Most people start their day with a strong cup of coffee, and drink it instead of breakfast. Nutritionists recommend replacing morning coffee with chicory, which has a beneficial effect on the body. What is chicory useful for?
Regular consumption of the drink helps to increase the amount of beneficial microflora in the intestines (which will help better absorption of vitamins), facilitate digestion, and eliminate constipation.
Thanks to the inulin contained in chicory, the glucose level gradually decreases at elevated values, which is important for people with diabetes.
The drink, rich in vitamins and microelements, helps to restore strength, relieve the condition and reduce the duration of the illness.
Frequent drinking of coffee, especially natural and without milk, can lead to a number of health problems, for example, the development of hypertension, insomnia, increased anxiety, and nausea. Chicory does not contain caffeine, but otherwise is a great alternative to coffee.
A drink made from chicory helps in the production of its own collagen, which means it makes our skin smoother and more toned.
Despite the obvious benefits, some categories of citizens are not recommended to consume chicory. These are people prone to allergies, as well as pregnant and lactating women.
