Diabetes Direction

When I was a kid, I was told that drinking coffee stunts a persons growth, so only adults could drink it. As I grew up, I found that it was a taste that you had to get used to. Well, I quickly did get used to it, and now I love to have coffee often. We typically drink a couple of 10 cup pots each day, between the two of us. Steve drinks more of it than I do. Neither of us care for flavored coffee. Our favorite is Breakfast Blend from Gevalia. It is a little pricey, but it is far better than what is found at our grocery store. In a pinch, any will do though!

While enjoying a steaming mug, I decided to look up the health benefits of this delicious beverage, and was pleasantly surprised to find that not only is it not bad for most of us, but it is actually good for us! The more the better! It doesn’t make us short after all. : o)

I found an article at http://men.webmd.com/features/coffee-new-health-food that has a lot of interesting information to read. I plan to do more research on this, as you should too, before being convinced, but it is certainly enough to make me interested in learning more!

According to the article, drinking 6 or more cups of coffee per day can greatly reduce the risk of becoming Diabetic. It also helps with things like colon cancer, Parkinson’s Disease, gallstones, boost mood and even help prevent cavities!

Read the article from the link posted above for the full story. I hope everyone finds this as interesting as I do! If you would like to know more about a certain food, send me an email and let me know! I will do some research and share what I find here. My email address is lorama@swbell.net. I always welcome visitors to email me, and in the mean time…have another cup!
