Happy spring! The weather has morphed from
on-the-verge-of-one-more blizzard to feels-like-summer-during-the-daytime
weather. The sun is shining. There are even a few people sporting sun visors
and Vera Bradley sun hats.
Spring means renewal---and a desire to get away from the same
old, same old. For years, I’ve been
ruminating on the many benefits of coffee. The fact that coffee is the #1
source of antioxidants in the American diet (we absorb the antioxidants in
coffee more readily than fruits and vegetables) and that it significantly
decreases the risk of Parkinson’s disease, depression, liver disease and type 2
diabetes. It also makes you smarter, less depressed and a better athlete.
We
know that: NEXT!
So here’s the news---speaking of fashionable, uber-chic
visors and sun hats: Drinking coffee decreases the risk of skin cancer in
women, according to a study from Harvard University. In a 20-year-study of 112,000
people, women who drunk at least 3 cups of coffee per day were much less likely
to develop skin cancer.
Get ready for summer…It’s coming! And enjoy the spring
holidays! Chag Sameach! Happy Easter!
