Coffee contains hundreds of naturally found phytochemicals with beneficial properties. Java junkies will be familiar with the effects of enhanced mental clarity, alertness and energy, but coffee can also increase the effectiveness of a fat burning workout while improving endurance. According to some recent studies, it also contains four times the amount of cancer fighting antioxidants as green tea. In addition, it provides some protection against gallstones, liver and colon cancer, type 2 diabetes, Parkinson's and Alzheimer's disease.

However, the key to wise coffee consumption is quality, not quantity. Meaning organic Arabica beans, which not only boast superior flavor and body, but have the highest levels of phytonutrients and are free of harmful chemicals. Be sure to buy fresh whole beans; unlike pre-ground coffee, the flavor and beneficial properties are intact, that is if you grind the beans just prior to making your cuppa.

Arabica Roasters-the first specialty coffee roasting company in the Chinese mainland-has just launched a line of "well-being"coffees, branded Euphory, with names like 'Naughty but Nice'and 'Switched On', blended from 100 per cent certified organic beans.
