Shedding Pounds with Green Coffee Bean Extract

The heavier or more over weight we are, the risk of contracting health problems is much higher.  Even if there are people who are considered over-weight or have a higher BMI but do not have any form of ailment at some point, studies reveal that the weight related diseases and other complications do occur as the age increases, usually at the age of 35. There are also studies that show the benefit of drinking coffee.  It apparently lowers the risk of heart disease, diabetes, Alzheimer and Parkinson’s disease.  Of course it is not a guaranteed 100 % lowered risk.   But keeping or aiming for a healthy weight lowers the risk even more and coffee may still hold the answer, just not in the kind you drink from a cup. 

You may have heard of green coffee bean extract.  It is simply the extract from raw or unroasted coffee and its weight loss wonder lies in the fact that it has not yet gone through the process of roasting in high temperatures.  This is because green coffee bean is rich in chlorogenic acid, an antioxidant.  Roasting significantly lowers the level of chlorogenic acid in the coffee bean. Green coffee bean is also packed with minerals, magnesium, chromium and caffeine of course. 

Antioxidants prevent oxidation of other molecules.  Oxidation is not a good thing because it causes free radicals that cause damage to the cells or even its death. Cell death and damage leads to our bodies being unable to function well.  The antioxidants present in green coffee beans help keep our bodies functioning well by slowing down the release of dietary sugar into our blood stream. 

The most common diet nowadays comprises of processed food filled with carbohydrates and simple sugars. Home cooked meals are more likely to be healthier but for most of us, this is not a luxury we can afford.   Fast food and microwave dinners are the usual fanfare and has “unhealthy” stamped all over it no matter what the advertisement say.  The good news is that by taking a recommended dose of green coffee bean extract every day, absorbing harmful amounts of dietary sugars from these “unhealthy” foods can be prevented. They are simply expelled without being processed. So there is less sugar (glucose) in the blood and even fewer available to be processed as stored body fat.

Magnesium and Chromium in the green coffee beans help even more because it helps improve insulin functions.  This is great for people with Type 2 diabetes because their insulin functions are impaired.

Caffeine is a known mood booster and better mood means people are less likely to over eat.  Stress brings certain people to crave for fat filled and sugar rich foods and the caffeine in the system keeps the stress levels in check and keeps the cravings at a minimum.
