In a recent study, it was found that drinking a moderate amount of tea and/or coffee can decrease the risk of CHD (Coronary Heart Disease). Many people around the world, and especially in the United States, are suffering from CHD. Some of you may be wondering what CHD actually is. Well, it is a type of heat disease that involves the blood vessels becoming narrower and thus not transporting sufficient amounts of oxygenated blood to the heart.

In terms of how much to drink, approximately two to three cups of coffee will decrease the risk of CHD. For tea, pretty much the more you drink the more you will benefit. About six cups of tea showed the best results. In addition to lowering the risk of CHD, tea can also play a role in decreasing the mortality rate.

Although coffee and tea can be beneficial, it is also important to weigh the negative effects they have. For example coffee and tea both contain caffeine. In fact, coffee contains two times the amount of caffeine than in tea. Caffeine can cause many health problems.

The study stating that moderate amounts of tea or coffee can decrease the risk of developing CHD was performed in the Netherlands. The tea and coffee used in this experiment was what most people in the Netherlands drink. Filter coffee as made in the Netherlands and black tea were used. The results pertain to only these types of drinks. Other types of tea and coffee may not have as much of an effect or none at all.

Smoking and smoking related diseases kill one in ten people worldwide. Smoking has been known to lead to cancer, lung disease, cardiovascular diseases, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, heart disease, stroke, aneurysms, and many other potentially fatal diseases. If smoking is so dangerous, why do people still smoke?

Many people start smoking at a young age, when they are still unaware or uncaring of the diseases and potential harm smoking may have. Smoking is also seen as fun, or a social thing in many countries.  “Hey, do you have a light?” is often a good conversation starter. Smoking is also often used as an award. When you have done something well, sometimes you pat yourself on the back by having a cigarette.

Now that I’m hooked, how do I quit?

Write it down – It has been proven that by writing down your goals, and reading them on a regular basis will motivate you much more in the direction of achieving your goals.

Throw away your cigarettes – Get rid of anything smoking related, such as ashtrays and lighters. Seeing these things will only make you long for a smoke.

Avoid your triggers – You know the things that temp you to smoke. For instance if you smoke when you drink, avoid drinking for a while after you quit smoking.

Use products – Using products to help you quit smoking is extremely helpful. Nicorette gum and inhalers are helpful to quit smoking.

Quitting smoking is very difficult and it’s easy to relapse into old habits. Quitting will take time, energy, and sometimes money.
