What are the health benefits of light roast coffee?

"Light roast coffee" has been all the rage lately. It's known for its sour and fruity taste, but did you know that it also has many great health benefits ?

This time, we will introduce the health benefits you can expect from light roast coffee, including research data and expert opinions.

High in antioxidants and reduces inflammation in the body

Light roasted coffee contains a lot of chlorogenic acid , a type of polyphenol, which has antioxidant properties and is said to reduce oxidative stress and inflammation in the body.

The amount of chlorogenic acid decreases the more the coffee is roasted, so lightly roasted coffee has more of it.

Supports fat burning and boosts metabolism

The chlorogenic acid in light roasted coffee is said to promote the breakdown of fat and increase basal metabolism. In addition, combined with the effects of caffeine, drinking it before exercise can help you consume energy more effectively.

Activates the brain and supports concentration and mental well-being

It is well known that caffeine has a stimulating effect, but some research suggests that combining it with chlorogenic acid may have a neuroprotective effect on the brain and improve concentration .

It is also recommended to try light roast coffee when you want to spend the day with a clear head or before working on a task that requires concentration.

A light roast that gives you a delicious taste you can keep drinking

Compared to dark roasts, light roast coffee has a milder bitterness and a more fruity acidity and aroma. The appeal of light roast coffee is that it is delicious and ultimately good for your body, rather than something you have to endure for the sake of your health.
