Coffee health myths

Common Questions and Answers about Coffee health myths

coffee

Avatar f tn It sounds like you're having digestion problems. The most problematic of the foods you mention generally are first, the milk, second, the sugar, and third the coffee. But it's hard to say since diet is very complicated, and you don't say how soon after eating you laid down. Chamomile is a good stomach relaxant and anti-inflammatory, perhaps try some of that instead of the coffee, milk, and sugar and see how you do, assuming you don't need the coffee to stay awake.
Avatar m tn Hi i'm 16 , 5'4 & 1/2 in. , 70kg . Filipino , I do exercise everyday . I also lift weights . there are myths about lifting weights , they say that don't do weights when your young because it affects your growth ( is it true ? ) . Would you recommend me building muscles even though i'm 16 and 5'4 1/2 in ?
Avatar m tn Another reason I feel that it is not a problem is due to the health advantages that coffee has, according to many health studies and reports (assuming this is not just propaganda). I have found that whether or not I drink coffee, the symptoms remain. Another bit of history that I have not revealed is that I am a Gulf War veteran and was in Saudi Arabia / Kuwait / Iraq throughout a one year period.
Avatar f tn ve been trying to eat healthy and I have shrimp salads or chicken salads for dinner, breakfast is usually kix cereal or honey nut cherios with a banana and coffee. For lunch just have a sandwich on a healthy bread and use mustard instead of mayo. For snacks I enjoy fruit , pretzels, yogurt, rice cakes, or carrots. There's a great website called myfitnesspal.com it has been helping me out alot! Goodluck and I hope this helped!
Avatar n tn I am 24 weeks pregnant tomorrow with baby #3 and the sleepless nights are starting to kick in. I really want, and need some coffee but I am nervous to drink it while pregnant. I know having a little caffeine is not bad and I have a soda every now and then but I've never had caffeinated coffee during any of my pregnancies. What do y'all think?
17567 tn?1276202029 To all; Just uploaded a new health page... FYI... http://www.medhelp.org/health_pages/Weight-Loss/Weight-Loss-and-Nutrition-Myths/show/399?cid=40 (PS you can also click on the link on the right called Health Pages) Enjoy.
4437866 tn?1388119624 We asked them to deconstruct the most common myths about pregnancy, some of which are propagated in extremely popular and well-regarded pregnancy books. Consider it our Mother’s Day present to moms-to-be. Myth #1: Cocoa butter prevents stretch marks. False. In fact using cocoa butter makes women’s skin more sensitive, and some women have allergic reactions to it. Dr. Park treated one woman who came in with bright pink circles on her breasts.
Avatar m tn 5 times a month in not a lot. Many people masturbate several times a week (or even several times a day). Masturbation does not cause any health problems. Don't believe any myths you have heard.
755829 tn?1246919225 Hi there, I provide some basic advice on other forums, but am looking for some advice of my own now, I am wondering if there are health benefits in cutting out coffee and replacing it with decafe coffee, some friends say its good others say it's no better?
Avatar f tn It is great that you are looking out for your own health and the baby. There are different studies about coffee drinking while pregnant. It is still recommended not to drink caffeine drinks: coffee, teas, sodas (Coke, Pepsi, Mountain Dew to name a few). Decaf drinks do have a minimal amount of caffeine, however, they are safer to drink. Suggest increasing your consummation of water, which is a healthy benefit. Thank you for your question.
Avatar f tn Yes..you need to steer clear of raw fish and fish high in mercury and deli meat that hasn't been microwaved for over 2 minutes. Sugar substitutes in moderation and one cup or coffee a day.
5038240 tn?1370648512 Have any of you mommies heard any myths about the baby being a girl or boy???
Avatar f tn I don't really believe in any of those myths, but it was true for me! Funny too because although I don't believe in them, I would always look them up in hopes we were having a girl.lol & everyone thought it was a girl anyhow by other symptoms or behaviors I had. Good luck, hope you get what you want too.
Avatar f tn s beautiful but I have a feeling this baby is gonna be a boy! Does anyone believe in the myths about boys and girl pregnancy? And if so what are some you ladies are feeling with a boy pregnancy!?
Avatar f tn ve done several of the old wives tales/myths to see..I got boy on all the myths. Has any body done these and saw that it worked or was there something different you did to get an early peek at the baby's gender.. thanks!
Avatar f tn Nope all myths said girl but I'm having my second boy. And this pregnancy is a 180 from my first you never know.
Avatar f tn Can I drink coffee being pregnant? I looked online and got conflicting results saying it was okay. But others said dont even think about it. It would be caffanated coffee. Obviously I don't want to hurt my baby but pumpkin spice coffee is calling my name.
Avatar f tn I also read that it takes longer for the caffeine to get out your system .. What can coffee cause your baby to have ? Or any health issues ?
