What exactly is a significant amount of coffee? I think I can answer that. Years ago I used to drink 32 ounces a day. And that’s not including ice tea or caffeinated sodas.

Then one day I was wondering “Gee. Why am I getting headaches every day?”

Duh! I now drink about 12 ounces per day. And no other caffeine.

Between the prunes and coffee, how do I get away from the bathroom?

Try peanut butter. And cheese. That ought to do it.

[SaxxonWoods]

Yay.

There is absolutely nothing better for longevity, reducing heart disease, prolonging onset of dementia, and avoiding virus diseases such as covid, than DAILY moderate aerobic exercise. Since I began that daily routine, my health is soooooo much better than in my late 50’s age. I am nearing my 82nd BD.

My daily routine consists of walking on treadmill set at 2 deg upslope at 25 mph with 1 lb wrist weights and swinging my arms all around. After walking 3/4 of mile, I follow up with 30 pulls of 10 kg weights on the weight machine.
My only nutritional intake is 1-a-day vitamin pill+couple of D vitmin pills. I eat lots of fast food at Panera bread, Taco bell and Arby’s. And any fruits on sale at Aldi. As for coffee, I usually drink 2 cups/day using decaf ground coffee.

Two clarifications...

...”at 25 mph

Seems like you have superpowers.

...”2 cups/day using decaf ground coffee.

Drinking decaf is like kissing your sister!

[Tennessee Nana]

Tea drinkers benefit also

[Political Junkie Too]

I drink one 12oz mug of coffee in the morning while I do the daily cryptogram, and I grind the beans just before brewing the coffee in a single-serve k-cup for my Keurig machine, and that's it.

I was just thinking about that LOL
25 mph is WRIONG! Glad you caught it.
It is 25 minutes/mile.

I agree about decaf, but caffeine can wake me up during night, with heart pounding loud. My coffee drink is more like half and half + lots of sugar with some coffee added.

Thanks for that advice. Makes sense!

Correlation is not causation.

[ConservativeMind]

When the cost is minimal, other confounding factors were removed, and they had MRIs to validate true health status, the likelihood of no causation is greatly lowered and worth the risk of having coffee to potentially get said benefits.

I start my day with a fresh ground quad shot espresso. I should be immortal.

Study after study shows the incredible health benefits of walking. In terms of bang for your buck it is the most efficient exercise there is. If you have not exercised in years and want to start a health journey then start walking for 40 minutes at night after dinner. Or anytime for that matter. If you have a dog then take him too - he’ll love you for it and it makes it that much more enjoyable.

I was going to ask about that.. I hate coffee, but drink lots of black tea (with real cinnamon in it).

[lee martell]

I’m not much of a coffee drinker.
I’ve tried to develop a habit, because I like the aroma, but I usually stop after a few weeks. I do use caffeine pills from time to time for an energy boost. These pills are 200mg each.
Hopefully, I still get some of those health benefits.

Coffee is my magic boom juice. Works like a charm each and every morning.

“ health benefits of walking…”

I agree. I found the rowing machine at the gym, 30 min a day of hard rowing along with a couple of walks with the dog and a better diet and In two weeks I felts so much better. Better food and some exercise can help indeed.
