Pups Learning how to lazy wrestle.
Part 2: After a “normal” Florida afternoon storm, the phone lines are down. I only discovered this after trying to use the phone to call my lost cell phone. Maybe it is time to cancel the land line phone service, but then how would I ever find my phone?
Part 3: Brown and red volcano rice cooked up, placed in a pan with some coconut milk, left over chicken and various spices. Did I just make risotto? Not quite, but still some creamy carbness I was craving.
Have you ever gotten up in the morning and thought, “today would be a great day to start a juice fast?” Me either, until Wednesday. I have been feeling bloated and just blah. With vacation eating and lunch meetings, I had strayed from my low gluten and lactose diet for the past few weeks.
There are plenty of reasons people say that you should not drink coffee at all. It is addictive. It can increase anxiety and stress hormones. It creates an artificial high that leads into a crash. It stains our teeth. It can negatively affect blood sugar levels.
Knowing all of that, I still love my joe. It does have antioxidants. It can increase alertness and metabolism, perhaps only short term, but it works. It can help headaches and dilates airways. Maybe that is why it is found in medications. There are studies that found that it may help to prevent some illnesses, such as cancer and type II diabetes. As I described in a previous post, I am usually tired. Even with coffee, I sometimes have to use tools that I learned playing sports to jazz myself up to be productive. Instead doing sprints at the end of practice, I am finishing up paperwork.
