5 Surprising Health Benefits of Cascara

coffeeAre you thinking of trying out cascara? Keep reading to find out more about what it is and what the health benefits are.

Did you know that Americans drink over 2 cups of coffee every day?

Although coffee will always be a staple for many people’s’ morning routine, one of the latest trends that’s taking coffee shops by storm is a drink that’s made from coffee fruit called cascara.

Are you wondering what is cascara and why are so many people drinking it? Keep reading to learn about 5 impressive health benefits.

1. Cascara Has an Ideal Amount of Caffeine

Coffee may be great for waking up in the morning as caffeine is a natural stimulant, but what do you do if you need an afternoon boost? Many people can’t drink coffee later in the day because it’ll keep them up all night. Instead of choosing between struggling and getting jittery, you can brew some cascara, which contains around 75% less caffeine than coffee.

2. Cascara Tea Is Loaded with Antioxidants

Every time we eat, our bodies produce oxidants. Although oxidation is normal, it can cause a lot of damage. As free radicals move throughout our body, they damage our cells and DNA. Over time, these damages can create an environment that promotes cancer growth and other illnesses.

Antioxidants are the little superheroes that balance out the harmful effects of oxidants. If you want to give your body the fuel it needs to stay healthy, cascara can give you a big dose of antioxidants in each cup.

3. It Supports Healthy Bowel Movements

96% of Americans don’t eat the daily recommended amount of fiber. Not only does fiber help keep you fuller for longer, but it’s also essential for your bowel movements.

Since caffeine is a natural stimulant, drinking a cup of cascara tea can help keep your bowel movements more regular. As a result, you’ll also experience less bloating and feel more energetic.

4. Cascara Is Great for Your Skin

On top of having lots of antioxidants, cascara also boasts plenty of vitamin C and E. These vitamins are essential for maintaining smooth, supple skin.

Another benefit of drinking cascara is you’ll be keeping your body hydrated, which is also crucial for bright, clear skin. If you’re someone who can’t stand the taste of plain water, cascara tea can encourage you to drink more throughout the day.

5. Drinking a Cascara Latte Can Boost Your Brain Health

One of the most surprising facts about cascara is that it has a positive impact on your brain health. Although there is no magical pill that can make you smarter, drinking cascara may be able to kick your brain into a higher gear.

One study discovered that cascara helps our brains produce higher amounts of an important protein called BDNF. BDNF is vital for growing new neurons, protecting pre-existing cells, and supporting memory.

Are You Ready to Improve Your Health?

Most people already know about the health benefits of coffee, but cascara can take your morning routine to the next level. Once you start drinking it, you can transform your health from the inside out.
