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 ...

What can coffee do for your skin?

Good morning everyone, welcome back to another edition of The MF Products Blog. Today we’re going to be looking at coffee and what it can do for you cosmetically. Specifically, the largest organ on your body. No, its not the liver. It’s in fact, the skin. Yes! The skin that’s all over your body is indeed an organ and since it’s everywhere we should take the most care with it. At least that’s what we think at MF Products .   Anyways, many people go through life having sensitive skin and they endure this treacherous and tedious search in trying to find that ‘special’ cream that will magically dispose of any breakouts or redness when really there’s a game changer right in front of them (not literally, but you get where I’m going with this). The truth is… MF Coffee has been the saviour this whole time. In fact, a study was published that showed that Japanese women between the ages of 30 to 60 who drank coffee had significantly less markers of aging. So that meant less wrinkles ...

How to make the MF Seamoss face mask.

  Facecare is arguably the most underlooked aspect of self-care on the human body, ironically, it’s the most sensitive part too. As a result, a great deal of these products on the high street shelves claim to be good for the skin but in reality, are not. The chemicals and toxins inputted in these products are artificial and therefore struggle to benefit the skin. In fact, in most case scenarios, they make the skin worse. That’s why the MF team decided to create a facecare blog today because we care about not just our customers but society as a whole too. This, therefore, brings us to the creation of the MF Seamoss facemask. The contents inside sea moss are, of course, natural and healthy for the body. This means, if they’re healthy for the body, they must be healthy for the skin too. You will need: -           MF Seamoss gel (check out our previous blog on how to make that) -           Chlor...
