Coffee and Exercise:

Organic coffee 

Why you should drink coffee before you WOD (workout of the day). Coffee has some very beneficial aspects for the activate person, more than you might think. Other than being a "must" for many people first thing in the AM before they tackle anything, caffeine has been found to help continue to burn calories for up to three hours post workout at a fifteen percent increase as compared to that of the placebo per the InternationalJournal of Sport Nutrition and Exercise Metabolism. 

Coffee also has the added benefit of helping you burn fat, yes I said burn fat. Caffeine has been help proven to burn fat at an increase of 10% to 29%. The reason that many "weight pills" contain caffeine is because it is a natural fat burner. What better way to get your caffeine is there than through a cup of organic coffee. 

Caffeine helps to stimulate the nervous system. In doing so it helps break down the fat cells in the body by turning them into energy. 

As with anything that is good for you the key is to not overdo it. The recommend amount of caffeine to have is 6 mg per 2.2lbs of body weight. For example if you weigh 175 you should have 477 mg of caffeine, which is about 20oz of coffee. 

So feel free to drink that coffee before you work out!

Benefits of Drinking Coffee and Why to Choose organic

Benefits of Drinking Coffee and Why to Choose organic

Routine Patrol Organic Coffee Beans

Coffee isn't just good for an early morning burst of energy of a mid-day pick me up. More and more research is being done to isolate  the benefits o f drinking coffee. Here are some I've found in my own internet research.

1. Coffee can help you burn fat
2. Coffee has many nutrients (like vitamin B2, Magnesium and Potassium as well as others)
3. Coffee might lower the risk of liver disease
4. Coffee makes you more alert and even smarter
5. Coffee may help to prevent diabetes


While the above might not all be perfectly scientifically proven and I invite you to do  your own research. #1 and #4 are definitely true for me not that I needed another reason to continue to drink the delicious beverage that is called COFFEE...

Now on the matter o]f  organic vs. anything else I cannot stress enough the importance of choosing Organic ALWAYS. You really can't know what kind of chemicals and pesticides are being used to grow the beans where your coffee started. The negative heath risks of ingesting chemicals and pesticides are quite many. And I invite you to look into that in your spare time. YUCK. Can you imagine there are harsh chemicals are in your coffee that are sprayed to KILL insects?!?!?! It's really a no brainer to me!

Our coffee is USDA Certified Organic. It is grown in the rainforests of Columbia and we use all organic flavoring. You really can't go wrong!

Coffee Ice Cream Recipe

There are probably almost as many diets as there are people in the world so it's hard to please everyone. But there is one thing that I'm sure most can agree on, choosing something without chemicals and pesticides is probably a better choice. 

I also think that anyone in their right mind would agree that ice cream is just about the best treat you could have! 

Now I have one way to make any coffee ice cream recipe better and that is by using our Organic Columbian Routine Patrol Coffee.
