There’s a new trend going around that may forever change the way you
drink coffee. Instead of the usual cream and sugar, many people are now adding
butter to their coffee and it’s just about the greatest thing ever.
To most people, putting butter in their coffee sounds skeptical if not
borderline dangerous, but not all butters are bad for you. In this case, there
is only one kind of butter you should put in your coffee: grass-fed butter.
Kerrygold unsalted brand is probably the most common that you can find in
stores. But why grass-fed butter?
Most cows are corn or soy fed. It’s cheap and filling, but cows aren’t
actually meant to eat that- they can’t even digest it properly- and their milk
produces the kinds of fats you don’t want in your body. Grass-fed cows on the
other hand commonly produce the best milk and beef, and the butter made from
those cows is just as good. Here are five reasons why you should be putting
this kind of butter in your coffee (and just using it in general from now on):
1. Only grass-fed butter has the right
fats that regulate cholesterol, not add to it. Grass-fed butter has the best
ratio of omega-6 to omega-3 fatty acids (which reduces body fat) and is a good
source of vitamin K, both of which according to a
studies reduce the risk of heart disease.
2. It provides healthy fats for your
brain and body to create cell walls (membranes) and hormones. The short-chain
fatty acid Butyrate, once thought to be bad for you, has been linked to preventing
neurodegenerative diseases, increased energy
expenditure, and is also anti-inflammatory,
further preventing heart disease.
3. Drinking it each morning puts your
body in the routine to burn fat all day, helping you trim down overall. CLA
(conjugated linoleic acid), found in grass-fed butter, has been shown to
reduce body fat mass especially in overweight individuals.
4. “Bulletproof” coffee will give you
energy as well as increase cognitive function that you can literally feel when
it kicks in for about six hours- and without the crash. Mixed with more healthy fats from coconut oil, this amped up drink will help
produce ketones, which are created when your body creates energy from
fat rather than carbohydrates.
5. Two tablespoons of butter in your
coffee is all you need to replace a breakfast meal altogether, making this a
quick alternative for people on the go. Providing your body with essential fats
and calories is a higher performance blend than a carbohydrate source like
oatmeal.
When you blend it with coffee, what you get is the most pleasantly
creamy drink that you can actually feel energizing your body. But why stop
there? If you are going to put the best butter in your coffee, you should have
the best of everything. According to bio-hacker and entrepreneur Dave Asprey,
who formulated this popular blend, the quality of your coffee beans can make a
noticeable difference and adding MCT oil will absolutely boost your brain’s
focus in the morning. If your coffee isn’t doing it for you anymore, this is
one recipe you’ll want to try.
