3 Health Benefits of This Keto Pumpkin Spice Latte

#1: Boosts Energy and Performance

It should come as no surprise that a coffee drink will help to boost your energy, but did you know that it can also boost your physical performance?

While most people have their cup of coffee to wake up in the morning, athletes have a much more strategic approach.

In one study, Special Forces personnel were given caffeine during an overnight field operation to examine the effects it would have on performance and vigilance during 27 hours of sustained wakefulness.

The researchers concluded that the addition of caffeine was responsible for an improvement of running performance as well as the maintenance of vigilance during the operation[*].

#2: Rich Source of Vitamin A

Pumpkin is one of the best sources of vitamin A out there. In fact, a slice of pumpkin pie has nearly 250% of your recommended daily value[*][*].

Vitamin A is a fat-soluble vitamin and is a crucial component to a range of systems in your body. It plays a role in immunity, vision, gene expression, reproduction, growth and development, and cellular signaling[*].

As a component of eye health, vitamin A helps your eyes absorb light and supports the health of your cornea. It also supports the differentiation and growth of your cells — supporting organs like your heart, lung, kidneys, and liver[*].

#3: Supports Blood Sugar

Part of the spice that makes this pumpkin spice latte so delicious is the rich cinnamon flavor. This spice, which is used all over the world, is a powerhouse when it comes to health benefits.

It not only provides a sweet flavor without raising your blood sugar, but it actually has beneficial effects on insulin resistance and plays a potential role in the prevention of type two diabetes[*][*].

Cinnamon contains health-promoting compounds like cinnamaldehyde, cinnamic acid, and cinnamate, which provide both anti-inflammatory and antioxidant benefits to your body.

The beneficial effects of cinnamon consumption include antimicrobial, anticancer, lipid-lowering, and prevention of cardiovascular disease. In addition, research shows that cinnamon may be beneficial for those with neurological disorders like Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s[*].
