coffee is more than an ordinary beverage. With approximately 400 billion cups of coffee consumed worldwide yearly, coffee is a cultural icon and a daily necessity for hundreds of millions of people around the globe. However, upon saying that it has transcended its popular morning beverage label, coffee has also become more of a dessert than a healthy drink. Most Americans have popularized a massive emphasis on cream, sugar, syrups, and more to suppress coffee’s innate bitterness, making the drink similar to a milkshake.
These calorically dense additions are wreaking havoc on the way consumers start their days. However, one addition that can add health benefits to a daily cup of coffee is prebiotic fiber.
Get Your Fiber In
Most diets tend to focus purely on fats, carbohydrates, and proteins and associate a caloric deficit for fat loss with health. While this is not necessarily wrong, the vast majority of diets forget an essential component of a healthy diet: fiber. The average American consumes only about 10-15 grams of fiber per day, falling far below the recommended daily intake of 25 to 38 grams. This lack of fiber can have significant health consequences.
Here’s a breakdown of some health benefits associated with adequate fiber intake:
- Reduces risk of heart disease: Studies suggest fiber can help lower LDL (“bad”) cholesterol levels.
- Aids in digestion and gut health: Fiber promotes regularity and feeds the healthy bacteria in your gut.
- May help with weight management: Fiber can keep you feeling fuller for longer, reducing cravings and aiding weight control efforts.
- May lower risk of certain cancers: Research suggests a link between higher fiber intake and a reduced risk of colorectal cancer.
By incorporating more fiber-rich foods into your diet, you can take a more proactive approach to your health and well-being.
