What gives?
According to some studies, coffee is totally safe but only in moderation as it will provide the body antioxidants and some other health benefits. But if you're like me who loves the aroma of coffee but suffers from Insomnia, arrhythmia, and occasional panic attacks especially when there is caffeine, be stronger than coffee and stay away from it.
Difficult? Not really. There is always an alternative.
Introducing Barlico, an Egypt-based health drink which was launched recently here in the Philippines.
As you all know, Barley is part of World's Healthiest Food because of its benefits in heart health. Barley's fiber, potassium, folate, and vitamin B6 content, coupled with its lack of cholesterol, all support a healthy heart.
Truly a great alternative coffee that is safe even for pregnant and breastfeeding mommies. No need to wait out those 9 months or even longer (if breastfeeding) to have your coffee fix as Barlico does not contain any caffeine which can be harmful to pregnant or nursing mommies and their babies alike. Sprouted barley is naturally high in Maltose which can help with increase the supply in breast milk in lactating mothers.
Not only that, chicory a close relative of lettuce and cabbage, has woody and fibrous roots that have a similar flavor as coffee when roasted and brewed. Among its many benefits include better gall bladder and liver function, improved bone health and more effective absorption of calcium by the body.
It is now possible to drink a whole cup of barley in a variety of flavors including :
- Black coffee
- 3-in-1
- Cappuccino
- Chocolate
