In honor of summer and swimsuit season......(something I am not ready for yet again)

METABOLISM BOOSTING FOODS

The amount of caffeine in two cups of java cuts hunger by 35% and boosts metabolism by about 50 calories.  


1/2 tsp of cinnamon causes the body to metabolize sugar 20 times faster, resulting in less hunger and fewer fat storage hormones

Make exercise easier with coffee. Not only does a cup of joe right before a workout give you extra endurance, it also reduces any aches and pains you may feel during exercise, say University of Illinois researchers. Why? Caffeine blocks adenosine, a chemical that sends pain signals to the brain.

Feliz Cinco de Mayo!  Enjoy some Mexican coffee today!

Ingredients:                                                           

1 ounce Kahlua

1/2 ounce tequila

Whipped cream

Nutmeg for garnish

Fresh but fairly strong hot coffee

Instructions:

Pour Kahlua and tequilla into glass coffee mug

Stir gently

Garnish with whipped cream and sprinkle a little nutmeg on top if you'd like 

Note: As you may know, tequila is made from the fermented juice of the agave plant. Tequila is the national drink of Mexico. It is like a fine cognac in that it gets better with aging. Popular brands include Jose Cuervo, Patron and Sauza. A white tequila would be best for this recipe.

Coffee....is good for you!!

Drinking more than a cup a day was associated with a 22-25% lower risk of stroke, compared with those who drank less. (Stroke: Journal of the American Heart Association)
Low or no coffee consumption was associated with an increased risk of stroke in a study of 34,670 women (ages 49-83) followed for 10  years. It’s too soon to change coffee drinking habits, but the study should ease concerns of some women, researchers noted. Potential ways coffee reduces risk of stroke-weakening subclinical inflammation, reducing oxidative stress & improving insulin sensitivity.
“Some women have avoided consuming coffee because they have thought it is unhealthy. Increasing evidence indicates that  moderate coffee consumption may decrease the risk of some diseases such as diabetes, liver cancer and possibly stroke”. (Susanna Larsson, Ph.D.- National Institute of Environmental Medicine, Sweden)    taken from an item written in Granny Earth’s Connections April 2011 edition
