Coffee Beans

Yes I said it, coffee. So tasty, so ubiquitous, but is it healthy? Well yes it is. So many people are under the impression that coffee is harmful, but really it’s just misunderstood. Coffee beans are incredibly rich in antioxidants, amino acids, vitamins and minerals.  Freshly ground, organic coffee beans have numerous cognitive and physical benefits. Habitually coffee consumption, when done in moderation, has been shown to decrease your risk for scary memory loss-related diseases like Alzheimer’s and Dementia. Just avoid the double shot caramel macchiato.

Cacao Beans

No I don’t mean you should run down to the vending machine and devour 10 candy bars. That kind of chocolate isn’t healthy because it’s been processed far too much and all of their health boosting properties have been lost in the shuffle. When cacao beans have been minimally processed, they offer enormous health benefits. They contain antioxidants, flavonoids, catechins and several other brain-boosting properties. Just make sure you stick to organic, non-alkalized cocoa power if you want the real thing.
