Butter in Your Coffee? What’s this all about?

Butter in your coffee? What’s this all about? That’s right, there’s a new trend you may or may not have heard about. The trend is that people are putting butter into their coffee rather than the usual sugar and cream. Believe it or not, it’s the best idea ever.

 

It may sound questionable to most people when they first hear about putting butter into their coffee. The first thing that comes to mind is usually how safe or healthy that is. Believe it or not, it is both safe and healthy. The first thing you need to realize, however, is that not every brand of butter is bad for you. There is a kind of butter called grass-fed and this is the good kind.

Grass-Fed Butter

Soy is the most common food for cows, as it is cheaper and mass-produced. However, the quality of butter and meat that comes from soy-fed cows is not up to par. On the other hand, cows that feed on grass produce the best beef and milk. The butter created from the milk of grass-fed cows is healthy and delicious. There are more than a few reasons why you should think about joining the trend of adding in grass-fed butter in your coffee.

Two Tablespoons

All you need to replace your meal for breakfast each morning is two tablespoons of grass-fed butter into your coffee. For people on the go, this is a quick alternative. It provides your body with calories and fat to produce better performance day in and day out compared to oatmeal or other carbohydrates. When you blend butter into your coffee, you get a tremendous energy drink that is pleasantly creamy.  If you want to go one step further, go ahead and add in XCT oil which boosts the focus of your brain in the morning.

Bulletproof

Bulletproof coffee, which is what people call coffee with butter will increase cognitive function as well as increase your energy. It works for about six hours and you can feel it. The difference is that you don’t go through the crash. Mixed with coconut oil, this coffee produces ketones, which happens when your body takes energy from fat rather than from carbs.

Your Morning Routine

Each morning, when you drink butter-coffee, it puts your body into fat-burning mode all day. This helps you lose overall weight. Particularly in overweight people, grass-fed butter’s CLA content reduces body fat mass. CLA stands for conjugated linoleic acid.

Brain Food

The hormones and membranes in your brain are made of healthy fat. Butyrate, a short-chain fatty acid is anti-inflammatory, increases energy expenditure and prevents brain disease. This is something that grass-fed butter provides.

Regulate Cholesterol

Cholesterol is regulated by the kind of fat in grass-fed butter. Instead of being bad for you, this is good for you. Butter from grass-fed cows has the best omega-six and omega-three ratios and end up reducing body fat as a result. It is also a good vitamin K source, which reduces the risks of heart disease.
