And that’s not all. Pesticide dangers can be transferred from mothers to their fetuses. In fact, researchers in California discovered that pesticide exposure increased the risk of autism spectrum disorders (ASD) in kids whose moms were exposed to pesticides. 

So look for an organic brand. Organic foods are regulated, making them safer options. No harmful pesticides are used in the growth process of these products, and they’re free of genetically modified organisms (GMOs). 

Look for a lightly roasted coffee bean. “The antioxidant effects of coffee are related to compounds called chlorogenic acids,” Peter Martin, M.D., director of the Vanderbilt University Institute for Coffee Studies, tells Men’s Health. “Roasting green coffee beans transforms these acids into better antioxidants, but if you keep on roasting them, they break down again.”

Caffeine: Timing Is Everything

Think about what time you choose the caffeinated version of your favorite coffee blend. It's common knowledge that caffeine is a stimulant. These effects can last for hours, which can make it difficult to sleep at night. This is why it’s a good idea to call it quits on caffeinated coffee in the afternoon. 

Instead, choose a healthy, decaffeinated drink. This is a great time to get those recommended eight glasses of water in. If regular water bores you, consider adding lemon or a sprig of mint. You can also try a low-sugar fruit juice option. Decaf coffee would also be a good choice, but some health experts say that decaf versions may raise your risk of developing rheumatoid arthritis (RA).
