The Coffee Debate
Some say ‘Yay’ and some say ‘Nay’ when it comes to coffee entering the health and fitness arena.
Is it a great pre-workout energy source? Or does it increase sugary cravings?
The truth is, the internet, research papers and experts all have different opinions and as a result, it’s super tough to know which advice you should follow and what to do for the best…so I thought I’d simplify it for you and offer 3 key pieces of advice…
1. If you’re going to have coffee then keep it as simple as possible and ditch the extras, such as sugar and syrup.
2. Don’t put all your eggs in one basket…
Make sure your drinks choices are varied and try some new beverages such as coconut water, water, herbal/fruit teas or vegetable juice.
3. Choose drinks to match your health and fitness goals and current status.
For example, if you’re just starting out on the road to improving your health/diet then start with the basics and get your water intake right first and then swap the excess cups of coffee for a herbal tea (lemon and ginger & peppermint are my personal faves!)
Wishing you a healthy week!
