Addicted to #PSL pumpkin spice latte like me? Who doesn’t look forward to this fall treat!
Where is your favorite place to indulge in a #PSL…Starbucks, Panera, Scooters, Dunkin’Donuts, McDonald’s or? I’d love to hear from you about your favorite place!
Well no matter where you like to buy your #PSL you might be surprised about the caffeine, sugar and fat content. Here are the nutrition facts to consider to help you select a healthier choice.
Is coffee really good for your health? There are both pros and cons to consider about the health benefits of beverages containing caffeine.
Pros:
Fights Free Radicals: Coffee is a plant that contains antioxidants which may prevent chronic diseases.
Improves Memory: Research has shown that people who drank caffeinated coffee out performed those who didn’t in learning new information.
Cons:
Increases Osteoporosis Risk: Coffee slowly decreases the calcium levels in your body. Consider adding an 8oz cup of yogurt or milk on days when your caffeine intake is higher.
More Wrinkles: Drinking too much coffee results in dehydration causing your skin to wrinkle. Include a glass of water with your cup of Joe!
