I get emails from a dr.william campbell douglass and there has been recent studies indicating coffee helps your health.. Right here.
www.realhealthnews.com...
caffeine in coffee blocks a key biochemical called adenosine that is produced in large quantities during strenuous exercise - which greatly reduces
pain and muscle soreness, according to a recent University of Georgia study published in the Journal of Pain. Your morning "cuppa joe" is also
chock-full of other benefits - things like reducing your risk of colon cancer and gallstones, plus infusing your cells with as many disease-fighting
antioxidants as 3 fresh oranges.
Now, you may be thinking: Doc, if you don't want people to over-exercise, why are you telling them about how the caffeine in java makes it LESS
painful to exercise? Look, don't get me wrong - if you like exercising, great. If it makes you feel good (or good about yourself), then by all means
don't stop. Just don't go overboard. And don't flush away with H20 all of your morning coffee's benefits because the health nuts say you
should.
It is funny, though (and tragic), that most of those in the mainstream who are fanatical about their health are CUTTING OUT the healthy coffee and
caffeine, while risking the consequences of exercising more and more in the name of health... When they SHOULD be doing the exact opposite.
back off topic: I'm going to get another cup of coffee, and i'll think i'll drink it black this time...
And salt does ruin everything, I will agree... I try not to use too much salt because my grandpa had 5 heart attacks and salt was part of the
