Bottomless Cup Of Coffee
All the health news today tells you what you’re doing wrong and what you should be doing right. Hey, that’s what we do. But sometimes you just want to eat deep fried ice cream and not hear how it’ll kill you before midnight. But what if you were doing something that you enjoyed, not thinking about health, and you found out it was actually good for you? Well, it’s not deep fried ice cream…that’ll kill you well before midnight.
It’s your morning coffee. The only thing you look forward to on weekdays is actually a healthy drink. Coffee now ranks as America’s #1 source of antioxidants. While that may be a reflection on too little fruits and vegetables in our diet, antioxidants from coffee are still a good thing. Antioxidants neutralize free radicals, which damage our cells and lend their hand in aging and disease. Free radicals are by-products of our normal body processes, and we also pick them up from outside sources like pollution. Antioxidants mop up free radicals before they do their damage. Although antioxidants can’t get all the free radicals, the more antioxidants you eat and drink the better. There’s a good amount of antioxidants in coffee, and coffee’s antioxidants seem to be readily absorbed the body.
One of coffee’s antioxidants is chlorogenic acid, which has also shown to slow the absorption of sugar into the body. This action of chlorogenic acid may explain why coffee reduces the risk of developing type-2 diabetes. Although both decaf and regular coffee reduced the risk, the effect was greater in regular coffee. Coffee has also been shown to make people exercise longer. As has been rammed down our throats for a while now, exercise is hugely important for your health. Even Harvard is telling us that moderate coffee consumption is healthy. They claim that coffee may reduce the risk of developing gallstones, discourage the development of colon cancer, improve cognitive function, reduce the risk of liver damage in people at high risk for liver disease, and reduce the risk of Parkinson’s disease. With coffee being so good for us, do we even need to exercise? No one answer that.
At least we all know of one thing we’re doing right, and we did it before we were told to. So what if you can’t sleep and spend $30 a day at Starbucks? It’s all for your health.

What a pile of crap!!!! If the Americans think that drinking endless amounts of coffee is good for them then let them get on with it - thick bunch of twats. Try eating fresh fruit and vegetables - watercress - neutralises free radicals and is actually healthy and good for you and not full of caffeine (something which is not that good for you). Maybe by eating all the fresh fruit and veg they may not be so grotesquely overweight!!!
Americans - you are a breed unto yourselves.

Pretty good article. As a person i donot know much about chemical elements and compounds so i have found the article a little bit had for me to understand but its good in a way that it gives credit about taking coffe, which is one of my favorite.
Michala, from the article: “While that may be a reflection on too little fruits and vegetables in our diet, antioxidants from coffee are still a good thing.”
I think that’s agreement with you — just noting that in the absence of all else, coffee does have some benefits. I doubt they’re saying that coffee makes a substitute for a healthy diet.
I do not beleive have the crap they hand us nowadays as to what is good for us or what isn’t.I still think..everything in moderation..exercise, sleep…and we will all live till the good Lord calls our number..Fr. Janet in Canada
Michala Ward said it all!!!!!!!
Hi,
I must commend your write ups on healthy. it is something refreshingly useful to all, and i think its an eye-opener on a lot of issues bothering on health.
Take for instance, i never knew the important role coffee plays in the human body, rather, i had always thought that too much cafein in the body system is damaging.
However, what happens to people like us who experience stomach cramp after taking a cup of coffee? What to do about that. Please advise.

to Michala Ward:
What a typical anti-American comment. Can someone tell me what we ever did to the rest of the world (besides having our young men die saving Europe - twice - and giving billions of taxpayer dollars in aid to undeserving countries who then spit in our face) to deserve this attitude? What a bunch of envious mediocrities…
Good advice
