Green Coffee – the new bean... to sweep that sugar clean What’s the wait for.... go green!!

Going green is not only the tag of environmental health but also one for the health freak community, a fad that is growing... unlike a viral that in the era of net is healthy but this green going viral is anti- oxidant!!

Last few years, a decade, to be precise ,witnessed  that green tea and various other ‘avtaars’ of these leaves, Chinese in origin,  have captured a big space in market shelves, be it Super markets or just a nearby small ‘kirana’ store.

Most recent ‘Green’ tag carrying its own bouquet of benefits in the health conscious era is Green coffee. To focus more on its primary health benefits, lemme begin.... after going through the research papers, I would thrust on the bigger aspect - Diabetes over weight loss benefits. Green Coffee has a chemical ‘Chlorogenic acid’ above 45%, which actually restricts the absorption of glucose into blood stream by not allowing the complex sugars to break down into simple. Hence it is quite clear that these complex sugars will go off through our body through the excreta. This clearly implies, when sugar absorption is guarded by ‘chlorogenic acid’ , weight gain too will not happen. Apart from these two benefits, it increases fatty acid oxidation which results in increased lipid metabolism lowering triglycerides (another form of fat). Both of these factors, restricted sugar absorption and fat synthesis assist in weight reduction. It aides weight loss due to increased fat metabolism

Hence we can arrive at a clear conclusion that green coffee can also help following:

a)     prevent Type II diabetes b) risk of heart disease c) assist in weight loss

1.     What is Green Coffee? Coffee beans, the nut or the seed of the red coffee fruit which are not roasted is green coffee. The roasting process to make coffee black destroys most of ‘Chlorogenic acid’ which is the antioxidant in the bean.

2.     How is Green Coffee to be consumed? Simply boil 8 halves i.e four beans in water for almost 12 minutes which will extract its nutrients. This extract is lemon green in colour and is alkaline in taste; one can also feel the predominance of cellulose which is present in green vegetables.  






By increasing the boiling time for 20 minutes to 1 hour, the alkaline properties transform to acidic as more of caffeine is extracted from the beans. This imparts the liquid extract a bit of sour and pleasant taste. However the former has more health benefits than the latter.

Since coffee beans are grown in mineral rich belt, on stretches of black soil, responsible for giving alkaline / metallic kind of taste which can be balanced by adding lemon and honey, for sour and sweet flavour. Both these ingredients are known for their own health benefits which can further accelerate weight loss properties of green coffee.

3.     Where to get? Green coffee is easily available off the shelves on various e-commerce sites. There are many brands sold of which I tried and tasted one given by Rajan who sells green coffee beans which are GMO free, chemical free and pesticide free.

They are available on http://greenobazaar.com/
