New study proves: Coffee is healthy for us!

Have your colleagues often looked at you at an angle because you drink so much coffee? We give you a good reason to pour in again: a British study proves that coffee is good for your health!

The recommendations regarding coffee enjoyment have always been contradictory. Some say it is harmful to drink too much coffee. The others praise the good health effects. According to a British study, the latter are right: coffee is good for your health!

A British research team has evaluated nearly 200 studies on coffee consumption. They came to the conclusion that a moderate coffee consumption of three to four cups a day protects against many a disease and even lets us live longer.


Coffee, which contains caffeine, has a stimulating effect on the body. Renal function increases in the short term and the vessels in the body are dilated. This helps the body to prevent certain diseases. Coffee drinkers therefore have a lower risk of developing cardiovascular diseases, suffering from a stroke or developing liver carcinoma. But the chance of getting Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, depression and Type II diabetes can also be reduced with a few cups of coffee a day. Coffee is a panacea, especially for the heart. In addition, drinking coffee is healthy because it helps "flush" the arteries freely. Coffee drinkers have less calcification in their arteries, which can otherwise contribute to a heart attack.

So you get rid of your cold in just one day

Your nose does not want to stop running, besides, you have a sore throat and your head hurts? Here you can find out how to use home remedies in a short time for relief.

No one is spared cold. Especially in the cold season is a cold for many easy. There are many ways to make a quick recovery, especially with a simple cold. In the best case, you'll feel well and well the next day.

Fighting colds with home remedies - self-help made easy
Not every home remedy that our grandparent generation swears by is really recommended. The following are actually helpful for colds:

Inhalation with hot water vapor: You can also inhale without inhaler. A bowl of hot water and a towel over your head are already enough. That's how you moisturize your respiratory system. With children, however, caution is required. There is a risk of burns here.

Spicy food: horseradish, onions and garlic dissolve mucus and have a germicidal and anti-inflammatory effect. Therefore, season with a cold more sharply spicy than usual.

Chicken soup: Whether the good old chicken soup in a cold actually has an effect, was long debated. Now US researchers have shown that it has anti-inflammatory effects. However, this only applies to home-made soups, not to finished products.

Hot bath: A warm bath is a very relaxing home remedy for colds and has the same effect on the whole body. But be careful not to stay in the water for more than 15 minutes. Bath salts with essential oils enhance the effect. If you have a fever, you should refrain from bathing to protect your body.


Apart from that, your body does not need much rest until it reaches full-blown flu. You can even cure a simple cold when you go to bed and enjoy doing nothing.

Breakfast tailgating: Delicious recipes to help you plan ahead and keep it simple

A few years ago, I was in Minneapolis tailgating with friends for the University of Minnesota’s homecoming game against Northwestern. We got to the parking lot around 8:30 in the morning, to party before the 11 a.m. kickoff. Our host, Chad Jaeger, started the festivities with a hearty breakfast chili — rich and creamy, it was packed with crumbled bacon and sausage, beans, cheddar cheese and diced egg. It was the perfect way to warm up a bunch of Gopher fans on a chilly, 45-degree morning.

As with any great tailgate, the trick is to plan ahead and keep it simple. I try to make as much food as possible before I leave the house, and heat up what I need once I’m set up at the party.

Finally, don’t forget the beverages. Most thermoses will keep hot beverages — coffee, cocoa or cider — warm for hours. And it’s never too early for a cocktail. Mimosas are an easy choice for morning tailgates. If you have fresh fruit, consider making a pitcher of sangria.
