Study reveals drinking coffee could impact your gut health

How coffee helps your gut

cup of coffee

A recent study published in Nature Microbiology suggests drinking coffee could impact your gut health. This news is timely, as today's consumers have recently begun to pay more attention to lifestyle factors that affect their gut health. The study involved over 22,000 participants from the UK and the United States, which revealed that a specific bacteria, L. asaccharolyticus, was more prevalent in coffee drinkers compared to those who did not drink coffee. This bacteria was found in drinkers of both regular and decaf coffee, which suggests the bacteria present in coffee is not a result of the coffee's caffeine content.

The results of the study found that moderate-to-heavy coffee drinkers contained, on average, about 4.5 to 8 times more production of the bacterium than non-coffee drinkers. This data suggests that coffee may contribute positively to the gut microbiome. While this research is intriguing, the research lacks concise data that suggests what exactly the health benefits of L. asaccharolyticus are. The study was conducted by employees of the company ZOE, which sells prebiotic plant blends. According to the company, if you’re a coffee drinker, there’s a very high chance you’ve got a thriving population of L. asaccharolyticus in your intestines right now."

The secret behind your coffee’s flavor: It all starts in the coffee belt

Exploring the origins of your coffee beans

Coffee farming

Have you ever wondered where your coffee comes from? If the answer is no, don't be ashamed -- you're not alone. I was once the epitome of the "average coffee drinker," thinking only about how and when I would get my coffee instead of its origins. However, I've discovered that learning where your coffee comes from can enhance the coffee-drinking experience.

Most coffee comes from regions within the coffee belt. What is the coffee belt? Well, it's an imaginary line between the Tropic of Cancer and the Tropic of Capricorn, from Africa to Asia. The countries within the so-called coffee belt or "bean belt" are responsible for producing most of the coffee we drink daily.
