Here we go again.

Genetics, plenty of water, a healthy diet, and minimal sun exposure. There's the "secret."

Nancy Pelosi and Hillary Clinton: Darn it all. Early in life there were two doors, one for coffee and the other for a lifetime of heavy booze. Chose wrong.

I worked in Colombia for a few years. Pure Colombian ( not blended) three, four times a day was the norm. Very low prostrate cancer and other cancers. The locals swore by it’s medicinal properties.

"A study published in the Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology says that drinking three to five cups of coffee daily slowed down ageing of facial skin."

I have learned recently that while the American standard definition of "cup" measurement is 8 ounces, the definition of a cup of coffee can range between 4 and 8 ounces. Health articles that measure coffee in cups need to be a little more precise.

FWIW .....

I only “wash” my face, neck, and decolletage with oil. Coconut, almond, jojoba, E, or any combination of. Creams and lotions seem to sit on the skin and dry up then flake.

I’ve been known to enjoy a tobacco product every .... so often, and I drink as much vodka as coffee some days ;)

I also drink lots of green tea, lemon water, and don’t consume much sugar or processed foods of any kind. NO partially or hydrogenated oils, no seed oils, (except mayo and the very occasional packaged cracker or cookie).

Most everything is cooked from scratch, including sourdough. One ingredient foods, which is why there is never anything fun to eat in our house.

We take very carefully curated supplements, too. And, without much trying, we intermittent fast for 12-16 hours a day.

Hubs and I look at least 10 years younger than our ages and 20 years younger than so many people who are our ages.

We’re not on any meds either, except for the 2 I take related to a damaged pituitary.

Funny story from today. We went to UGA for a college tour for my daughter and she commented how smooth my skin is, which gets washed with soap. This mid 50’s guy has been drinking 8-10 cups of coffee daily since the military. I told her I shaved so I didn’t look like a bum for her. Then this article pops up. Odds are she will probably start drinking coffee now.

Here'a an interesting book about the health benefits of coffee.
