I never taken it without milk.. and with water..just milk with 1 tea sapon of coffe Thanks for info Rep++ added
Well this is a yes and no question. Yes it's useful if you only drink one cup of coffee per day, if you drink more then it becomes harmful. Too much cofeine in your system won't help ya at all.
Gets me going in the Am .. but as mentioned moderation is the key .. Starbucks is just to close to my house... lol
I drink tea more than coffee i only have the odd cup of coffee each day i do not think it is harmful as long as you are not drinking 50 cups a day or something.
I know of people that become addicted to the caffeine. Regualar coffee has a ph of about 2.5 or so, I would recommend drinking healthy Reishi coffee that has a hp of about 7 and does not get you addicted but gives energy by the way of reishi herb and it still tasts great. John
Coffee can cause heart and upper respiratory problems. Avoid asthma. Use it in moderation. New Breathing Exercises Help Manage Asthma. A presentation that demonstrates breathing exercises designed to help reduce the use of asthma inhalers is today available to the general public for free from the Cooperative Research Centre The 40 minute production is in response to a research paper on the management of asthma through the use of breathing exercises, conducted by researchers and doctors at Sydney's Woolcock Institute of Medical Research and Melbourne's Alfred Hospital, which was published in the August 20061 edition of Thorax. The results of this study showed that asthmatics who undertook regular breathing exercises reduced their preventer medication levels by up to half and reliever use by up to 86%. The presentation demonstrates the breathing exercise techniques used in the study and features Professor Christine Jenkins, Head of Asthma Research at the Woolcock Institute and Project Leader of the research study. In the presentation, she outlines our current understanding of asthma, and the potential role of breathing techniques in helping to control asthma symptoms. She puts this into the context of good asthma management and review. Two different groups of breathing techniques are demonstrated. One set is for practicing daily and one set is for relief of asthma symptoms. Professor Christine Jenkins, Head of Asthma Research at the Woolcock Institute said, "The research study was designed to measure the effect of two very different exercise regimes on a person's asthma symptoms, lung function, use of medication and quality of life". "However it found no evidence to favour one breathing technique over the other. Instead, both groups of exercises were associated with a dramatic reduction in reliever use. Using either type of exercise was effective in markedly reducing the use of reliever medication. A reduction in inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) dose was also achieved, probably resulting from trial participation and clinical care in the study." According to Professor Jenkins the results of regularly undertaking the exercises could be particularly beneficial to the management of patients with mild asthma symptoms, who use a reliever frequently, "Our study suggests that breathing exercises as a first-line symptom treatment can help to reinforce the message of relaxation and self-efficacy and provide a deferral strategy for beta-agonist use. "The presentation advises a person to do the exercises twice a day and also whenever they experience asthma symptoms," she said. "We hope that people with asthma will avail themselves of the information, presented in this easily understood format, and see it as a complementary approach to their asthma management."
If you drink coffee, drink it black without any creamer or sugar. I like to drink my coffee black and cold, it's the most healthy way to drink coffee without burning your mouth.
Useful for keeping me awake now and again hah, but i guess in the long run, it's harmful if you over abuse it. After all, caffeine is a drug at the end of the day.
Another product that gets conflicting reviews. I have read good things and not so good ones about caffeine and further investigation can't hurt. The posts in this thread that stress the need for moderation are probably not far from the mark. In my case, coffee doesn't seem to help my diabetes. On the contrary, that stimulant seems to promote a surge in some individuals' blood sugar level. Again, different people seem to react differently sometimes to certain products.
