Can't get through the day without at least one cup of coffee?
You’re not alone. According to research group McCrindle, 75% of Aussies drink at least one cup of coffee daily, and 28% report consuming three or more cups each day. Coffee is a popular choice for boosting energy, but its benefits go beyond that. Studies show that coffee consumption may reduce the risk of diabetes, while also promoting brain and heart health. Plus, coffee is a rich source of antioxidants, which help combat inflammation and protect the body from damage and disease.
Your Morning Brew & your Gut Microbiome
Recent research has uncovered a positive connection between coffee consumption and gut health. Among more than 150 foods and drinks studied, coffee had the most significant effect on gut microbiome diversity and composition. A more diverse gut microbiome is generally considered a marker of good gut health, and the study found that coffee drinkers were more likely to have a wider variety of beneficial gut bacteria.
The study, conducted across the UK and the US, revealed that coffee positively impacts 115 microbial species, with the strongest effect on Lawsonibacter asaccharolyticus. This particular strain plays a key role in metabolising coffee’s polyphenols, such as quinic acid and chlorogenic acid, turning them into bioactive compounds that support gut and overall health.
The Right Beans & Balance
Ready to sip your way to better gut health? Choosing the right brew can make all the difference to gut microbiome balance.
- Research suggests that enjoying 3-4 cups of coffee daily can significantly enhance gut microbiome diversity, a key marker of digestive wellbeing.
- To maximise the benefits of coffee, opt for high-quality, freshly brewed coffee. These are packed with polyphenols—powerful antioxidants that help to nourish your gut.
- Whether you prefer caffeinated or decaffeinated, both options offer gut-friendly perks, as the positive effects are tied to the unique compounds in coffee rather than just the caffeine. So, brew smart and drink up!
