Not much in the tank tonight to write a blog post. I have revised an older post. Enjoy!
Coffee Studies
There are plenty of studies claiming that drinking coffee is unhealthy, plenty claiming coffee is healthy and some claiming moderation is key. I’ve read various studies to learn more about coffee drinking. I don’t want to drink something that might result in long-term health issues like cancer or heart disease, however, I find my daily couple cups of coffee are necessary for cleansing reasons. I know how my body reacts and no study will change my habit.
That is also why I have taken up an interest in diets. I’ve tried the typical American diet, vegetarianism, veganism, and am currently Paleo. None of these diet attempts are for losing weight, an environmentalist heart, or the desire to become a caveman. I can read studies, find success stories, read about the failures of the diet, but without knowing how it will interact with my body, I have no idea what is best for me.
Diets are for the Individual
Choosing a diet isn’t about the latest fad but what works best for you. It’s much easier to find that out by figuring out how your body reacts to certain diets.
Next time someone tells you they’re on a diet ask them questions about why they’re on it and how they feel. Be inquisitive instead of making a snooty comment. Maybe try a “fad” diet yourself. It could turn out to have benefits you weren’t expecting.
