coffee anyone?

reply to post by rickymouse


I think it will take more than coffee, but it's a good start.

My gramps told me long ago that coffee is one of the "best things on earth for your gut" He also advised adding milk or cream because it neutralized the good parts. That's all I got.

I stopped drinking caffeine products a few weeks ago.. The difference is immense!.. I feel awesome.. And my running times have improved.. I think that is because of a drop in blood pressure/heart rate that caffeine increases..

The opposite happened to me. One cup before I run and I'm the Roadrunner.

When I was younger, did not need it.

But now, coffee really helps with running.

I think that I have got to sensitive to it over the years.. Maybe psychosomatic??.. I feel calmer and fitter without it..

I do know that caffeine opens the airway.. And is recommended for lung conditions but does the opposite for me..

It turned from coffee making us run to the can to how coffee affects running How did that happen It's kinda funny how things change so fast.

one coffee a day is not an addiction.

40 coffees a day and then you have a problem

I'm one of those freaks who only likes cold drinks. And to a poster above, how can you dislike water?! What's better than waking up and quencing your thirst with a nice cold glass of crisp water?

I wake up thirsty but suffer and wait until my coffee is done. I can't understand only drinking cold drinks. Unless its a cold beer on a hot day. I love coffee. Next to hot tea it's my favorite drink. My bedtime drink is white coffee made with hot milk.

Just like every other drug some people will experience abnormal reactions, including the opposite effect. Let your body tell you what is right for you.

Hot Coffee stimulates either the heating or cooling system. An ice cold beer is full of B vitamins, Molybdenum, and some proteins along with one type of fiber. It also contains alcohol which thins the blood a little if dehydrated and stops agglutination caused by eating foods that we have antigens against. Many things have a bad name because we abuse them. If we are sensible in using them it's extremely healthy. Coffee is no exception to the rule.

I feel for your loss, Human. I lost my mom three years ago. When I was old enough to reach the counter, she taught me how to make coffee, which is funny since I loved the smell of it, just never got the taste for it until so much later in life. I remember her praising my efforts, and after that, I made coffee every night before going to bed, so she'd have her cup when she plugged in the maker in the mornings. Isn't it interesting how something so simple becomes a personal ritual rife with meaning and sentiment that reaches the deepest parts of our being?

How many of you smell the coffee when you first open the sealed can? That's gotta be one of the best smells on earth.

I guess everyone is coffee'd out.

Yuck, you put creamer and sugar in your coffee? No wonder you crash after drinking it.

If you drink coffee straight and get a good variety, such as 100% kona coffee, there is no need to add anything to it and it tastes great.
