Give me a cup, I want to wake up!

Today, I read an article by Doctor Mercola about the newly discovered benefits of drinking coffee. I seem to remember posting a while back about this very thing, and come to think of it, National Coffee Day is the 29th of September!
It is only appropriate that I relay this great information to you at such a time!

Here is the Article so that you may read it for yourself:
Mounting Evidence Suggests That Coffee May Actually Have Therapeutic Benefits

If you happen to be the sort of person who fears clicking on a link and the amount of time it may take to venture to another site, well I have just the thing for you!

Doctor Mercola sums it all up in his "Story-at-a-glace" which is also found on the site/link above.

• Many studies have recently been published suggesting coffee is not the health-damaging beverage it’s been portrayed to be; research now suggests coffee can lower your risk for type 2 diabetes, Parkinson’s disease, dementia, stroke, and cancers of the liver, kidney and prostate
• Coffee lowers your blood glucose level and may even increase the metabolic activity and/or numbers of Bifidobacteria in your gastrointestinal tract, which are beneficial
• Fresh coffee from organic, whole beans that are pesticide-free can help keep your brain and muscle tissue young. Adding commercial milk or creamer, and worse yet sugar, will tend to diminish the value you receive from coffee
• You should consume coffee in moderation prior to exercising, without sugar, cream or flavorings in order to maximize health benefits; dark roast coffee beans are richer in beneficial compounds and lower in caffeine than lighter roasts
• If you are caffeine sensitive or have an adverse reaction to coffee, you might not have the same reaction to a different brand of coffee, a different type of bean, or a different brewing method
  

My mom excitedly shared this with me.... and I am excitedly sharing it with you! She said to me after we read all of this (and without realizing her own wit),
"Give me a cup! I want to wake up!"

I wish I was in advertising because that would make an awesome coffee slogan!

And so, in conclusion, do go make yourself a good, dark brew!
