Why Chicory is Important
Chicory root comes from an herbaceous plant in the dandelion family. Its naturally caffeine-free root is roasted and ground and used as a coffee substitute due to its creemy rich flavor.
In addition to its great taste, chicory has a high amount of inulin which works as a natural fiber, eases constipation, and enhances immune system.
Chicory can benefit your everyday routine, whereas coffee can lead to such undesirable consequences as digestive issues, insomnia, fatigue, nervousness and crashes throughout the day.
Naturally caffeine-free
Many people cannot imagine a morning without a cup of coffee. However, caffeine drives the adrenal glands to produce stress hormones which produce mood swings, insomnia, and impair digestion and nutrition.
Repeated caffeine consumption, combined with stress, increases one’s cortisol levels which puts the body in to a chronic state of stress. Chronic long-term exposure to stress hormones disrupts the body’s metabolism causing elevated blood sugar and high cholesterol.
You can quit caffeine and it’s negative effects by switching to caffeine-free coffee alternative such as chicory.
Acid free
Chicory is acid free and can help with digestive issues such as acid reflux and indigestion while coffee, both caffeinated and decaffeinated, is highly acidic and may cause an increase in gastric acids.
You can greatly decrease your risk of irritating the intestinal walls by limiting your coffee intake while still enjoying the rich cup of coffee-like chicory beverage without side effects associated with coffee.
Prebiotic
Chicory has high levels of inulin that is food for digestive flora. It travels through the human GI tract mostly undigested to the colon where it helps establish abifidus bacteria enhancing creation of B vitamins and the absorption of minerals like calcium and iron.
This prebiotic soluble carbohydrate helps improve gut health, relieve constipation, and control blood sugar.
