Coffee???

I'm surpriced how much coffee swedes are drinking it's 4 cups a day that is a lot. In America they drink less coffee and more of the sweat stuff like sugar, milk, soy milk, cream and caramel stuff (I don't even know the name of the caramel stuff so I call it stuff or just sugar). In New York and the rest of America a starbucks coffee is so trendy and I see so many people walking around with a starbucks. It's a roler coaster life in my oppinion.

Coffe does not omly taste good it smells good as well. The whole making coffee process is nice as well.

Coffee good or bad?

Coffee Good:

:Coffee is rich in anti oxidantes.

:Parkinson's diseas. A number of studies have demonstrateed that regular coffee drinkers reduces the risk of Parkinson's diseas.

:Diabetes. Coffee drinking has the potential to protect against the development of type 2 diabetes

:Improved mental performance. Caffeine in coffee is a well-known stimulant. Coffee promotes alertness, attention and wakefulness. The cup of coffee can also increase information processing.

:Alzheimer's disease. Regular coffee drinking may help to protect against Alzheimer's disease

:Caffeine can open airways and improve asthma symptoms.

Coffee bad:

:Heart rhythm disturbances. Coffee can cause rapid or irregular heartbeats

:Heartburn. A cup of coffee can trigger heart burn

:Sleep. Most are aware of the stimulatory effects of caffeine. High amounts of caffeine taken before going to sleep can cause difficulty falling asleep, tendency to be awakened more readily by sudden noises, and a decreased quality of sleep.

:Dehydration

:Dependence. Although "generally recognized as safe" by the FDA, caffeine is still a drug, a mild central nervous system stimulant, and it produces dependence. Caffeine withdrawal is a real syndrome. You may get a few days of headache and irritability if you choose to quit drinking coffee, however, it is relatively easy to break this habit, and most people are not addicted to caffeine.

:Osteoporosis. Coffee intake may induce an extra urinary excretion of calcium.

:Stomache problems going too much to the ¨shit-house¨ or too less. Many people are using coffe to go, I was like that before I quit coffee.

In my country having a coffe brake is a every day thing for all of us. It has a name too FIKA is what we say. Normally with something to eat like a cake, cookie or chocolate. At friends houses or at a coffe place we have a FIKA. It's a Swedish tradition to have a FIKA.

I'm on my way now 9.45 am on a Sunday to have a tea at my favorite coffee place.

Till then
