Things we enjoy surely can’t be good for us? You may think so but, with coffee, it’s a different story. Not only is it something you can enjoy without feeling guilty but, drunk in moderation, it may even confer health benefits.

100% pure, 100% natural

Instant coffee is a 100% pure, natural product with nothing added. That’s great news for anyone who loves their coffee. If you’re like most people, you can happily enjoy 4 to 5 cups a day or 3 to 4 cups if you’re pregnant.

It doesn’t simply taste good … the antioxidant effect

Coffee is a great natural source of antioxidants, with even more than green tea or fruit juices. Antioxidants matter because they ‘soak up’ free radicals, the nasty waste products of exposure to tobacco smoke, radiation and other pollution. Free radicals are also a major contributor to ageing.

With virtually no calories

If you’re on a diet or like to keep an eye on your weight, you’ll be glad to learn that black coffee contains virtually no calories. There’s one less thing to worry about.

A tasty way to top up your fluids

We all need to stay hydrated and most people think that means drinking lots of water. In fact, coffee is just as good and counts towards your 6-8 glasses a day.

Staying sharp

It’s no surprise that the caffeine in a couple of cups of coffee can help you stay alert and sharpen your concentration. That can be really helpful in situations when you need to stay awake. If you’re driving and feel drowsy, stop, have a couple of cups of coffee and take a short nap.

It could even help you at the gym

If you find yourself flagging at the gym, try drinking a cup of coffee 20 minutes before your session. It could help increase your stamina and let you work out for longer.

Can’t you get hooked on coffee?

Although many people drink coffee on a regular basis, and coffee drinking may well be a habit, this does not amount to addiction but is simply a part of everyday life

Keep on enjoying the NESCAFÉ.
