Raunak Khosla advocates substituting conventional coffee with coffee honey to live a healthier life
I can’t start my morning without a strong cup of coffee!” is what most people of the current generation wallow about, first thing in the morning.
It’s fairly common to find people sipping hot coffee, cold coffee, latte, or any other variety of coffee beverages and revelling in its bitter-sweet taste. However, it is also common to find the same people complaining of exhaustion and dehydration.
According to experts, more than four cups of coffee a day can cause headaches, anxiety, irregular heartbeats, and even chest pain. However, despite knowing that even a moderate amount of coffee can be detrimental to health, the caffeine addiction is real and compels people to never give up on this savory brew.
The question is, in the age-long war between health and taste buds, who will emerge victorious? However, no one should be forced to make such a decision when both health and taste buds can co-exist together, right? This is where coffee honey is revolutionising the world for coffee lovers.
The goodness of honey and mental alertness of coffee
Along with relishing the taste and resinous aroma of coffee and sweetness of honey, a coffee honey drink is perfect for triggering psych activity in the morning, afternoon, or evening, but without the side effects of a cup of coffee. Coffee honey doesn’t mean that it’s simply coffee with honey instead of white or brown sugar. No, it’s something more magical than that.
To be precise, honeybees are naturally attracted to coffee flowers. These flowers contain caffeine in the nectar part, which attracts honeybees instinctively. However, it is quite challenging to harvest as the pollination period of coffee flowers is extremely limited. Nevertheless, the bees skillfully draw out the sugar-rich liquid from coffee plants, and a flavorful dark, rich coffee bean color honey is extracted.
Like most coffee, coffee honey efficiently relieves mental and physical fatigue, alerts the brain, and keeps consumers perked up throughout the day. It also stimulates the central nervous system, boosts immunity, and controls insulin levels to elevate the overall wellbeing and productivity of the consumer. Having said that, it doesn’t bring the negative baggage of conventional coffee beans. In fact, coffee honey consists of high volumes of antioxidants and can be highly beneficial in regulating the common cold and cough.
Furthermore, it has endless health benefits for humans and the caffeine nectar of coffee plants is incredibly beneficial for honeybees. It activates their memory process and enables bees to return to the same flower and collect more nectar.
Moving forward
On a daily basis, more than one billion people worldwide drink coffee. Imagine how many cups of coffee everyone must be consuming. Although, it's the most widely consumed beverage in the world, it's still not everyone's cup of coffee. Honey coffee, on the other hand, not only soothes consumers' hectic nerves but also aids in weight loss.
The conventional charm of honey coupled with new-age innovations has opened doors for several ventures diving deeper into the world of nectar and organic honey. Honey-based products like coffee honey are usually free of sugar, additives, and artificial flavors. The latest food technology is specially designed for such alternatives that keep the original taste intact while enhancing the healthy attributes of natural products. And coffee honey is an apt example under this category.
The aforementioned data clearly states that because caffeine addiction has become an integral part of most people's lifestyle, it is crucial to opt for healthy, sustainable, and nutritious options. Coffee honey fits the bill perfectly.
So, when are you switching to 100 per cent organic coffee honey?
