Health Benefits of Mushroom Coffee
Caffeine doing you more harm than good? Try this gut-friendly alternative.
To start with, I’d like to 100% validate your addiction. I get it. We’re all friends here. And it’s not just about that energy boost. Coffee has some amazing benefits not everyone knows about.. like potentially delaying aging and reducing the risk of cognitive decline, depression, and even cancer. Yep, pretty phenomenal right? Unfortunately, with the ups come the downs and caffeine isn’t for everyone. It can cause a range of not fun side effects, such as anxiety, restlessness, sleeplessness, tummy troubles, irregular heartbeat, and other health concerns. If these side effects are outweighing the benefits for you, it might be time to look at some coffee alternatives.
Let’s Talk about Mushroom Coffee
Yep, you heard that right. Coffee. Made from mushrooms. It’s a whole different kind of magic (…no, not that kind).
Mushroom coffee might not sound like the most appetizing beverage, but it’s gaining a LOT popularity right now. It actually came to my attention in our client Facebook group, as it’s often recommended by members who had to ditch regular coffee due to acid reflux. This isn’t surprising as one of the most significant benefits of mushroom coffee is its ability to improve digestion and gut health, making it an excellent choice for those who suffer from acid reflux or other digestive issues.
First things first, what is mushroom coffee? It’s coffee that’s been infused with medicinal mushrooms, such as chaga, lion’s mane, or reishi. These mushrooms are known for their antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, which can help protect the body from damage caused by free radicals and support a healthy immune system.
But what are the benefits of mushroom coffee for your gut? Well, for starters, these medicinal mushrooms contain prebiotic fibers that help feed the beneficial bacteria in your gut (probiotics). This can help improve the overall balance of your gut microbiome, which we all know plays a crucial role in digestion, nutrient absorption, and immune function.
Additionally, the anti-inflammatory properties of medicinal mushrooms can help reduce inflammation in the gut. And this is a big one, because inflammation causes all kinds of digestive issues, such as acid reflux, bloating, gas, and discomfort. Switching to mushroom coffee can help alleviate these symptoms and promote better digestion.
The Acid Reflux Coffee Alternative
This caffeine alternative is also less acidic which can make it gentler on the digestive system than regular coffee. This is applicable even when your acid reflux is caused by low stomach acid! We work with clients to increase acidity to restore the functioning of the LES muscle and prevent acid reflux, but acidic foods can still trigger acid reflux until that acidity is at exactly the right level to close the LES. This is why the perfect dosage of supplements in Heartburn Relief Kit can vary for everyone.
I highly recommend giving mushroom coffee a try as a coffee alternative, especially if you suffer from acid reflux! But don’t forget it’s important to work on repairing your gut too, rather than constantly having to adapt your diet to avoid symptoms. If you’ve got this far, it’s time to say goodbye to constant diet adaptations and hello to a happier and healthier you. Don’t wait – order your Heartburn Relief Kit now and take control of your acid reflux symptoms for good.
