5 Reasons Why You Should Drink Coffee


For those that are much like me and love their cup of coffee whenever they can get it, there are many positive benefits of drinking that cup of what I like to call, pure "awesomeness."

1. Helps prevent brain illnesses such as, Parkinson's, Alzheimer's, and dementia. Numerous studies have shown that caffeine helps in the protection from brain diseases. A study conducted by the Harvard School of Public Health showed that the moderate consumption of caffeine cut the risk of developing Parkinson's disease in half!

2. Protects against diabetes. That's right, drinking coffee helps prevent diabetes type 2, the type of diabetes where the body tissues actually become resistant to insulin. A study from the Archives of Internal Medicine found that women who drank 6 or more cups of coffee a day were 22% less likely to develop type 2 diabetes than women who drank no coffee at all.

3. Coffee contains antioxidants. Antioxidants help prevent cell damage, which is related to the process of aging. However, this cell damage is also tied to many forms of cancer. German researchers found a potent antioxidant compound in coffee that appears to boost phase 2 enzymes, which are believed to prevent colon cancer, the second leading cause of cancer death in the United States.

4. Coffee reduces the risk of eye spasms that lead to blindness. A study published in the Journal of Neurology, Neurosurgery and Psychiatry showed that coffee may reduce the risk of the eye disorder blepharospasm, which can lead to blindness. Current treatments for the disorder are botox injections, or the surgical removal of eyelid nerves. However, the study found that patients who drank two or more cups of coffee a day could prevent the onset of the eye disorder by 1.7 years for every extra cup they drank.

5. Coffee reduces muscle pain. A study published in the Journal of Pain, showed that drinking coffee can reduced muscle pain after a workout quite significantly. In fact, two cups of coffee were found to reduce muscle pain by up to 48%!

Unfortunately Aging Is Not Always Beautiful


Aging isn't always as beautiful or graceful as many would wish. In fact there are many difficulties seniors have to deal with and many challenges they must face. Many of these difficulties have severe effects on the brain. Unfortunately many of these cannot be "cured" and drastically change the person it appears in and that persons family. Some of these illnesses include Alzheimer's, and Parkinson's.


Alzheimer's disease affects the way a person thinks, behaves, and even their emotions and physical functions. Alzheimer's changes a person's ability to understand, think, remember and communicate will be affected. Simple tasks that have been performed for years will become more difficult or be forgotten. Confusion and memory loss occur, initially for recent events and eventually for long-term events, will occur. The ability to find the right words and follow a conversation will be affected. A person may appear uninterested and apathetic, and may quickly lose interest in the hobbies they previously enjoyed. Repeating the same action or words, hiding possessions, physical outbursts, and restlessness are also caused by Alzheimer's.

Parkinson's disease is a disorder caused by the gradual loss of cells in a small part of the brain. The loss of these cells results in a reduction of a vital chemical called "dopamine," which causes symptoms such as, shaking of the hands, slowing down of movement, stiffness, and loss of balance. Other symptoms are loss of facial expression, reduction in speech volume and clarity, difficulty swallowing, change in size of handwriting, dry skin, constipation, urinary difficulties, and depression. Because Parkinson's disease is a progressive disorder, these symptoms worsen with time.
