The Value of Coffee

March 9th, 2008 | Posted in From The Cook, kitchen talk, Odds & Ends | 4 Comments

I realize that there’s been conflicting reports over the years about whether coffee is good for you or not and if so, how much is too much but personally, I consider it an important part of the day and because of the fact that relaxing with some good coffee is a great way to bleed off stress, I think you could legitimately consider it an anti-aging treatment since stress is known to age a person faster than normal.

Oh, I suppose it probably wouldn’t be a great idea to chug down six pots a day, and it’s important to balance that coffee with plenty of good old H20 to make sure the system is cleaned out and you’re hydrated because coffee is a diuretic and without the added water that would be a problem.

In the meantime, I’ve got a 52 ounce mug that gets filled with a pot of coffee in the morning and then is re-loaded with water a couple of times a day after the coffee is gone. Although in cold weather I might make a second pot. I’ve also been known to load it up with lukewarm water because the cold makes my teeth hurt sometimes.

      Seriously…coffee is a necessity around here..just ask my family! loL!! There’s just something about drinking coffee first thing in the morning…not sure if it’s the warmth or what…but I need it! I only drink one cup a day…that seems to do it for me…

    2. Too much wasted breath on coffee and health. It’s irrelevant compared to the obesity epidemic going around that is declining human life expectancy for the first time since the bubonic plague.


    3. I wouldn’t say that. In fact, given the overall effects that coffee (and the caffeine in it) tends to have on a person … speeding up the metabolism etc… I would say that it is relevant and could actually combat the flood of *really* harmful things like the high fructose corn syrup that is in so many things these days.


    4. Honestly, I just don’t listen to what’s suppose to be good for you and what isn’t. I eat in moderation and try to really “listen” to what my body wants. Some days I drink a few cups of coffee and other days I don’t drink any.

      Enjoy it.
