Coffee is the best. It wakes you up, keeps you going, and keeps you going when things get tough. But you don't have to feel guilty about enjoying your morning coffee - as long as you make it healthy! Check out these tips to make your coffee less harmful and more useful. You'll be surprised how easy it is to turn your daily habits into health benefits.

 

1- Make sure to use filtered water:

 

This removes impurities that can make your coffee bitter.

2- Use fresh beans:

 

After about two weeks, the beans start to lose their flavor, so be sure to use fresh beans for the best taste.

 

3- Avoid adding too much sugar:

 

Sugar can negate the health benefits of coffee, so limit your intake. If you need to sweeten your coffee, try a natural sweetener like honey or agave nectar.

 

4- Drink black:

 

Adding milk or cream to coffee adds extra calories and fat. If you want a healthier option, try drinking black coffee or adding a little skim milk.

 

5- Get Antioxidants:

 

Coffee is a great source of antioxidants that can help protect your body from disease. Be sure to choose organic and fair trade coffee for maximum benefit.

6-Enjoy in moderation:

 

As with anything, it's important to enjoy coffee in moderation. Too much caffeine can lead to nervousness and anxiety, so stick to one or two cups a day.
