One of the most important things we should invest right now is our health. With the continued spread of COVID-19 across the world, the strain of the virus has caused us to take extra measures to keep our immune system strong and unbeatable. As they say, the basic protocol of social distancing and maintaining good hygiene is not enough to shoo the virus away from us. It still all goes down to our physical fitness and if our immune system is tough enough to fight infections.

 

Even if we’re in quarantine, the activities we can do to boost our immunity can be done inside our homes. For example (but not limited to), we can:

  • Eat 3 Meals a Day. Make sure to avoid overeating (another use for your mask!) or skipping meals. 
  • Eat Balanced Meals. Your plate should always have a balance of protein, vegetables, and healthy carbohydrates. Sleeping at least 7 to 8 hours a day can reduce our stress. 
  • And most importantly, exercise! No need to risk yourself to go to the gym, you can follow basic workout routines on YouTube or you can dedicate 30 minutes of your time brisk walking, biking, or jogging inside your neighborhood. 

 

With the suggestions above, you may also want to consider drinking coffee in the morning or afternoon as an extra vitamin for your body. It’s a misconception to think that coffee only helps when we are sleepy or when we are loaded with too much work. 

Coffee in general is an antioxidant! And it helps the body get rid of the unwanted substances and at the same time it also increases our body’s ability to burn fat! Here below, we will list each coffee type’s advantages for your health and reference.

Health Benefits of Strong Coffee

What is strong coffee? Have you asked this question before? Usually, strong coffee is often described as a concentrated beverage or a high caffeine content. Both are correct but strong coffee simply gives the most robust type of caffeine kick your body needs to make it through the day. Dark roasted coffee can have a stronger taste but actually contains less caffeine. A strong coffee cup also means that there’s a high percentage of coffee solubles in the water which makes the taste very prominent and bold. This type of beverage is rich in antioxidants and nutrients. Black coffee contains Vitamin B2, B3, B5, Manganese, potassium and magnesium. Benefits include: 

 

  • It sharpens the memory 
  • Faster metabolism and improved performance after exercise
  • Decreases your risk in getting diabetes, liver cirrhosis, and cancer
  • Helps in weight loss
  • Boosts your immune system
  • Reduces stress

Health Benefits of Mild Coffee

When you go to your favorite cafe and you hear people ordering lattes, frappes, and cappuccinos – these mild types of coffee because they have been diluted with milk. Black forms of mild coffee are usually medium-dark roasted to preserve the unique flavors of the coffee beans – whether it’s Arabica or Robusta. Mild coffee retains the deep caramel sweetness taste. These cups are commonly well-balanced, well-rounded, and are slightly darker and sweeter. They are less acidic compared to strong coffee and they can blend well with other ingredients such as muscovado sugar, honey, cocoa, caramel, and other sweetener. Mild coffees contain high levels of anti-inflammatory properties and drinking this type of caffeine can protect the body from cell damage. Benefits include: 

 

  • It decreases your risk from acquiring neurological illnesses such as Alzheimer’s disease
  • It makes your heart and other muscles strong
  • Improved sleep quality
  • Improved day performance
  • Mood stability
  • Clear and healthy skin

Health Benefits of Low Acidity Coffee

Low acidic coffee is typically dry in flavor but with a bright and sparkling taste sensation. A coffee that is highly acidic sometimes tailors the aroma and flavor, making it similar to the characteristics of stone fruits, sweet nectarines, or juicy apples. Low acidic coffee may leave a dull taste in our mouths but they can also be beneficial especially to our digestive system. With low pH levels of acid, here are the things low acidity can do for our body:

 

  • Avoids indigestion and heartburn 
  • Decreases gastric discomfort
  • Relaxes the stomach and intestines
  • Helps in ailing symptoms of gastroesophageal reflux disease

The nutritional value of coffee is comparable to the supplements we take everyday. As it might be a good addition to our diet, individuals should also take note that too much coffee can also cause risks to our health. As most dieticians proclaim, 2 to 3 cups of caffeine a day is the recommended limit. Drinking beyond this serving can lead to palpitations, anxiety, bone fractures, and gastrointestinal reflux. Always remember to consume in moderation.
