In Between Coffee Mugs and Good Souls

Monday, September 12th, 2011

As seen in most TV ads, waking up in the cold morning, looking at the sunrise and a hand cup full of coffee could start your day perfectly. The aroma embodies the hard work of harvesting the beans from a vast field and the taste satisfies the buds as it is brewed from the finest ingredients. Coffee by definition is a brewed beverage with a dark, slightly acidic flavor prepared from the roasted seeds of the coffee plant, colloquially called coffee beans. The beans are found in coffee cherries, which grow on trees cultivated in over 70 countries, primarily in equatorial Latin America, Southeast Asia, South Asia and Africa. And is one of the most consummated beverages in the world, creating a stimulating effect to humans.

The first cup of coffee I had was the one my grandma made when I was younger. The finely grounded coffee beans calm my body as the incorporated sweetness of the sugar gave me a hint that every sip is worth it. Since then, I have had countless mugs and cups of coffee from every corner of the globe. For me, food and drinks are an emotional experience. You enjoy your favorite cafes and restaurants in large part because of the way they make you feel. Simple moments are made even better by just having those little talks over a cup of good coffee plus a set of tasty pastry along the side. And then a friend of sent me a gift for my birthday. It was in an unusually packed red and green package, as though, it was Christmas already, with a gold ribbon on it. I opened it and saw two bags of gourmet coffee in it. I immediately transferred them into different canisters.

In one of my trips to Asia, I brought along with me one canister. It was a business trip in the middle of the year. Unlike America, the wet season lasts even longer in some parts of the Asian region and I’m so glad that I don’t have to drive myself to strangers’ streets just to find a cozy place to be and do my reports and maybe, drink coffee to stimulate my senses. There was a time that I got really cracked up with work and browsed my Facebook account and searched for “Ganovia coffee” in Google. Amazingly, there was very little information associated with the searches until I called my friend Kirsten. She said, she bought the coffee from her chiropractor who used to treat her spine curvature (Scoliosis) and she thought that I would like the taste plus its “Super Food” content. I’ve heard a lot of stuff containing there super food but I really don’t know what are the kinds, and I remembered she mentioned about a page on Facebook where I can look for more information about the content.

I learned that a certain Happy Berry contains rich amount of antioxidants, particularly carotenoids such as beta-carotene, Vitamins A, C, and E, which helps boosts the immunity and an anti oxidant called zeaxanthin which acts to protect the retina of the eye. I am very conscious about my eyesight because I spend substantial amount of time working in front of my computer and doing the paper works. The first time I heard that Cordyceps are good food for all I know; they thrive on moisture rich environment and are considered to be fungi. The silly looking is known as the “Healing Mushroom” to Ancient Chinese that has an anti inflammatory effect that is needed by the body to help fight infection and its relative, the Ganoderma Mushroom. In centuries, it is used to promote health and longevity in the Orient.

For the longest time I have been a coffee-holic and going to places just to find for freshly roasted, dark coloured heavenly tasted beverage, I find Ganovia Coffee as one of the greatest things that happened to brewing!

 

“The power of a man’s mind is directly proportional to the quantity of coffee he drinks.” – Sir James Mackintosh

Reduce High Blood Pressure Without Pills

Wednesday, June 23rd, 2010

REDUCE HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE WITHOUT PILLS

Are you dealing with high blood pressure? Medications will only mask the problem. According to a study conducted in late 2007 it’s time for you to stop relying on prescription medication and turn to a natural, healhty way to eliminate hypertension: chiropractic adjustments.

The study found that the correction of a spinal misalignment of the Atlas vertebra was often associated with reductions in blood pressure in hypertensive people.

In a two-month study 50 high blood pressure patients, who were found to have a misalignment at the Atlas vertebrae, were divided into two groups. The first group was the control group which received faux chiropractic adjustments. The second group received chiropractic care to specifically align the Atlas vertebrae. No one in either of the groups took any medication during the study.

When the study began, the average blood pressure of the control group was 145/91. The average blood pressure of the chiropractic adjustment group was 147/92. At the end of the study the chiropractic adjustment group experienced a significant decrease in blood pressure, averaging to 130/82. The control group maintained their original high blood pressure readings.

Medical experts said that chiropractic adjustments naturally delivered the same results that would occur when a hypertension patient simultaneously took two different blood pressure reducing medications.

Isn’t it good to know that chiropractic adjustments can create better health without the use of potentially harmful medication?
