It is already a popular fact that coffee is rich in antioxidants and in this sense the absolute deprivation of the aromatic drink in people without contraindications is unnecessary. Traditionally, we are used to drinking a decoction of well-roasted almost black beans, but in fact many times more useful antioxidants are contained in the drink than greens.
Green unroasted coffee beans contain polyphenols, which have twice the antioxidant effect of green tea and grape seed extract, which have gained widespread popularity as agents that eliminate the action of free radicals and help preserve youth at the cellular level in the body.
Polyphenols are one of the most numerous and widespread groups of substances of plant origin. So far, more than 8,000 species are known. Hundreds of them are present at our table every day, which we take in through food and drink.
Polyphenols are also useful in that they affect the burning of accumulated lipids in the body and help overcome muscle fatigue during exercise.
In this sense, a cup of coffee from green beans gives us not only the desired invigorating effect, but also turn the warm liquid into part of a healthy lifestyle. The fragrant drink significantly increases our physical capabilities, helps reduce fatigue, while stimulating the mind and improving our ability to concentrate.
