We’re celebrating National Coconut Day with some delicious Maud’s flavors!  Don’t be coconuts, get this deal before it’s over.

Coffee is an incredibly popular daily beverage. One survey found that 66 percent of Americans had at least some coffee in the past day, and the average joe-drinker has more than three cups of the stuff daily. So studying its effects on our health is important.

For many people, coffee boosts gut motility (i.e., it makes you poop) because it triggers the gastrocolic reflex that tells your large intestine to clear out, and it stimulates production of the hormone gastrin, which helps create stomach acid. Staying regular and flushing out old food is a great way to get rid of bacteria you don’t need anymore in your colon. There are consequences if they don’t get pushed out.

Coffee also brims with anti-oxidants, minerals, and organic plant compounds that are good for us. While we’re still not totally clear on all the mechanisms behind how coffee boosts our health.
