So This Is Christmas

Merry Christmas is such an infectious feeling I like to feel that way all year around.

So if you are visiting just before Christmas, just after Christmas or even here on Christmas day I am sure you will find something of interest for you and in the spirit of Christmas.

It may be said that Christmas is no longer a celebration but this must be spoken by people that have never had trouble closing their eyes on Christmas Eve in an expectation of what maybe left for them on the carpet under the tree.

I continue to look forward to the surprise on my Grandchild's faces to this day at Christmas events.

Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas

Does Drinking Coffee Offer Any Health Benefits?

By Ray Marsh


Millions of people all over the world wake up each morning with a cup of coffee. While it is common knowledge that the stimulant characteristic of coffee can help some people to be awake, there are other health risks that could come about from drinking a lot of coffee. Research has proven some of the effects of drinking coffee in moderation might be beneficial. Yet, some of the other side effects of coffee drinking in large amounts may be more harmful for your health than good. This article will explore a few of the other health effects that drinking coffee may have.

One of the immediately noticeable benefits of drinking coffee is the boost to short term memory. Coffee beans contain an ingredient that actually stimulates short-term memory. This knowledge is particularly useful for students preparing for exams.

Coronary artery disease, or heart disease, is a serious condition that researchers are associating with drinking heavy amounts of coffee. The research tells about how coffee drinking can be linked to the higher of the markers in the body that have to do with inflammation. In most instances, research has shown that the inflammation affects the cardiovascular system in a bad way. These large amounts of caffeine can greatly increase cholesterol levels, which is a huge factor for raising the risk of coronary artery disease. It was also discovered that a lot of those negatively affected patients were also had other factors that can cause heart disease, such as smoking, drinking heavy amounts of alcohol and living a sedentary lifestyle. Researchers seem to think that people that drink less than 3 cups on a daily basis may help the health of their hearts and not negatively impact it. The key is drinking coffee in moderation and reducing exposure to other substances that could increase your risk of coronary heart disease.

As if the health concerns of drinking coffee were not enough, there is also a cosmetic impact to consider. Coffee drinkers often complain of stained teeth that can become yellowed or even a mild shade of brown as a result of heavy coffee drinking. Consuming large amounts of coffee also leads to dehydration a symptom of which is dry skin. Drinking regular coffee can also lead to dehydration and dry skin. Dehydration by drinking regular coffee can also lead to excessively dry skin. Wrinkles in the hands and face are often the first visible sign if dry skin. New stretch marks or an increased prominence in existing stretch marks is another sign of dry skin.

The sugar you add to your coffee doesn't help either. There are benefits to enjoy by drinking coffee in moderation. Too much coffee though causes just as many potential health problems. If you really are interested in the potential health benefits of coffee, it's important to limit yourself to cups a day.
