Because I base all of my posts on absolute medical data that I have compiled after spending hours and hours poring over medical journals, I have interesting and useful ways of improving my health and, hopefully, yours too. I hope you appreciate all I do for you (the millions of readers that I have that never leave a comment).
Okay, so you saw through it. Basically, whatever strikes my fancy is what I write about. BUT, I will let you in on a little secret. I swear that I get my best tips by reading magazines. I am an addict when it comes to them. I've been thinking about subscribing to more just to save money. In the mail I get Woman's Day, Family Circle, and Better Homes & Gardens. Ummm...no, I'm not 70 years old. I'm 37, but I LOVE these magazines. In fact, just receiving them makes me feel a little grown up--which is good considering how abnormally immature I am. Seriously, my mom gets these same magazines.
Here's what I just learned in the March issue of Woman's Day: people who drink 3-4 cups of coffee a day (regular or decaf) had a 25% lower risk of diabetes than non-coffee drinkers. they got that from the "Archives of Internal Medicine"--sounds official so I'm believing it. Now, one would assume (duh!) that these coffee drinkers are not loading it up with sugar and cream--like I USED to. I love it when I see the error of my ways. Or just how I used to eat like I was invincible.
These days when I enjoy my coffee (normally just one cup a day for me), I use agave nectar as a sweetener. Yes, it's more expensive and no, I doesn't taste exactly like sugar, but it doesn't effect blood sugar like regular old table sugar does. I also have a few drops of light cream in my coffee.

Today, I just might have a second cup as my daily dose. What are you drinking?

Guess I may be in trouble. I've tried to be a coffee drinker and I just can't stand the stuff!
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by my blog. I look forward to seeing what other useful information you have to share!
ROFL, Cricket I think I may randomly tell you to eat/drink something totally awful just to see if you do it.
ReplyDeleteDr.Oz says that coffee is also helpful in weight loss, I forgot why. Sometimes when people speak all I hear after the first few words is Blah Blah Blah.
