What kind of coffee can I drink if I have high cholesterol?
Filtered is better for your heart Brewing methods like French press, Turkish coffee, and boiled coffee do not use filters, allowing cafestol to pass directly into your drink. This unfiltered approach may contribute to higher cholesterol levels over time. A study published online April 22, 2020, by the European Journal of Preventive Cardiology found that filtering coffee (for example, with a paper filter) — not just boiling ground coffee beans and drinking the water — was better for health, particularly for older people.
What type of coffee is the healthiest?
Black coffee has the most health benefits without the extra calories and fat from additions like cream, sugar, flavored syrups and sweetened foams, which turn it into a “dessert in a mug,” Mazarin says. Coffee can reduce fat buildup, decrease inflammation and increase protective antioxidants in the liver. To get the best liver-boosting health benefits from coffee, drink it black. However, if you don’t enjoy your morning cup this way, opt for plant-based sugar and creamer alternatives containing low to no sugar.
