I read these while drinking my
COFFEE this morning:
Drinking Caffeine
No one is saying that you should drain the coffeepot twice over before 10 a.m., but research shows that a reasonable amount of coffee does you more good than harm. Not only is coffee no longer associated with heart disease and stroke, but it also has antioxidants. It's been shown to fight Parkinson's disease, type 2 diabetes and liver cancer.
New research published in The Archives of Internal Medicine also found that women who drank two to three cups of coffee daily had a 15 percent lower risk of depression than those who didn't, as the coffee helped regulate their moods.
If coffee isn't your thing, other caffeine sources are just as good. Various studies have shown that caffeine increases memory, detoxes the liver, increases stamina during exercise and fights Alzheimer's. As with all of these habits, make sure not to get carried away-more than four cups per day can have adverse health effects like insomnia, irritability and restlessness.
Chocolate
Something tells us we might not have to work too hard to convince you of this one. But in case you're still resisting your co-worker's snack drawer, we'll tell you that The Daily Beast compiled 11 different research-supported reasons that chocolate-especially dark chocolate-benefits your health. Here are some of the standouts:
-Eating 45 grams (about two bars) or more of chocolate per week reduces your risk of stroke, thanks to the dessert's antioxidants.
-One weekly serving of chocolate prevents blood clots.
-A compound found in chocolate may prevent the growth of cancerous cells. It can lengthen your life: The oldest woman on record lived 122 years and ate 2.5 pounds of chocolate per week.
the type chocolate they’re speaking of.
But I got this. I keep this STOCKED.
