Coffee, Tea and Health
44. No More
Caffeine
Caffeine can dehydrate your body so try to remove it from your daily intake. This may
require some weaning, but when done, you will feel better. If you feel that you need something, instead of grabbing a cub of caffeinated
coffee or soda, try drinking herbal tea.
45. Stick with Whole Wheat
Whole wheat is actually better for you. It offers more fiber, which helps reduce the risk
of heart disease, stroke, cancer, diverticulosis, diabetes to name a few. When possible, set aside the white flour and bread and reach for
products that are made from oats, barley, buckwheat, bulgur, rye, brown rice, millet, and wheat.
46. What are Flavonoids?
These are oestrogen-like compounds found in plants that act as hormone blockers any place in
the body where there are excess hormones that could cause such cancers such as breast cancer. Flavonoids are also strong antioxidants,
which can be found in foods such as beans, onions, broccoli, apples, and soy products.
47. Green Tea
Studies have shown that adding green tea to your daily diet provides several health benefits to include the metabolizing of fat, ease of
digestion, and is a good source of flavonoids. Another benefit is that tea is a form of natural diuretic, which is very mild and not
harmful.
48. Sodium
As a way of reducing blood pressure, which is bad on the heart, reduce the amount of sodium
(salt) you intake. You may be thinking of table salt but you should know that many canned vegetables, soups, even soda, are very high in
sodium. Look at your labels and try to cut back on processed foods. If you have a craving for salt, switch to natural seasoning and
just a little salt.
49. Family History
If you are not sure what your family history is in relation to health, now is a good time to
find out. This can be especially true if you are adopted or disconnected from immediately family members. There might be certain
types of cancer, diabetes, asthma, or other illnesses that you could get a jump on if you knew they were prevalent in your family. Once you
discover any risks, talk with your physician for recommendations.
50. Puffy Eyes
If you battle with puffy eyes or dark circles that make you look worn out, do not feel
alone. This is actually a very common complaint that can be treated easily. By using a mixture of Vitamin C ester and alpha-lipoic
acid eye therapy, you will find that this antibiotic helps reduce this puffiness.
51. Control those Cravings

foods. To help with these cravings, you can use Normoglycaemia to help normalize your blood glucose levels. This supplement is very
