Coffee Healthy

Archive for December, 2010

Over the years, some nineteen thousand studies have analyzed the many health benefits associated with coffee drinking. If you are a coffee lover, great results will just keep pouring in. Why not take the time to observe coffee and health benefits correlating with it.

Some of the early studies were conducted more for developing information centered on cancer. These studies included smokers, and those who had above average intake of alcohol. Because a common factor was that most of these participants were also coffee drinkers, the studies did not exclude coffee as a causing factor, but just the opposite. So far a number of years coffee was included as a contributing cause of cancer, among other diseases.

When new studies were initiated after 2000, this time a better profile was developed for the studies, and coffee was completely vindicated of have any properties, even in excess, that would lead to cancer of any kind.

Should you be at risk for colon cancer, drinking coffee can lessen your chances of developing it by twenty-five percent. This very fact provides you peace of mind as you know there are other ways of preventing the cancer besides getting the proper tests.

Should type II diabetes run in your family, you’ll have less of a chance of being afflicted with the condition should you consume an adequate amount of coffee. You’ll be pleased to know that it can reduce your risks by a whopping 80 percent.

Do you fear getting gallstones? Well, this is no problem either. Coffee can reduce the risk of you developing such a painful condition by fifty percent. This is far from what conventional wisdom would have you to believe.

Athletes can also benefit from drinking coffee. This is because as a stimulant it gives them added energy and endurance as well as lessens the chances of developing muscle fatigue. So, if you feel as though you are zapped of your energy, why not have a cup of coffee for yourself?

Now that you are aware of coffee and the health benefits associated with it, grab a cup and enjoy! Since you are now aware of those benefits, it is your obligation to share that with others. And, if family members and relatives have a problem with you drinking it, just let them know that coffee actually does more good than harm. It may help to direct them to some information so they can see for themselves if they have trouble believing you. If they are smart, they’ll jump on the bandwagon right along with you.

Coffee and Your Health and Beauty

I love coffee. There have been times in my life where that was all I would drink. I like it just as hot as I can stand it. I like cream and sugar in mine. I’ve heard that if you don’t drink it black, you’re just drinking it for the cream and sugar.For me, I have to agree. I love cream and sugar with a coffee flavor. Some will say that coffee is good for you. I have to disagree, strongly. Coffee has more than 40 toxic chemicals added.

It is highly acid and aids in joint inflammation as well as many other inflammatory diseases. Unless you are supplementing with large amounts of ionized, absorbable calcium, you should limit your coffee consumption to no more than one cup per day.Coffee has been a main staple for me when I’m dieting. I can have coffee for breakfast, lunch, snack and even dinner if Iwant to lose weight fast. I won’t even eat, just drink coffee. Boy, does it work and fast. I used to love crash dieting this way. Mind you, I may not have been fit to be lived with, (my poor husband) but, I lost weight. That was the goal at any cost. I’m lucky it didn’t cost me my marriage. Well, I recently heard some bad news about what all this coffee consumption is doing to me. I decided to get involved with a network marketing company that, well their main products were nutritional items. I’ve always taken vitamins, but these were different. They are higher quality than most super market ones, so therefore they absorb easily.Something included with this company is Natural Health Training. So, I’ve been going to learn about natural health and beauty. I’m in  my early forties and need to start taking better care of myself. So, I go and I learn. What I am learning about coffee consumption is horrifying. Coffee turns your alkaline body acid, in a hurry. Your body has a pH balance, like anything liquid. Your bodily fluids do as well. The human body should optimally have a

pH of 6.8 to 7.2. You can buy pH testing papers at any pet store in the fish area. You can also get them from a pool place. What are your numbers? Most of us are about a 6 to a 6.2 and this is not good. This means that we are in a constant acid, inflammation forming state. What happens to the human body that is in this state? Over time, health and beauty problems start. Almost  every disease you know of starts with inflammation. Here is a small list of diseases that occur from being in this constant acid state.

1. arthritis

2. fibromyalgia

3. Alzheimer’s disease

4. angina

5. arteriosclerosis

6. headaches

7. bleeding gums

8. bone spurs (calcium deposits)

9. cancer

10. chronic fatigue syndrome

11. diabetes

12. eczema

13. joint pain

14. muscle cramps

15. gall stones

16. gout

17. heart disease

18. heart palpitations

19. Hiatal hernias

20. high cholesterol

21. hypertension (high blood pressure)

22. indigestion

23. insomnia

24. kidney stones

25. osteoporosis

And the list goes on… in fact it is believed that there are over 200 degenerative diseases and medical conditions that are related to our bodies being in this acid, inflamation forming state.

So, what is the answer to this problem?The best thing you can do is to learn what makes you acid. I am going to give you a short list here. These are acid forming

foods and drinks.

1. meat

2. dairy

3. coffee (huge problem)

4. tea (herbal OK)

5. soda

6. sugary drinks

7. sugar

8. starchy food such as pasta, bread, crackers, chips

These are a few acid forming foods. I’m certainly not saying you have to give all these up. You should just be conscience of the effects they have on your body. Now a list of alkaline forming foods and drinks.

1. herbal tea

2. fruits

3. veggies

4. legumes

5. nuts (except peanuts)

6. honey

7. agave syrup

8. filtered water

Your diet should consist of mostly these foods. Most of us eat from the first list 80% of the time. If we can turn that around, our bodies would be happier and healthier. What can you do to help alkalize your body, especially if you don’t want to drastically change your diet? Add calcium. Now, I have to tell you that not just any calcium will make a difference. If you are taking a cheap over the counter pill,

you are not even getting enough to bother taking it at all. You are wasting your money and your time. You are flushing it.  If you are taking a high quality pill, you are doing a bit better, not much. It still has fillers and binders to hold it  together. You may absorb 30% calcium. If you are taking it in liquid form, this is better. You don’t have to digest a pill and it is more easily absorbed. The best form for calcium is called Isotonic. Isotonic means “same pressure”. This means  that it is the same pressure as all you bodily fluids so you get maximum absorption. There is no digestion needed. It passes  right through your stomach into your small intestine within 5 minutes and is instantly absorbed. There are a few places where you can look into high grades of calcium.  If you decide that this might be helpful for you, please visit my web site and see if this would be something you would like to purchase to get you started on a path to optimal health.

The above web site gives  much more information on this. I believe 100% that if you learn what your body need, it can heal itself and maintain that health and beauty well into old age. I did a test on myself. After drinking coffee, regular and/or decaf, for many months, my knee joints hurt, my hip joints hurt, my neck muscles hurt, a lot, most of the time. I tried back massages. I took pain killer. It helped temporarily. Then it came back. Granted,  I exercise a lot, but I don’t over do it. So, I tried something. I gave up coffee and black tea. It has now been a month and I do not have knee or hip pain…..at

all. My neck still bothers me if I ride my bicycle too long, but not as badly and not as long. I have not taken pain killer for any kind, for these issues, for 2 weeks. I have not changed anything else in my diet. I am convinced that the coffee/blac k tea was making my body acid and causing inflammation in my joints. Are you having joint pain? How about muscle stiffness? How much coffee/black tea do you drink everyday? You might want to consider trying what I did and stop drinking it for a month and see if your joints and muscles feel better. If, after a  month they don’t, well I guess what worked for me, doesn’t work for everyone. But, you won’t know unless you give it a try. health and beauty.

These days, a lot of people are really taking their health very seriously. One of the many things that one needs to do in order to stay healthy is to watch what they eat or in this case, what they drink. According to medical findings, the continual consumption of foods containing too much fat and stimulants can adversely affect one’s health.

For a lot of people who find a hot cup of Kenya AA coffee irresistible, thankfully there is an alternative of Kenya AA decaf gourmet flavored coffee.

For a pretty long time, the method used for producing decaffeinated coffee was to have the coffee beans soaked in a solvent absorbs the stimulants. This process of decaffeinating coffee raised a lot of concerns by the medical experts regarding the safety of using this process. It was discovered that the solvent that is used for decaffeinating coffee beans somehow find its way into the bodies of the coffee consumers. It is was also announced that decaf coffee that was produced using the solvent process could also cause cancer, because of the safety concerns a lot of people switched from drinking coffee made from this process.

These days, with the technological advancement of processing coffee, Kenya AA coffee beans can made into a wonderful gourmet flavored coffee through a much safer method.  One of the newest methods of producing decaf coffee is by soaking the coffee beans in what is known as Swiss Water.
