Is Coffee REALLY Good For You?
Coffee has always received mixed reviews from the
health community when it comes to determining its effect on the human
system. While we know it contains in that popular stimulant caffeine,
it also has its fair share of naturally occurring nutrients such as
potassium, calcium and super oxide dismutase, more commonly
referred to as SOD. SOD has recently earned nutritional kudos as a very
good systemic balancer and highly versatile antioxidant known to help
eliminate free-radicals from the human body. Recent medical studies
have shown that coffee may reduce your risk of colon cancer, and yet
another study reinforces the belief that coffee may (slightly) increase
your risk of urinary tract infections.
It is also noted that the more freshly made
a batch of hot coffee is, the higher the nutrient content. The longer
the coffee sits around, the more detrimental it becomes to the human
system. So, where any kind of brewed coffee is concerned, drink it immediately
after brewing, or not at all.
On the other hand...
For a long time coffee was thought of as a caffeine-driven
stimulant and little more than that. Caffeine is a quick energy
"pick-me-up" that has also received much criticism. In some circles,
and according to certain studies, caffeine has been blamed for everything
from genito-urinary complications to global warming.
Coffee's often alluded to ill effects on the bladder,
kidneys and reproductive system are probably less the fault of caffeine
than that other negative coffee constituent...its reputedly high
acid content, or what amounts to a low pH.
Much has been made of pH balance in recent years and
perhaps rightly so. Without getting too technical, the pH range for
any organic element on earth is from zero (0) to fourteen (14), fourteen
being extremely alkaline and zero being extremely acidic. The term,
pH, refers to the potential for hydrogen. And since hydrogen is one
of the principal elements of cellular life, a higher potential for hydrogen
(alkaline) would seem to be better, at least to a degree. But "balance"
is the operative word here, especially when we refer to the most delicate
of all ecologies - the human body. The ideal pH balance for the human
body is about 7.5 or slightly alkaline, and ranges of 6.8 to 7.8 pH
are considered acceptable, depending upon the time of day. Not surprisingly,
most fresh fruits and vegetables and certain herbs contribute to a highly
alkaline pH. Meat, pasta, breads, grains, sugars, sweets (and most of
the things we enjoy eating) tend to create a highly acid pH. Unfortunately,
in the modern high-stress, fast food, high sugar, processed junk diets
we have today, most of what we eat drives our systems into the acid
pH range.
Several studies now show that people with high acid
pH levels are much more prone to get ill. So, what we are facing is
a kind of constant juggling that requires an avoidance of certain highly
acidic foods. The worst offenders are colas and sodas (at about a 2.8
pH). Anything made with refined sugars is ridiculous, simply because
the body cannot even recognize the personality of the food and turns
it into acid on contact. Coffee (Facts & Trends) and tea log in
at about a 5.0, as do some herbal drinks, wine and certain meats. So,
the challenge with the human system is always a balancing act - one
that requires it to eat foods that are slanted slightly toward an alkaline
pH.
So, the secret in the measure of coffee is the ability
to use what is good in it and minimize that which is not. This requires
some understanding of it, and what foods you might combine it with.
Obviously then, the ideal coffee would be one that
is more closely pH neutral and one that has balance with other nutrients.
For that the research scientists at Gano Excel
have worked for years to come up with the answer.
What has now come into a point of remarkable revelation
is that blended with certain beneficial foods such as Ganoderma
lucidum (red mushrooms in six different presentations) this amazing
blend can create a splendid synergy in a truly nutritious coffee. In
1997, Gano Excel created Ganocafé, the first known beverage in the world
that combines coffee, the second most consumed drink in the world next
to water, with Ganoderma and its more than 200 trace nutrients.
It's a developmental process that began over 12 years
ago and has resulted in the development and marketing of an entire family
of wellness products and a completely defined wellness lifestyle. Beginning
with a fundamental formulation of Ganoderma-based products that is revolutionizing
the concept of wellness as we know it, Gano Excel has also been able
to apply that same kind of molecular research to interlink it with the
world's finest blends of coffees. The result is an entire family of
products that are as exceptional in taste, touch and aroma and flavor
as they are imbued with an exceptional interaction of powerful nutritional
components that has become the buzz of the wellness industry - a truly
nutritious, “healthier” coffee that is actually better for you than
any other coffee on the market today...and holds its own with any gourmet
coffee brewed anywhere in the world.
