BrandStar’s The Balancing Act on Lifetime Television “Perks Up” The Morning With News About The Health Benefits of Coffee

BrandStar Entertainment’s The Balancing Act on Lifetime Television will perk up millions of viewers when it reveals the health benefits of coffee. The show features a special appearance by world renowned coffee icon Juan Valdez, and an interview with Juan Esteban Orduz, the president of the Colombian Coffee Federation in North America. Orduz serves up a carafe of comprehensive facts about coffee, while providing the enlightening history of the National Federation of Coffee Growers of Colombia. The segment airs May 14th and can also been seen at www.thebalancingact.com/coffee.

  “Studies have suggested that coffee may help reduce the risk of a number of diseases and ailments including Type 2 diabetes, Parkinson's, colon cancer, cirrhosis, gall stones, depression and more,” explains Orduz. “Currently major medical centers and universities are contributing to our knowledge about what components in coffee help in the disease-fighting process.”

On the show, Orduz also details the rich history and traditions of the Colombian Coffee Federation.

“Contrary to popular belief, it’s not mass produced--the average farm is less than 4 acres,” he explains. “These are family-run farms with a rich cultural heritage and diversity in people.”

 The symbol of this outstanding legacy since 1960 is Juan Valdez, who is the quintessential “cafetero” or coffee grower.  His mission is to symbolize the proudly kept traditions of those hard-working men and women who pick every bean by hand, and are 100% committed to their families, their communities and the environment.

“We are honored to have both Juans on our show,” says Doug Campbell, Executive VP of Programming for BrandStar Entertainment, the producers of The Balancing Act TV show. “And we are all delighted to learn about the health benefits of our beloved pick me up!”
