COFFEE IS A FRUIT

The juice made of (HealthSMART) coffee has no calories, compared with other juices. Losing weight can be so much easier with a diet containing lots of fruit. High water content can help you feel fresh and ready for exercise. For this reason it may be a good idea to consume some fruit before each meal, such as HealthSmart coffee. If one is on a diet for loosing weight.

HealthSmart black coffee is naturally diet and contains zero calories. Not only does HealthSmart coffee contain zero calories, it can help you lose weight. When you “get up and go with a cup of coffee you’re also waking up and jump-starting your metabolism.” “The caffeine in HealthSmart coffee stimulates heat production in the human body, enhancing its thermogenic effect. When about 250-300 mg of caffeine is taken in, there is an increase in metabolic activity in both normal and obese people

Diets that restrict your food intake to simple energy sources will not lead you to your goal of losing weight and maintaining a healthy figure.

Roasting has a marked effect on the final content of all compounds found in HealthSmart coffee, except caffeine. Ideally, roasted coffee has a brown color.

Very dark black coffee, which is excessively roasted, as many famous Italians espressos or solubles, contains basically caffeine, traces of minerals, and very little or no chlorogenic acids/lactones. This can be considered a junk coffee when compared to properly roasted coffee.

The quality of the coffee is as important as the proper roasting of the beans. There is no point in having a high-quality coffee only to destroy it by excessive roasting to extract most of its aroma and taste.

*Functional foods are those that provide health benefits beyond the traditional nutrients they contain. Traditional nutrients primarily refer to vitamins and minerals or nutrients that have a daily intake reference. These nutrients are considered essential to the diet.

Manufacturers fortifying* their products with vitamins and minerals are subject to the definition of Dietary supplements “any product (other than tobacco) that is intended to 1 supplement the diet and contains one or more of the following: a vitamin, mineral, herb or botanical; an amino acid or metabolite; an extract; or any combination of the above. Regulations for using ingredients and making claims are more liberal for supplements than foods because of the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act.

HealthSmart coffee primarily has a preventive role, not a therapeutic one. Patients with diseases need medical care, but those who are healthy can have mental and physical health preserved with the daily intake of coffee.

Coffee is the only plant capable of forming a vitamin – niacin. Niacin was shown to be the “pellagra-preventing” vitamin. HealthSmart coffee may contain 10-40 mg of niacin per 100g of coffee. Total protein content ranges of roasted HealthSmart coffee is 13% - 15%. HealthSmart coffee is a rich source of minerals and it is important to note that HealthSmart is rich in potassium and low in sodium, contrary to many energetics and beverages not recommended for people with cardiovascular diseases, such as hypertension.

HealthSmart coffee is the healthiest and most natural compared to any artificial beverages with added caffeine, like sodas and energy drinks. HealthSmart coffee should be the first fruit to be included in any food pyramid since the fruit of the coffee bush is used to make the healthiest of beverages.

There is no rational reason to exclude coffee from any food pyramid, particularly considering that almost each one of the Healthy Pyramids** were written by doctors and leading scientist who worked with the help of three to four cups of coffee per day.
