Coffee And Tea I Love You Cause You Protect Me! And MMMMMMMM You Are Dellicious!


Coffee and Tea-Have Some With ME!


Great news for all of us who enjoy their daily dose of coffee and tea!!! According to Australian researchers subjecs lowered their risk of type 2 diabetes by 7 percent for every cup of coffee they drank regardless of whether it was decaf or regular (the benefits topped out at six cups per day). And those who sipped three to four cups per day of black tea daily, reduced their diabetes risk by a whopping 25 percent!!!

The reason: plant compounds found in the beverages, such as lignans and chlorogenic acid, optimize insulin production and help keep blood sugar steady.

Also, I wish all who celebrate Easter to have a great one and to all those who don't I wish you a wonderful weekend as well!!!!

  2. Heidi, I am a self admitted coffee snob. I love a good medium or bold roast. I grind the beans just prior to brewing and have an array of brewing devices--French press, espresso maker, drip brewer. I generally drink 5-6 cups per day (a pot of decaf is brewing as I type) along with the occasional hot cup of Earl Grey or green tea.

    Thanks for the info and a Happy Easter weekend to you, as well!

  8. Heidi - Hallo and Happy Easter to you and your family! :)

    I think coffee and especially tea are very under-rated when it comes down to health. Probably their main asset is the fact that they help with stress levels. Tea especially helps with hydration and keeping the bowels regular. More recently their have been reports of Oolong tea helping to get rid of rashes and also chronic eczema and dermatitis. There are obviously many more things that we haven't found out about these drinks that we merely take for granted!!

  10. I drink a cup of tea with milk and sugar daily. I should omit the milk and sugar. :P

    I should switch to Chinese tea.
