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

The caffeine that coffee contains isn't exactly bad for you. When you look at some pain relief products, you will often find that caffeine is in them. This can help you to feel alert and to have more energy. You will even find that your day can be more productive when enjoying this warm beverage. This is one of the reasons why many people turn to an afternoon cup of coffee to help them make it through the day.

You need to be careful though. If you end up drinking coffee too late, there is a good chance that you won't end up sleeping. It will be important that you pay close attention to the clock and know when you need to stop drinking coffee.

Asthma

For those who have trouble breathing, asthma is a real concern. Those who drink coffee on a regular basis are less likely to have asthma attacks. When one does occur, it is also possible to be less severe.

Teeth Protection

Trigonelline is found in coffee and it is what creates the bitter taste and smoky aroma. This is actually an anti-adhesive that has anti-bacterial properties. Studies suggest that this can help you to protect your teeth and lower the risk of cavities.

Lots of studies have been done to show that coffee can help to prevent health concerns. In fact, one study shows that coffee consumed daily can reduce the risks of Alzheimer's and even dementia.

Coffee can also help to fight heart disease. When you add it to a healthier lifestyle, there is a good chance you can decrease health problems that include arrhythmia, hypertension, and Atherosclerotic Disease.

The risk of gall stones is also reduced when you drink coffee on a regular basis. There are compounds found in coffee that help the body to maintain the necessary liquids for the gallbladder and to have enough bile. When there isn't enough bile, there can be obstructions in the intestine. Gallstones can cause a great deal of pain as well as fatigue and jaundice. Drinking coffee daily can reduce that risk by half.

Type II Diabetes is also a very serious health risk due to the many additional health problems it can create for you. Drinking up to 3 cups of coffee per day can reduce the risk by up to 30% for women and up to 60% for men. This is due to the antioxidants called Tocopherol and Chlorgenic. The magnesium coffee offers to your body helps with regulating glucose levels and blood sugar.

Of course, you do need to ensure that you continue drinking it in moderation and monitor what you are putting into the coffee. If you enjoy drink it black, then you will also experience the majority of the health benefits. Just make sure you don't put things in it like artificial sugar that can be harmful to your health.
