Coffee,Caffeine & cellulite


I stumbled upon an article about in a magazine and decided to share it here. I believe ladies out there will be glad to know about it.

A cup of coffee has the power to fight fat and even make you more agreeable. What do I mean by it? Read on, you will find your answer.

Coffee makes us more agreeable
It would be great if our boss will grant us a big rise if we bring to him a starbucks every day. However, it is not our point here... I am sorry...

New studies done by Australian researchers from the University of Queensland show moderate intake of coffee before hearing an argument makes you more likely to agree with it, provided that the argument is convincing.

Caffeine, for a brief time, will increase your ability to concentrate and take in new information. When voluntary subjects were given a persuasive argument on a controversial topic after having coffee, they were more likely to agree with it than they were before they had the drink.

With this, it is probably a good idea to invite a customer out to a coffee during a sale pitch after all. Hahaha...

Coffee and Cellulite


About 80% of the women face problems with cellulite irregardless of age, races or weight.

What is cellulite?

Cellulite is the expression used to describe pockets of fat which are trapped and cause dimpling in the skin. This dimpling is irregular and patchy and has been identified with orange peel.

Underneath the dermis and epidermis are three specific layers of fat. Cellulite tends to develop in the subcutaneous fat layers. This layer of fat is unique in its structure compared to the other layers because its fatty parts are structured into specific chambers by strands of linked tissue around it.

Your body can easily retain toxins and fats if you do not drink a lot of fluids. However, water is the most effective for keeping your body hydrated. The connection between cellulite and coffee is that drinking to much coffee can result in many toxins and fats being stored in your body. Most women's bodies store excess fats on the hips, thighs and butt. Most of the fat is underneath the skin - hence the cellulite.

The good new here is Cellulite can be treated with coffee grind.
All you need is a cheap hand lotion and caffeinated coffee. You have to grind the coffee into dust and mix the coffee grind with the hand lotion. As a result you will have a cream. Rub it into you cellulite areas and leave it for a minute. Rinse it off in the shower. Do this everyday and you will see those areas get smoother and firmer. It is very important that you do not use decaffeinated coffee because it is the caffeine that reduces the cellulite.

Coffee grind cellulite technique is certainly one of the popular ways to effectively get rid of cellulite in the comfort of your home. Did I mention that it is cheap too?


The link between cellulite and coffee grounds is that coffee can increase blood flow on the parts of the body affected by cellulite. Rubbing the coffee grounds increase circulation and facilitates the breakdown of the fats underneath your skin, which eliminates the cellulite.

With this post, I hope I have contribute my part.

cont'd Benefits of coffee


Today, I have an alarming discovery to read upon that coffee has such a level of antioxidant. All along, I just know it is a caffeine beverage or addictive drink. Never did I know it has such kinds of benefits.

Oh my god, I am so ignorant!

Well, to continue our discussion on coffee...

A recent Pennsylvania study found that coffee offer the no.1 source of antioxidant in the U.S diet. The study include tea, coffee, cocoa & other foods.

The show an average U.S adult consume ~1300mg antioxidant daily from coffee than any dietary source, while 294mg from tea, follow by ~ 80mg from Bananas, ~70mg from dry beans & ~50mg for Corn.

Question here is can we totally depend coffee for our antioxidant source? The answer is no as coffee do not offer any fibers as a beverage. Hence, the more we should continue to get our nutrients and fibers from the fruits and vegetables.

More health benefits and information about coffee...

Coffee contains Tannin and antioxidant which is beneficial to the arteries and heart. It is good for liver, can prevent gallstones, improve blood circulation, cut down asthma. Other incredible benefits of drinking coffee regularly include risk of developing Parkinson disease, reduce risk in colon cancer and a decrease live cirrhosis.

If all the benefits that I read is true, then I won't really mind to get addicted by this alluring drink, .... hahaha...I am really glad that I have done my research..

Coffee, is it good for health?

Coffee has been my morning beverage. A cup of it is a no miss for me. Otherwise I will be like a coffeemonster (see below picture), work and move like a zombie. Do you call this addictive? I don't crave for it but but I just need a cup to perk me up for the morning, at least.

I read from many reports some say coffee is good for health while other say differently?
Hmmm.... let me check it out and report later...
