Benefits of Cold Brew + Make It Yourself EZ Recipe
🎃Pump(kin) up your #coldbrew 💫
📙 Make Your Own Cold Brew (recipe ⬇️)
I avoid coffee for years because I was told caffeine increases the instance of cysts in breast tissue (I had my bout of that… another story another time).
When one of my powHER Beauties, a world-renown nutritionist, told me about her daily dose and benefits, I too started after doing my research.
9 impressive health benefits of cold brew ☕️
1️⃣ May boost your #metabolism -helps you to burn more calories at rest (ie at your desk)
2️⃣ May lift your mood -studies in over 370,000 ppl found those who drank coffee had lower rates of depression
3️⃣ May lower your risk of ❤️ disease – note: caffeine should be limited
or avoided if you have uncontrolled high blood pressure.
4️⃣ May lower your risk of type 2 diabetes- review of 3 large studies in > 1 million people found that those who increased their coffee intake over 4 years had an 11% lower risk of type 2 diabetes❗️
5️⃣ May reduce your risk of Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s disease- according to a study in PubMed, ppl who drank 3–5 cups of ☕️ per day during mid-life had a 65% lower risk of developing dementia & Alzheimer’s in old age.
6️⃣ May be easier on your stomach than hot coffee- because its content of crude polysaccharides.
These carbohydrates, or chains of sugar molecules, boost the immunity of your digestive system. This may decrease gut irritation.
7️⃣ May help you live longer- A long-term study in 229,119 men and 173,141 women ages 50–71 found that the more coffee people drank, the lower their risk of death from heart disease, respiratory disease, stroke, injuries, accidents, diabetes, and infections❗️
8️⃣ Get wired 🤣 – Cold brew & hot coffee
contain similar amounts of caffeine.
9️⃣ Very easy to make:
Start with whole roasted coffee beans & coarsely grind them.
Add 1 cup of grounds to a large jar & gently
stir in 4 cups of water.
Cover the jar and let the coffee steep in the refrigerator for
12–24 hours.
Place cheesecloth into a fine mesh strainer & pour the steeped
☕️ through it into another jar.
Discard the solids that collect on the cheesecloth. The liquid that remains is your cold brew coffee concentrate.
Cover the jar with an airtight lid and store in the frig for up to 2 weeks.
