Who knew drinking coffee was good for you? Not me that’s for sure. Nope, the information I’ve absorbed over the last 50 years, has as a rule triggered a twinge of guilt every time my lips hit the rim of a re-fill. Drink it I did though as rough calculations and the presence of a few other sinful little habits convinced me that it was highly unlikely coffee would be listed on the coroners report as the primary cause of death .
Now much to my shock and surprise, drinking coffee is apparently really good for those of us advancing in age!
From Dr. Oz’s article if the Vancouver Province – (the highlighting and underlining is mine)
“Go for Joe. You’ll delay or help prevent dementia and Alzheimer’s with two cups of caffeinated coffee a day. You’ll get even bigger benefits with up to six small cups daily. (Skip this longevity booster if caffeine triggers migraines, anxiety, gastric upset, insomnia or abnormal heart beats.) your body’s real age gets about 0.8 years younger from enjoying Joe”.
