For ginger tea, I either put a bunch of ginger root through my juicer

and mix a couple of tablespoons of the juice with some honey and hot

water, or grate some ginger root, simmer it in water for a few minutes,

then strain it and add honey. A bit of lime juice is a nice addition as

well.

One of the 3 stimulants in tea is given to asthmatics via inhaler.. I

suppose caffeine in coffee may help?

 

Interesting; all the posts wondering if coffee is healthy or not.. I

have noticed coffee drinkers, and hard alcohol drinkers (in

moderation / not heavy alcoholics) tend to live to be very old.. As

a skeptic I realize many times we remember the success stories (we

dont see the ones who already died).. Still something to ponder..

 

Almost all the health benefit stories I read seem to quote

statistics.. And then go on to talk about some polyphenol or

antioxidant.. In todays society, where big business rules

everything (consumer protections out the window with conservatives),

I feel these statistical health benefits are stealth advertisements

(to buy coffee.. as in this example).. As Samuel Clemens said, there

are " two kinds of lies, damn lies, and statistics. " I am not very

trusting of things I read; given todays emphasis on making a profit,

over health..

 

Someone said they tried to moderate coffee drinking, and now they

drink 2x as much.. LOL,, A long time ago I tried to moderate

drinking too much pop.. So I started drinking coffee to help moderate

pop.. Then I drank both coffee and pop at every meal for the next 30

years..

Have had much stress with moving and looking for a house. Between

all that and the coffee, my stomach is killing me. Usually when that

happens, I need to go off it for a while and take some Pepcid or

something and let it heal. It doesn't do that to everyone but for me

coffee is probably not a promoter of health. I wish it were. I love

coffee. It should be a food group.
