Most of us long for that cup of coffee first thing in the morning. It is also the motivation that gets us out of bed, maybe. Who knows.

5 Ways To Turn Coffee Addiction Into Healthy Consumption 1

Here’s how you can work on making your coffee consumption a healthy thing:

  1. Have black coffee

Drinking plain black coffee, without any cream, milk or sugar is the best way to consume it. It is healthier that way, according to experts. They say that one cup of black coffee only has five calories. Yes, it may be bitter in the beginning, but once you get used to the taste, you will be alright. Choose a less strong brew and you are good to go!

  1. Use a paper filter

If you don’t do this already, you might want to start because if coffee is brewed without using a paper filter, as your coffee will contain high levels of cafestol, which increases the chances of cholesterol. This method of making your coffee is definitely healthier than brewing without the paper filter.

  1. Add some cinnamon to your coffee

Besides being a tastemaker, Cinnamon brings a lot of health benefits to the table. If you add half a teaspoon of cinnamon to your cup of coffee, you will not only love the way your coffee tastes, but will also be killing bad bacteria and prevent them from multiplying.

  1. Go from mocha to cocoa powder

A mocha coffee is amazing, but it has a lot of unwanted sugar in it. Drinking it daily could be a cause for concern to your body. The whipped cream and chocolate syrup every day are definitely not healthy for you. You may want to try to move from the mocha to maybe adding a pinch of cocoa powder to your brew.

  1. Being careful with your timing

If you want to drink coffee in a healthy way, this also means that you control the frequency of it. You need to make sure that you are not drinking too many cups of coffee in one day, and that you know when to say no and stop. The recommended amount of caffeine for an adult is 400 milligrams.
