Foodie Friday - Coffee Fruit

The coffee fruit is the flesh that surrounds the coffee bean.  Farmers once threw the fruits back into to soil to fertilize the land but we now know about all the properties of this super food.  Due to the polyphenols found in this fruit it has the ability to boost the immune system, protect against free radicals and also act as an anti-inflammatory.

One of the biggest discoveries about the coffee fruit is that it contains brain derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) which is a critical protein for healthy brain function.  It keeps your brain young.

BDNF is key to learning and memory.  Research shows low levels of BDNF contribute to Alzheimer's Disease, accelerated aging, poor neural development, and many of today's mental diseases.

How can you take this?  The delicious 5 calorie BAI drinks contain BDNF and coffee fruit.  Amazing flavors like Clementine, Iced Tea and Lemonade.
