Looking for Healthy Coffee Alternatives?
January 5, 2019

This is the time of the year where we make resolutions to live healthier and rein in some of our indulgences. Although there is nothing wrong with coffee in moderation, if one of your 2019 goals is to cut down on the amount of java you consume throughout the day, here are some suggestions courtesy of this article from the Southland Sun:

Sparkling Water

We just had to put this one first. The article opines: “Sparkling water can be a refreshing alternative to both coffee and water. Especially when flavored with natural, sugar-free, fruit extracts, sparkling water is delicious and hydrating.” Sounds like Syfo to us!

Kombucha Tea

 Kombucha is a type of yeast. When you ferment it with tea, flavors, sugar and other ingredients you get Kombucha tea. While the health benefits of Kombucha are being debated, many claim that it is useful for treating memory loss, regulating bowel movements, preventing cancer and lowering high blood pressure.

Probiotic Drinks

According to the article: “These sparkling beverages provide different strains of active cultures of live probiotics. Researchers say that some digestive disorders happen when the balance of friendly bacteria in the intestines becomes disturbed. This can happen after taking antibiotics. Probiotics are said to help counteract this. They regulate digestive health, boost the immune system, maintain gut health and more.”

Tea

Yep, good old-fashioned, straight-up tea can be great for an afternoon pick-me-up instead of brewing that extra pot of coffee. Teas come in a myriad of forms and blends and can be drunk hot or cold. There is a wide selection of green, black, herbal and specialty teas out there, many of which are caffeine-free and are naturally sweet enough to skip the sugar. Many teas are a well-known source of antioxidants, B vitamins and minerals.

Hot Apple Cider

Hot apple cider’s sweet tanginess offers its own unique pick-me-up in lieu of caffeine, and its soothing warmth is just as satisfying as that cup of coffee on a cold morning. In addition to its natural sweetness, because apples are the key ingredient, apple cider offers health benefits not available in coffee.

Coconut Water

 The article states: “Coconut water is a clear, milky liquid that comes from green, young coconuts. Coconut water is naturally sweet, contains bioactive enzymes and is chock full of rehydrating electrolytes, which makes it a good replacement for sugary sports drinks.

So if you’re looking to cut down on the coffee consumption, Syfo is a great sugar, calorie, and caffeine-free, healthy alternative that can help you stay hydrated!
