    • Here’s what coffee expert Tracy Allen had to say about Purity Organic Coffee: “Due to the quality of the coffee, the flavor notes of cocoa, English walnuts and citric fruits resonated clearly”

5 Fun Coffee Facts ☕:

  1. Coffee is a top source of antioxidants in the American diet
  2. ORAC scores (antioxidant values in 100 g of the tested items) in some common foods & beverages:
    • Coffee: 2780

    • Blueberries: 4669

However, there is wide variation in both how sensitive people are to the effects of caffeine and how fast they metabolize it”

Tips☕:

  • Drink an additional morning cup of Joe after a night of drinking alcohol 
  • Use a chemical-free paper filter or french press
  • Filters can remove some of the coffee oil (if you are watching your cholesterol or triglyceride levels) 
  • Use an air tight container or vacuum-sealed bag to store coffee beans to maintain freshness
  • Grind coffee just before you brew it to maximize taste and antioxidants
  • Limit coffee consumption for those with familial hypercholesterolemia

6 Benefits of Bone Broth

bone broth
5-Minute Immune Boosting Soup
  1. Fight autoimmune diseases
  • Bone broth contains glycine and proline, as well as collagen, which help to repair leaky gut by sealing the openings in the gut lining 
    • Leaky gut and systemic inflammation may be associated with autoimmune diseases.
      • Related: According to Dr. Marcelo Campos from Harvard Medical School, “an unhealthy gut lining may have large cracks or holes, allowing partially digested food, toxins, and bugs to penetrate the tissues beneath it. This may trigger inflammation and changes in the gut flora (normal bacteria) that could lead to problems within the digestive tract and beyond”. 
    • Common autoimmune diseases include: Hashimoto’s thyroiditis (associated with hypothyroidism), Graves’ disease (associated with hyperthyroidism), rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, Inflammatory bowel disease, multiple sclerosis, type 1 diabetes, alopecia areata (patchy hair loss), and psoriasis. 

2.  Reduce inflammation and joint pain

  • Bone broth contains glycine and proline, which have anti-inflammatory properties.
  • Bone broth is rich in glucosamine and chondroitin:
    • reduce inflammation, arthritis, joint pain, lower back pain 

3.  Boost liver detoxification 

  • Bone broth contains Glycine, one of the amino acids to make Glutathione (GSH).
  • Glutathione (GSH) helps with detoxification, rid the body of heavy metals such as mercury and lead, cleanse your liver and rejuvenate liver cells. 
  • GSH is a powerful antioxidant  
    • Antioxidants:  helps protect your cells against oxidative damage caused by free radicals
    • Free radicals: linked to aging and diseases 
    • Oxidation is a normal process, happens when we make energy
    • Oxidative stress happens when there’s an imbalance between free radical and antioxidant activity.
      • Oxidative damage increases when we become injured or have an infection (such as flu, gingivitis) 
      • Oxidative damage = Increase inflammation (may caused by leaky gut and food allergies)

4. Nutrient-packed superfood 

  • Bone broth provides nutrient-dense, easy to digest trace minerals, such as calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, and silicon. 

5. Tighten skin (skin laxity)

  • Bone broth contains easy to digest collagen
  • Tighten skin by decreasing cellulite 
  • Collagen may help to prevent aging and reduce wrinkles

6. Improve sleep quality, mood, restore focus & clarity 

  • Bone broth contains glycine: Reduce insomnia and improve mood  
  • Related: Dr. Michael Breus discusses the sleep benefits

You can make bone broth at home with grass-fed bones or organic free-range chicken bones. It takes ~8-24 hours to cook beef bone broth and up to 48 hours for chicken bone broth on the stove or about 2 hours in an Instant Pot for the minerals and nutrients to be drawn out of the bones and into the bone broth. If you don’t want to spend that time or effort, you can also purchase store-bought bone broth or protein powder made with bone broth.
