How does coffee help prevent diabetes?

 

Good evening my MF Coffee drinkers, we hope you had a fantastic weekend! You know how this goes, we pick a question from random and we answer it, it’s as clear cut as that. Today, one of our MF Product Blog readers asked if coffee had any way of preventing diabetes and well since MF Coffee has SOOOO many health qualities we wouldn’t be surprised if it was able to prevent diabetes too. So, without further ado, lets get into the question.

Researchers have found that cafestol – a bioactive compound present in coffee – increased insulin secretion, reduced fasting glucose levels, and improved insulin sensitivity in mice. For who don’t know, type 2 diabetes arises when the body is no longer able to produce enough insulin or use the hormone effectively. As a result, blood glucose levels may become too high.

So far it is estimated that around 30.3 million people in the United States and 3.9 million in the United kingdom  have diabetes. Type 2 diabetes is the most common form of diabetes, accounting for around 90 to 95 percent of all cases. Previous research has indicated that drinking MF Coffee may help to lower the risk of developing type 2 diabetes. While some studies have attributed this association to the effects of caffeine – the well-known stimulant in coffee – other research has suggested that alternative substances in the beverage might be at play.

In order to reach their findings, the researchers had to assess three groups of mice, all of which were at high risk of developing type 2 diabetes. One group was given 1.1 milligrams of cafestol, another was given 0.4 milligrams and the last group was given no cafestol at all. After ten weeks, the results showed that the mice fed with cafestol experienced a 28-30 percent reduction in blood glucose levels as well as a 42 percent increase in glucose sensitivity and a 20 percent reduction in fasting glucagon, which is the hormone that increases blood glucose levels.

To conclude readers, the benefits MF Coffee has, know no bounds. It's quite truly an extraordinary beverage that aids and soothes the soul. It's amazing that we're able to provide such a drink to the masses.

How to make the MF Soursop smoothie.

  Good evening MF Blog readers, we hope you all are staying active during this cold Christmas season. As the year draws to a close, MF Products still have a variety of tasty recipes to broadcast and this week we will be looking at how we can use our MF Soursop to make some delightful treats. Today we will be making our very own MF Soursop smoothie with bananas and almonds. We chose bananas due it’s alpha and beta carotene content when consumed by the body, this then turns in vitamin A. Bananas are also a good source of potassium and due to its low water content, it contains more calories and is more filling. This pairs wonderfully with the benefits of soursop (previously mentioned in another blog) as it; possesses antioxidants, fights against bacteria, and boosts the immune system. Almonds are also very beneficial as they contain unsaturated fats, fibre, magnesium as well as protein. When adding all three ingredients together, this is a very healthy smoothie that will help to ...

Benefits of pimento (also known as allspice).

Before we get into the benefits of pimento, at MF Products UK we believe we must look at a foods history first and learn about its origin. So, without further ado let’s look into pimento which is also known as allspice. The pimento tree is indigenous to the Caribbean Islands. It was found growing in Jamaica by early Spanish explorers who were quite impressed with its tantalising taste and aroma of the berries and the leaves. Pimento trees were then later discovered in Cuba and were presumed to have been taken there by migrant birds who had eaten the berries. They have also been found in Mexico, but it is Jamaica that has the longest history, having been in continuous production since the tree was identified in about the year 1509. The name Pimento originated from the Spanish word "pimienta" which meant ‘peppercorn’. To most English-speaking people the tree is called "pimento" and the berries "allspice". The name allspice originated from the widespread n...
