Is coffee clean eating? Clean living, health and well being explored.

Is coffee clean eating? Clean living, health and well being explored.
Ok, I like my coffee..... actually, I LOVE my coffee! But, is coffee a healthy choice and is it compatible with a clean eating and clean living way of life?

People that regularly drink coffee live longer, and have a lower incidence of Parkinsons disease, prostate cancer, diabetes and heart disease (I wrote more specifically about coffee, heart disease and prostate cancer in 2009 here).

So, is coffee clean and compatible with clean living and well being diets? Absolutely YES! Thats great news, right? Okay, so there are some conditions... If you love a caramel latte or double mocha iced coffee with fresh whipped cream, I've got some bad news for you. Clean eating challenges artificial ingredients in your diet and sweeteners and sugars used in those kinds of beverages are usually over represented and are not good for your clean living diet. Most chain store coffees are considered unhealthy, so you are much better off, as with all clean eating, to prepare your coffee at home or trust a barista to make a quality coffee as black, short black or long black or if you are a milk drinker, try a cappuccino, latte or flat white prepared using almond milk or soy milk. 

Clean eating is about eating more whole foods and eliminating processed foods from your diet because your body doesn't know how to effectively process processeed foods. An example of processed foods is white sugar, white flour and really anything with more than half a dozen ingredients, or ingredients your grand mother wouldn't have heard of.  So, send your caramel syrups and sugar on a holiday and enjoy clean eating with coffee. 

PS: If you are sensitive to caffeine, decaffeinated coffee is a great option for countering any side-effects of caffeine, like sleep troubles or over stimulation. But, don't turn to just any Decaf, you're still entitled to enjoy full flavoured decaf, processed naturally by the Swiss Water Mountain process!

A very important aspect for us as part of "clean" eating is knowing where our food comes from. We try to buy locally grown coffee or at least have some idea where it comes from and what kind of chemicals are used in the growing processing and packaging. Although some third world country beans are sold with a fair trade logo the use of pesticides are very high so we try to avoid them. Another important point for clean food is about balance and moderation in consumption. I am wary of food that announces it is organic as in my mind all food should be organic but unfortunately this doesn't mean it is organically grown. Companies like yours that do actually care about such things are very high on our respect and support list great work James keep it up !
