I love coffee… ever since I took a sniff at the age of 8, I imagined that hot choco was coffee to me.  😛  So my affinity to coffee has been very long and though may not be an aficionado by any means, I am still somewhat avid drinker still…

Well, there’s a co-worker at work who’s kind of like a godmother to me.  She told me today of how her mother (86) is still so lively and well, and that her mother’s sisters (88 and 92) are also lively and sharp.  So I asked her that she should find out about what enables them to be so.  And without a hesitation, she says, “coffee”!  😮  I was pleasantly surprised to hear that.

And she then went onto tell me about Chronicles article that stated to support her claim (and the same one that made her drink coffee again!).   It states that 3 cups of coffee or tea a day can help women over the age of 60 maintain mental sharpness!   But alas, not in men.  🙁

So dad, go ahead and tell mom to drink more coffee!!  😀  LOL…  to your health, mom!

Well, if you have allergies as badly as I do, you try just about anything (except for needles!!).  I have tried the neti pot without much success.  I may try again before the allergy season ’cause I started using neti pot in the peak of it and it was too late to help… so is the theory of my “resident mother” at my work place.

Well, my other “mother” read on this thing called rooibos tea that supposedly cured this one article writer.  So I got mine from Amazone.com and it smells… interesting.  Here’s to ridding of allergies…

… so I have had allergies to pollen, dust, and cat hairs since I was 14 or so…

I’ve tried them all… Cingular, Claritin, Allegra/D and such… none work well.
Then I ran across this thing called “Neti pot”… some sort of yoga-related ancient technique…

It’s like drowning though!! So I finally picked one up from local Whole Foods Market and yes… it feels like you are drowning… but my sinus does feel clean… but soon as I get outside and pollen kicks in, nose itches again…

Any long-term users out there that can attest whether this will replace my allergy medication or not??
