Spirulina Online Reviews and info
You may not know it but the cup of coffee you take every morning with your toast actually does your body a lot of good. And contrary to what you might think, drinking coffee everyday is actually a very healthy habit.
In 2005, the University of Scranton released the results of a remarkable study showing that coffee is the number one source of anti-oxidants in the American diet. Anti-oxidants are components in your food that serve as your body?s defense against many diseases including diabetes, cancer, stroke and other heart diseases. It is known to control free radicals that cause cell damage in the body, slowing down the ageing process and its effects and thereby resulting in a longer life span.
Some studies have also shown that coffee intake resulted in increased alertness and information processing by as much as 10%. Additional studies show that coffee results in decreased depression, anxiety and generally uplifts the mood of the drinker. So if you are feeling down, downing a cup of coffee might just give you that perk you need.
Still these benefits should not be incentive enough to take too much coffee. Coffee is known to raise blood pressure, so try to spread out your intake throughout the day. Drinking one or two cups of coffee a day is advisable. If you must take a lot of coffee, choose decaf, as the study also shows that both caffeinated and decaffeinated coffee contain the same amount of anti-oxidants. If you have high blood pressure, however, it is best to cut down on your intake.
Enjoy your coffee!

Petrene Soames writes in the article �Wake Up and Kick the Caffeine Habit for Good�:
�Have you ever wondered why Starbucks is so popular? Why do even the spendthrift amongst us pay over the top prices for a cup of coffee? With great packaging and good marketing Starbucks fills a niche in the national psyche. Identification is a major component. We simply identify with our purchases. Starbucks caters to the fast on-the-go customer and to the kickback and relax customer. The ambiance of the outlets is comfortable and feels like a great place to be, personal enough to take someone new, but safe enough when you aren't ready yet to take that new person home.�
� Starbucks, it would seem, oozes cool and we - the consumer - have bought into that big time. But it is not cool to stress our bodies with caffeine, and it is not cool to blanket our emotions with quick-fix products. The longer we hide our true feelings, the longer it will take for us to recognize our true selves. Isn't it really time in all our lives to stop swapping life experiences and happiness for comfort foods and drinks?�
