Coffee talk!

Simply smelling coffee can make a difference in our lives especially in the mornings.  One study looking at rats has shown that their genes and expression changes for the better when they inhale coffee.  It is though their stress level has lowered.

Pretty much everyone you know is a coffee drinker unless there are those tea drinkers of course.  The tea drinkers have the benefit of saying that their liquids are much healthier than that of coffee.  This is true to a point only because many coffee drinkers will add the many sugars and cream in it.  But how healthy is it on its own, meaning drinking straight black coffee. Is it as healthy as coconut oil? Read on further!


Drinking coffee has been shown and associated with the reduction of Alzheimer’s, stroke, type II diabetes as well as Parkinson’s disease.  Experts have shown that it helps decrease depression.  To reap the benefits of coffee is to try to drink it straight and have around 1 to 3 cups a day.  Beyond 3 cups a day can cause serious consequences depending on the individual.  This is when coffee addiction and coffee withdrawal can be difficult to break.  The other issue is coffee will make you dehydrated so it is important to always have water to help hydrate you throughout the day.

Coffee in itself is the most consumed liquid after water of course and has been around for many hundreds of years.  The benefits of coffee that we all know is the energy boost and stimulating our concentration thus providing an efficient workflow.  Health experts sometimes recommend drinking a coffee about half an hour before you start exercising as it helps with endurance.  Make sure to not forget your water during exercises because coffee will dehydrate you.
Let’s look at another benefit from another study that resulted in people having a lower risk of liver damage over time cause by that person’s heavy liquor drinking.  The results shown that to help combat liver damage caused by drinking, is to simply add coffee to your diet.  Along the lines of the same study found that drinkers of coffee between the ages of 45 and 80 will have a lower risk of being deceased by up to 10% over a 10 to 15 year period.  This is compared to individuals who do not drink coffee.

Treatment of blisters on toes and fingers

Most of the time it is best to leave it alone and let the body he heal itself.  The top of the skin acts as a protection against further fraction.  Also we have a blood blister it will have a tendency to treat itself.  Understand it can be contagious if you pop it and let liquid inside interact with another wound.  Be careful when the blister has a green or yellowish colour to it.  You will notice that when you do have one it will become clear and red around the skin area.  If it is a minor blister it is best to empty it.

If it so happens that the blister breaks on its own, then do not remove or play with the skin around it.  Just leave it alone and tried to put protected.  Next up is to apply any type of ointments that is antibiotic.  This will prevent any possible infection from the open wound.
