When I was six years old
my granddaddy would take me and my twin brother to work with him. Granddaddy worked at night as a security guard
so it was no trouble at all for him to let us go to work with him. And it was just the three of us
so needless-to-say
my granddaddy let us go nut! And I'm sure we drove him nuts
as well.
We had the best granddaddy in the world
just as long as we didn't tell mom
he would let us swear
we could talk about sex
or anything else that we wanted to talk about
and the one thing that mom would have went crazy if she knew that he let us
DRINK COFFEE!
That started a fire that still burns today. My granddaddy introduced me to the greatest drink ever. And still every time I take a drink of coffee
I think about those special times. But
back then
I drank coffee because grown-ups drank it and mom would not let us drink it because it wasn't good for us. I drink for different reasons
now. It really isn't as bad for you as you think.
I've done a lot of research on coffee
and drinking it is not as bad
for you
at all
much to my surprise.
what would you say if I told you there was a natural elixir that could lower your risk of diabetes
colon cancer
or Parkinson's disease? you would think I was crazy
right? Its true.
Researchers from Harvard University followed data on more than 126
0
people for 18 years
and what they found would surprise the heck out of you. The research found that drinking one to three cups of caffeinated coffee daily can reduce diabetes by single digits. But
drinking six or more cups of coffee per day slashed men's risks by 54% and more than 30% in women. The more coffee you drink
the better it is for you.
Here's something else that you may not know. In males
drinking sperm stronger. The studies show that coffee consumption makes sperm swim faster and swim a longer distance. Coffee has actually been linked with infertility. This is a misconception.
Here are a few more points that I've found very interesting for you to read. Like both black and green tea
coffee contains antioxidants
which can help the cell mutation which may lead to cancer.
Surprisingly- given that coffee may be a migraine trigger- the caffeine may cure headaches. It is one of the ingredients in some pills because it increases the power of aspirin and other painkillers by as much as 40%.
Coffee consumption is also a brain stimulant. As coffee is a stimulant
it can help in concentration. Last year Dr Chiara Trombetti
of the humanities Gavazzeni institute in Italy
went as far as suggesting that a morning cup of milky coffee can get sleepy school children off to a good start. However
that is unlikely to be echoed by nutritionists here
who recommended sufficient sleep and good diet as better ways to cope with the mental demands of the brain.
Coffee even promotes liver health! Though doctors cannot explain the link
but studies have shown that coffee drinkers are less likely to develop liver disease
including Cirrhosis of the liver.
Coffee consumption even decreases the need for surgery on gallstones. Women are twice as likely as men to develop gallstones. In one study
women who drank four cups of coffee each day were 25% less likely to need surgery for gallstones than women who weren't coffee drinkers.
Coffee consumption may actually be good for the skin. Caffeine appeared to improve micro-circulation when applied to the skin in one study
making cellulite look better.
Now
I'm sure my Granddaddy didn't take all this information into consideration when he chose to be a coffee drinker. In fact I know he didn't
he chose coffee because he liked it
but he's almost 90 years old now
and I would like to think that his excessive coffee consumption had a little to do with him still being around
but in any case
I'm still glad he is.
As always
I hope you found this article both informative and entertaining. Thank you for reading
and may GOD bless you always
and in always.
