Coffee’s Benefits

Normal coffee consumption, ranging from 1 to 3 cups per day, has been consistently associated with a lower risk of:

• Diabetes

• Alzheimer’s

• Parkinson’s

• Many types of cancers, including breast, prostate, colon, and liver cancers

• Coffee and caffeine are also widely recognized performance and brain boosters.

Coffee’s Disadvantages

The problem with coffee is when we begin to drink too much of it, usually more than 3 cups a day.

Too much coffee consumption is also associated with:

• Higher risk of miscarriage

• Disrupted sleep

• Worsened PMS symptoms

• Increased blood pressure, even in people without hypertension

So, as long as you keep your coffee consumption within a healthy dose, there are clear benefits. That’s a win

The Best Way to Enjoy Bulletproof Coffee

If you feel that BPC is something you do want to include in your daily routine, or even if you want to try it out, here are some tips to keep things as healthy as possible.

• Keep it under 3 cups a day to enjoy all the benefits of drinking coffee, and avoid the downfalls.

• Treat BPC as a “meal replacement” and not just a drink alongside your breakfast.

• Eat a variety of nutrient-rich foods and protein in your other meals throughout the day.

• Consider adding a smaller amount of butter and MCT to lower the overall calories and fat content.

• When first starting BPC, start with less fat and ease into it slowly — as a rapid increase in fats can sometimes cause stomach issues. You may find yourself running to the bathroom quickly if you start off too strong.

Get rid of the “white death” sugar. Use stevia, add butter and MCT. Enjoy your uplevelled new life!
