Coffee trends lean towards ganoderma infused java...

Coffee Drinking Trends Report

by Scott OBrien

Major Increase in Consumption among Young (News release: July 19th, 2007)
( this might be a few years old but the trend is still growing as of 2009!)

Coffee is now bigger than soft drinks!

Market penetration of coffee among American adults has surpassed that of soft drinks, reversing a 2-decade pattern. Specifically, the National Coffee Association’s just-published 2007 National Coffee Drinking Trends (NCDT) report reveals that 57% of American adults drink coffee daily, while 51% consume soft drinks daily. And 81% of American adults drink coffee, with 67% doing so at least once a week.

Make sure you are drinking the best coffee available – Only shade grown Organic fair trade coffee beans infused with Ganoderma and Cordyceps for daily immune support and enhanced physical performance. Nutricafe makes it easy and delicious to stay healthy!

Daily grind expanding

Daily coffee consumption among 18-24-year olds climbed to 37% — a jump of 6 percentage points over 2006, in a fourth consecutive annual increase, for an overall gain of 21 percentage points since 2003 when market penetration for this age group was only 16%. This segment also now drink 3.1 cups per day, up from 2.5 cups in 2005.

“Coffee is the new ‘black’ among beverages,” said Robert F. Nelson, president and CEO of the National Coffee Association, in a prepared statement. “Coffee is a trend-setting menu option for a new generation of consumers amid an exploding U.S. café culture.” This age group also exhibits the largest increase in daily and weekly gourmet coffee beverage consumption.

Reishi infused Coffee trend growing – and for good reason!

Research has demonstrated that Ganoderma Lucidum has several different active constituents. One group of active constituents is the polysaccharides. The various types of polysaccharides found in Ganoderma Lucidum have demonstrated immune-enhancing properties. This includes enhancement of several important interleukins. Another major class of compounds is the triterpenes. These compounds have been reported to have adaptogenic, anti-hypertensive, and anti-allergy effects.

Cardiovascular Benefits
Ganoderma Lucidum has been shown in some studies to inhibit platelet aggregation and reduce blood pressure. In studies of people with hypertension, researchers found blood pressure was significantly reduced over two-weeks’ time with reishi supplementation.

Immune Benefits
Ganoderma Lucidum is commonly prescribed by practitioners for long-term immune system support. In studies involving patients with advanced tumors, the patients were given Ganoderma Lucidum for thirty days. Researchers found a marked immune-modulating effect as demonstrated by an increase in T lymphocytes and decreased CD8 counts. Patients also reported reduced side effects due to chemotherapy or radiation as well as postoperation recovery.

Blood Sugar Balance
Studies have shown Ganoderma Lucidum to have a blood sugar lowering effect. Much of this activity appears to be due to polysaccharides known as Ganoderans A, B, and C.

It appears there are three main mechanisms behind this hypoglycemic effect. This includes Ganoderma Lucidum’s ability to elevate plasma insulin levels, to enhance peripheral tissue utilization of glucose, and to enhance liver metabolism of glucose.

Anti-inflammatory Effects

Studies have shown that hot-water extracts of Ganoderma Lucidum have anti-inflammatory effects. One study found that 50 milligrams of reishi powder had comparable effects to 5 milligrams of hydrocortisone.

Liver Protector
Ganoderma Lucidum is commonly used for its hepatoprotective (liver protective) action. One study of patients with hepatitis B and elevated liver enzymes (SGOT/SGPT) and bilirubin were given reishi for three months. Significant reduction in SGOT and SGPT were noticed within one month. After three months all values were within normal range.

Oxygenation
One of the unique uses of Ganoderma Lucidum is for altitude sickness. Reishi appears to reduce altitude sickness by oxygenating the blood. This benefit was studied in Asian mountain climbers that ascended mountains as high as 17,000 feet with minimal reaction.

Please pass the grape juice...

There have been several ladies that have had issues with the taste of EnerFood. Only the taste, they love the results. So they search on for the perfect way to take it without the ‘taste’.

Several suggestions of note: Grape juice, seems to hide the taste pretty effectively.  Also, chocolate milk shakes (thank you Leah Lewis) will ‘hide’ taste.  Of note here is that most of these ladies admit that after some time, several months or longer perhaps, these taste issues will fade as you body and taste buds react and become accustomed to EnerFood.

At the end of the day, most admit that truly the benefits to the body far out weigh the negatives associated with taste.

For us here at EnerHealth Botanicals we feel you should just find a way.  Remember there are no rules here.  Mix it however you can (we even have one teen girl who just puts in in her mouth as a powder chews and swallows with some water–not highly recommended) but do try it!  The results over the past 3 years have been nothing short of phenomenal!  The reports have surprised us!  We knew when we made the formula that it was really good, we just had no idea of the changes it has brought to some individuals and their families!

We appreciate all the loyal support we have today! And I urge you to write about your experiences here in this forum or post a comment on the product pages on the web site www.enerfood.com.

The reception of our EnerFood and Coconut Milk Powder has made it possible to focus on other products that are beneficial to you.  NutriCafe, was and idea we had for reaching the ‘masses’.  Most people who drink coffee will not ever give it up…so we decided to make it a bit healthier by starting with a pure Organic coffee naturally lower in caffeine than the regular store stuff and then adding some herbal extracts (Cordyceps, Ganoderma, Coriolus and Agaricus) that can enhance your immune system (Immune support) and another blend of these extracts that not only can enhance immunity but also stamina (performance blend)

Truly a Guilt Free Cup of Java!!

Now we have added the Cocoa Mojo…isn’t that a fun name?  It has the same blend of extracts as the Immune support coffee and we started with ALL Organic cocoa from Peru and Organic Rapadura sugar (from sugar cane) from Brazil.

While all this has been going on we have begun once a month HERBAL Cleansing TeleClasses with Darren Craddock.  They are free and informative.  Darren has a TON of Information he would love for you to have!  Check out the link here

This is getting a bit too long so for now…a huge THANK YOU TO ALL OF OUR CLIENTS!!!  Many times over.

Remember that to change the World one only has to truly change oneself!  Isn’t that a great place to start?

Stay Bold!

The benefits of using cordyceps and ganoderma...

The benefits of using cordyceps and ganoderma, two common medicinal mushrooms also known as reishi or medicinal mushrooms

The cordycepts has its own unique advantage. It has been used for 3-5 000 years in China as an energy boosting ingredient. It was used by the Chinese winter Olympic team.  (china also came home with most of the golds) Their claim is that they used cordyceps with all of their athletes and have done so for many years but especially that Olympic.

This was a primary motivation for adding these performance enhancing herbs to our gourmet coffee - Nutricafe.

People already drink coffee – why not build your physical performance and immune system response at the same time? Our proprietary process completely hides the taste leaving only gourmet rich coffee taste. Better buzz with less caffiene!

More about cordyceps and ganoderma

So it seems to be that cordyceps is a performance enhancing extract. They take it in a powdered form, ground into a powder, Mix it or make tea or sprinkle it on food. Other reishi as they is often known -  are immune boosting, immune enhancing compounds.

Medicinal mushrooms increase T-cell count and immune activity.  They increase the activity (the “speed”) that the immune cells get run around in the body killing off infections. You want to have enough immune cells in the body, you want to have a good balanced combination of all different kind of immune cells and you want them to be doing their job as efficient as possible and that is what these extracts help the body do.

Many people use these herbs when they are in need of extra immune system support.

That is why we offer Immune assist 247, an all natural herbal supplement designed to boost your immune system and Immune assist Critical Care. Many of the enerhealth botanicals products contain herbal infusions for improved immune response and better health. We believe that eating healthy should also taste good!
