When comparing coffee and chicory, it is important to understand their advantages and disadvantages in terms of their impact on the body and well-being. UAportal tells you more.

Caffeine

When comparing the health benefits of coffee and chicory, it is necessary to take into account the caffeine content in them. The inulin contained in chicory supports digestive health, potentially making it a healthier option, as too much caffeine in coffee can lead to sleep problems.

Antioxidants

In terms of antioxidants, coffee contains more beneficial compounds than chicory, which also helps reduce the risk of heart disease and diabetes.

Effect on the stomach
