ADDITIONAL BENEFITS

1.  Coffee has the ability to lower your risk of Dementia, Alzheimer's, and Parkinson's Diseases.  Coffee helps prevent the oxidation of neurons, and it does that through a very protective, special gene called, NRF2-ARE.  Protection against the death of the neuron from oxidative stress.

2.  Coffee can lower the risk of gall stones because coffee has certain phytonutrients that can stimulate the production of bile, the flow of bile, and the hormones that control the gall bladder control and relaxation.  Coffee can help thin the bile which sometimes becomes congested and back up in the bowel ducts and cause all sorts of pain in the gall bladder area, in the liver, that can radiate to your right side.  But remember, if you're putting a bunch of crap in your coffee, like sugar and syrup and things like that, I'm not talking about that coffee.  And the reason that I bring that up is when you're consuming conventional coffee with all the pesticides, that can put a strain on your gall bladder and your liver.  

3.  Coffee lowers the risk of kidney stones.  Can help counter chronic kidney disease.  

4.  Coffee can give you an anticarcinogenic effect.  So it's anticancer: against the prostate, colorectal cancer, skin cancer [as in melanoma], liver cancer. 

5.  Coffee has an anti-inflammatory effect.  So if you have inflammation from arthritis, bursitis, tendonitis, or any of the itis-es, coffee can help.  

6.  Coffee helps with metabolic syndrome, where the person has insulin resistance or too much insulin.  Metabolic syndrome is a combination of high blood glucose.  It's high blood pressure.  It's high cholesterol, and it's definitely involving blood sugar issues and insulin resistance.  

7.  Coffee has the potential to decrease the risk of all-cause mortality.  Coffee can help you live a little longer.  

8.  Coffee is hepatoprotective, which means it protects the liver, meaning that it protects against getting a fatty liver.  Coffee decreases the complications from Hepatitis B and Hepatitis C as well as the complications from liver cirrhosis.  

A lot of people who are on keto do the BulletProof coffee.  Add a little MCT oil and butter, and that will help you fast longer.  Both of these fats added to coffee can spike your ketones and give you more cognitive benefits.
