coffee, health

There’s a clear connection between chronological age, chronic inflammation, cardiovascular disease and… coffee consumption.

More than 90 percent of all noncommunicable diseases of aging are associated with chronic inflammation. And more than 1,000 papers have provided evidence that chronic inflammation contributes to many cancers, Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias, cardiovascular disease, osteoarthritis and even depression.

It’s also well known — well, at least among the scientists who study this kind of thing — that caffeine intake is associated with longevity. Now, Stanford immunologists David Furman, PhD, and Mark Davis, PhD, and their colleagues have revealed a likely reason why this may be so.

This study is from Stanford University. link: http://scopeblog.stanford.edu/2017/01/16/drink-for-your-heart-caffeine-may-counter-age-related-inflammation-cardiovascular-disease/

I have considered coffee to be health food for a ling time, Why? because I like it, and the food police have been after it for years.

Stacy is fed up on the kitchen countertop. She eats slowly, and can be intimidated by the other dogs at feeding time. So we lift her up here and she can eat at her own speed, undisturbed.
