Pimp Your Coffee!

Your morning brew already has it's value. It brings energy, raises your metabolism, provides nutrients and antioxidants. However, coffee can be improved for a healthier diet. Here are some suggestions:

Add cinnamon.

This delicious herb adds beautiful flavour to your beverage and has been associated with lowering blood glucose and cholesterol.

Add cocoa.

Cocoa will provide additional antioxidants for a variety of health benefits. Cocoa had been proven to lower your risk of heart disease.

Add honey.

This one is perfect for those who struggle to avoid sugar! This golden treat will improve your immune system and boost your energy.

Add coconut oil.

A table spoon of coconut oil in a black coffee has become well known in the fitness industry as the "bullet proof coffee!" The fatty acids in coconut oil have been proven to improve cognitive function and reduce risks of diseases such as Alzheimer's and epilepsy. Coconut oil is great for neural functioning which means it is a great performance aid but you will see body composition goals met as it also raises your metabolism.
