Alpha Joe Coffee Coming (aka, Bomb Proof Coffee)

[WillBrink]

Will. I'm an AJ junkie... Is more than one scoop a day safe? I mean maybe 1.5 - 2 scoops a day on high coffee days? On some days I get by with 16 ounces of coffee... Some days I need 32. I've been afraid to dump in another scoop on refills.

To all of you java junkies out there, AJ is worth it. I've been using for well over a year now. I'd absolutely have to make my own lab if Will ever stopped selling this stuff. He posts the recipie, but there's no way I could make it as good for the same cost. Try it...

I do 1-2 scoops depending on mood, etc, and no issues. Three ingredients are very safe all around. 10 years +, I gave away the recipe to anyone who wanted to make it themselves and still do.

Thanks. I'll buy yours as long as it's around. I couldn't make it as well.

All, this may be a way to super charge ye coffee + alphajoe experience, and adds flavor to boot. I have generally brushed off the claims of benefits of honey in the face of its sugar/fructose content, etc. However, I have read 7 studies that make it clear to me honey likely has some unique benefits on various targets of aging and health. As usual, more/larger studies are needed, yet I think it can’t be ignored at this point. I will continue to research the topic and do a full write up asap, but I will likely add 1-2 t-spoons to my daily coffee + AlphaJoeCoffee for the potential added health benefits and pleasant taste. One of those studies mentioned:

"A Review on the Protective Effects of Honey against Metabolic Syndrome"

Abstract

Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is a cluster of diseases comprising of obesity, diabetes mellitus, dyslipidemia, and hypertension. There are numerous pre-clinical as well as human studies reporting the protective effects of honey against MetS. Honey is a nutritional food low in glycemic index. Honey intake reduces blood sugar levels and prevents excessive weight gain. It also improves lipid metabolism by reducing total cholesterol (TC), triglyceride (TG), low-density lipoprotein (LDL) and increasing high-density lipoprotein (HDL), which leads to decreased risk of atherogenesis. In addition, honey enhances insulin sensitivity that further stabilizes blood glucose levels and protects the pancreas from overstimulation brought on by insulin resistance. Furthermore, antioxidative properties of honey help in reducing oxidative stress, which is one of the central mechanisms in MetS. Lastly, honey protects the vasculature from endothelial dysfunction and remodelling. Therefore, there is a strong potential for honey supplementation to be integrated into the management of MetS, both as preventive as well as adjunct therapeutic agents.

Honey, Just Added Sugar Or Medical Food? 🤔

"From cup to clock: exploring coffee's role in slowing down biological aging"
Abstract

Background: Previous research has proposed that coffee consumption may have potential health benefits, yet the effect of coffee on one's biological age has not been determined to date. The purpose of this study is to investigate the influence of coffee drinking on biological aging. Methods: Participants were chosen from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) and had to meet the selection criteria. Coffee consumption was evaluated through two 24-hour dietary questionnaires. Biological age was measured using both the PhenoAge and KDM-BA algorithms. Multiple linear and logistic regression models were adopted to analyze the association of coffee consumption with biological aging. Results: A total of 13 384 participants with an average daily coffee consumption of 1.73 cups were included.
Participants with higher coffee consumption tended to be older, male, non-Hispanic white; had a higher educational level beyond high school; were more likely to be married; had better financial status; and were less likely to smoke or engage in excessive drinking. These individuals with higher coffee consumption exhibited a younger biological age in relation to their chronological age, as indicated by lower mean advancements in PhenoAge and KDM-BA scores. Furthermore, coffee intake was found to be inversely related to PhenoAge and KDM-BA progressions, as well as to the chances of accelerated biological aging, both in unadjusted and adjusted models. These associations remained consistent across all age and gender groups. Additionally, some heterogeneity was also observed among body mass index and physical activity categories.
Conclusions: Coffee drinking was inversely related to biological age advancements and the likelihood of accelerated biological aging. Moderate coffee consumption may offer substantial benefits in reducing biological aging.
