4 Health Benefits of Decaf Coffee

4 Health Benefits of Decaf Coffee

While regular coffee is one of the most popular beverages in the world, millions have turned to decaf coffee beans to limit their caffeine intake for personal preferences or health reasons. 

So what is decaffeinated coffee, anyway? Decaf beans have had at least 97% of their caffeine content removed using various processing methods. There are three main ways to extract caffeine from a coffee bean: the water method, the direct solvent method, and the supercritical carbon dioxide method.

Once the caffeine is extracted from the beans in the solvent, the solvent is removed. Another way to create decaf coffee beans is by the swiss water decaf process where the caffeine is removed using carbon dioxide or a charcoal filter. 

Regular coffee tastes a little different from decaf, but the switch can benefit you in the long term. Here are 4 health benefits of decaffeinated coffee beans. 

1. Decaf Coffee Beans are Lower in Acidity Than Normal Coffee

Regular coffee is acidic which can lead to heartburn, acid reflux, or other uncomfortable side effects. Decaffeinated coffee may relieve these symptoms as it contains a much lower acidity content. If you have chronic heartburn or gastroesophageal reflux disease, decaf coffee beans are the better option for you. 

2. Decaffeinated Coffee Contains Same Antioxidants as Regular Coffee

Just like normal coffee, decaffeinated coffee is loaded with antioxidants and nutrients. So for those of you that drink coffee strictly for its antioxidants, switching to decaf coffee should be an easy choice. Decaffeinated coffee beans contain fewer antioxidants, but they are still very effective at preventing damage caused by free radicals.

3. Decaf Coffee Beans Lower Risk of Type 2 Diabetes 

Many coffee drinkers believe that caffeine content lowers the risk of various health conditions. However, decaffeinated coffee has been shown to have similar effects. So it isn’t just caffeine that reduces the risk of Type 2 Diabetes. 

Decaf coffee beans can be just as beneficial as regular coffee without exposing yourself to the adverse side effects of regular coffee, such as jitters or digestive issues. 


4. Decaf Coffee Beans Can Improve Sleep and Reduce Anxiety 

For some people, a single cup of coffee can be excessive and cause adverse side effects, while others may feel nothing. If you’ve found caffeine overwhelms you or causes nervousness, anxiety, or trouble sleeping, decaffeinated coffee is for you. 

Caffeine is a powerful stimulant that can destroy your sleep schedule and even cause insomnia. Switching to decaf coffee beans can improve your sleep, making you feel calmer and more energized in the morning. In addition, lowering your caffeine intake can reduce anxiety, especially for anxiety disorders.
