Bulletproof coffee is all the rage these days. It has gained popularity because of its ability to give you more energy and more brain power, two things that most of us could use a little more of these days.
Concentration, attention, focus, and intelligence are all cognitive abilities that affect the performance of our social and professional lives, and Bulletproof coffee is one way to enhance that performance and stay alert in all situations.
Dave Asprey is the brains behind Bulletproof coffee which combines organic coffee beans, unsalted grass-fed butter, and MCT (medium-chain triglycerides) oil. Yep, this coffee has butter in it which has all of the benefits of healthy milk fats without the denatured casein proteins found in cream.
Here is why this combination is so powerful: High-quality organic coffee beans are packed with essential nutrients like B vitamins, potassium, and manganese as well as loads of antioxidants. Unsalted grass-fed butter contains omega-3 fatty acids, beta-carotene, fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E, and K, CLA (a fatty acid with powerful fat-loss benefits), antioxidants and butyrate, a short-chain fatty acid that can both prevent and decrease inflammation. MCT oil is a form of saturated fatty acid that has numerous health benefits, ranging from improved cognitive function to better weight management. Are you starting to see how this combination of ingredients might be the secret to an uber productive day?
I all but gave up on coffee because of the way it made me feel. I used to experience the coffee jitters and ravenous hunger until I tried Bulletproof coffee. I have found that it has made a big difference in the not only my morning energy level, but it leaves me feeling highly focused, and it curbs my hunger until late morning. Bonus!
