DO YOU LIKE COFFEE?

I wake up some mornings and sit and have my coffee and look out at my beautiful garden, and I go, 'Remember how good this is. Because you can lose it.'--Jim Carrey 

Hi, Friends...It has been a beautiful day out....full of sunshine but still a bit chilly to me. But I am not complaining at all because I am thankful for even the sunshine lol. Not too much of an eventful day today in my world. I just started quarter 3 today, In the Yoga Regiment that I have started. My little 7 yr old nephew sam attended today also and again lol...this has been his 4th session. I find it very sweet and cute that the lil guy is truly interested in yoga and looks forward to each yoga class....keep in mind he is the only child in the private class I attend lol. Today we did a lot of different poses....but I will save all that for a yoga blog in the near future. Today I would like to focus on one of my addictions...COFFEE lol! Yes that's right I love me some good ol' java everyday. My favorite Local place for coffee is Adam Bros. Coffee&Music house...they give starbucks a run for their money so to speak lol..Adam Bros. Coffee should be nationwide...GOOD STUFF!  Below is a study done by an M.D. about health and coffee. I like what he has to say so that is why I am sharing it with YOU :-)

Coffee and health: What does the research say?
What does the research say about coffee and health? Is coffee good or bad for You and me?
    Coffee has a long history of being blamed for many ills — from the humorous "It will stunt your growth" to the not-so-humorous claim that it causes heart disease and cancer. But recent research indicates that coffee may not be so bad after all. So which is it — good or bad? The best answer may be that for most people the health benefits outweigh the risks. Recent studies have generally found no connection between coffee and an increased risk of cancer or heart disease. Why the apparent reversal in the thinking about coffee? Earlier studies didn't always take into account that known high-risk behaviors, such as smoking and physical inactivity, tended to be more common among heavy coffee drinkers at that time. However, the research appears to bear out some risks. High consumption of unfiltered coffee is associated with mild elevations in cholesterol levels. And another study found that two or more cups of coffee a day can increase the risk of heart disease in people with a specific — and fairly common — genetic mutation that slows the breakdown of caffeine in the body. So, how quickly you metabolize coffee may affect your health risk. Newer studies have also shown that coffee may have benefits, such as protecting against Parkinson's disease, type 2 diabetes and liver cancer. And it has a high content of antioxidants. But this doesn't mean you should disregard the old maxim "Everything in moderation." Although coffee may not be very harmful, other beverages such as milk and juice contain nutrients that coffee does not. Also, another study shows that men that drink approx: 6 cups of coffee per day have a 60% LESS chance of getting prostate cancer. Finally, heavy caffeine use — on the order of four to seven cups of coffee a day — can cause problems such as restlessness, anxiety, irritability and sleeplessness, particularly in susceptible individuals.

I totally agree with Mr. Hensrud study, but personally I think coffee is also a good cleanser in soap due the anti-oxidents and a great scrubber for those sore rough feet.
