As we know, yesterday was the first day of fall and with that comes this perfectly timed question: Is hot coffee or iced coffee better for you? This is what we found…

Hot coffee has higher levels of antioxidants that iced coffee does. Antioxidants inhibit oxidation but how does that benefit you? Antioxidants have incredible health benefits like lowering your risk of cancer, heart disease, diabetes, and premature death.

Smelling hot coffee in the morning can not only help you wake up it can also lower your stress levels. There was a study done that showed that one sniff of hot coffee in the morning reduces the effects of sleep deprivation like stress and tiredness.

If you like cold brew or iced coffee better, this is for you…

Coffee in general is a good source of antioxidants but iced coffee can be even more helpful in reducing the risk of heart attacks.

Iced coffee typically has less caffeine which is good for those who like to drink a lot of coffee but generally end up feeling shaky (Tory). Iced coffee is also less acidic which is better for your digestive system and your teeth.

Science shows that there’s benefits to both! Whichever one you like better is the one that you should drink!
