From washing windows to organizing bedroom closets, for many spring cleaning is underway! While you’re busily dusting every corner of your house, have you thought about cleaning your coffee cup? I’m not talking about placing it in the dishwasher, but what I am talking about is pouring out your unhealthy coffee. We often hear about eating clean, but drinking clean is just as important for your health. We know that water is the cleanest choice of drinks, but let’s be honest, we enjoy the flavor that hits our tastebuds when we sip our favorite coffee drinks. How can you keep the flavor and keep it healthy? Well, it’s possible to have the best of both worlds in your coffee cup every morning!
Coffee is packed with more than just flavor
Mmmm! The aroma of coffee brewing in the morning is enough to get most people excited about starting their day. Whether you wait in line at your favorite coffee shop or fill your favorite mug at home, a cup of coffee is an essential part of the day for many Americans.
According to a survey released by the National Coffee Association (yes, it really does exist), 7 out of 10 Americans drink coffee every week, 62 percent drink it every day, and the average American drinks a little over three cups a day!
Undoubtedly, drinking coffee gives you an energy boost, but it has other benefits that can help you live a longer, healthier life.
