Espresso coffee is one of the things that Italians are most famous for in the world. Not just pizza and pasta, then. Obviously, always talking about the culinary world. Coffee, although very good and a real pleasure to share with friends, is not for everyone. There are many who do not appreciate the flavor, for example. But there are others who unfortunately have to do without it for health reasons. In fact, those who suffer from tachycardia and insomnia must give up this drink with an unmistakable aroma.
Coffee is not coffee
In Italy we are used to calling it coffee but it is actually a drink. In fact, whether it is prepared in the mocha or using the soluble one, it has nothing of the coffee. First of all, caffeine, the substance that must be consumed in moderation to avoid problems. We have already talked about it in this article “For a safer consumption of caffeine here are the tips to avoid bad consequences”.
We are talking about barley coffee, the ideal coffee substitute that not everyone knows.
Few drink it but this coffee is good for the lazy intestine and does not lead to insomnia
Barley coffee is a drink that appeared in Italy during the Second World War. At that time it was difficult to find coffee and the Italians decided to find an alternative. Thus was born the habit of having barley coffee at the bar.
In reality, however, barley coffee has a lot of health benefits. Barley is one of the oldest cereals and is rich in fiber, carbohydrates and vitamins. Thanks to its composition it is a perfect food for those suffering from digestive problems. In a recent study, researchers showed that it improves bowel function. But it also has beneficial effects on lipid metabolism.
Therefore, it is true that even if few drink it, this coffee is good for the lazy intestine and does not lead to insomnia. Barley coffee doesn’t have a good reputation due to acrylamide. A substance that has been found to be carcinogenic in animal studies. But it is not only formed in barley but also when roasting coffee beans or baking bread. EFSA has spoken out and also established some sort of tolerable dose. So like everything let’s consume it in moderation.
