Coffee is a health drink

November 19, 2009 • Hello. I am currently out of the country and unable to respond to comments and e-mails. Rest assured, however, that future posts have been scheduled so new recipes will go live almost everyday during my absence. I'll be back soon with lots of stories and photos. Ciao for now! ~ Connie

IÕm a coffee drinker. Been so since law school. ItÕs the first thing I reach for after my morning trip to the bathroom. People are shocked when I say I need my cup of coffee after every meal, even after dinner. I even take a last cup just before going to bed. Most everyone said I had an unhealthy habit.

ÒCoffee can be good for you…and the stronger, the better,Ó according to Chiara Trombetti, a dietician of the Humanitas Gavazzeni institute in the northern Italian town of Bergamo.

Coffee contains tannin and antioxidants, which are good for the heart and arteries, she says. It can relieve headaches. It is good for the liver – and can help prevent cirrhosis and gallstones.

And the caffeine in coffee can reduce the risk of asthma attacks – and help improve circulation within the heart. [
