Oh! My EON

Yesterday it hit me hard. 

That moment when a mom realizes that their baby isnt quite a baby any more. 

EON: 18months old.. and counting!

This kid is his own little man and is needing me less and less.

Luckily, even though he prefers to do most things on his own, 
he still loves to cuddle with mommy and daddy and hopefully 
that will last a few more months or better, years.

         

All the love, Mommy

              

Coffee or Tea?

Thinking of switching from coffee to tea like me?

Here's a list of advantages you may not have thought about before that may help you decide!

Health Wise:

Coffee has been linked to a handful of health benefits, but it can also lead to hypertension, caffeine-related problems and heart disease. Tea has dozens of proven and widely-suggested health benefits. The following is just a sampling:

- Tea has much less caffeine than coffee - between 25-50% as much.

- Tea contains tannins and catechins which have been associated with cancer and heart disease prevention

- Tea has been shown to act as a stress-reliever.

- Tea contains the polyphenol quercetin, which may interrupt the oxidation of LDL or "bad cholesterol". It may also lower blood pressure and blood sugar, suppress aging, prevent food poisoning and skin disease and act as an anti-viral. Quercetin can also act as a natural COX-2 inhibitor, providing pain-relief similar to pharmeceutical versions like Vioxx and Celebrex.

- Tea decreases triglycerides and free fatty acids in your bloodstream, while coffee contains cafestol, a fat-like chemical that actually can increase your cholesterol levels.

- Tea contains EGCG and theaflavins which can suppress the enzymes required for cancer-cell growth, thereby slowing the progression of some cancers. (Some research suggests that the antioxidants in tea may neutralize this effect, however).

- Tea is a digestive aid, it flushes the digestive system.

- Unlike coffee, tea has almost no carbohydrates, fats or proteins.

- Tea contains L-theanine, which has been shown to boost mental alertness and help the body's immune system.

- Oxalates found in tea can bind with free iron in the bloodstream, which can help the body fight HIV.

- Polyphenols in green tea can reduce intestinal inflammation related to IBD.

- Tea can help prevent diseases like Alzheimer's

- Tea may also be a significant factor in strengthening bones against oseoporosis

- Tea lowers your blood pressure

- Tea can help prevent kidney stones

- Some anti-venom serums have actually been extracted from black tea!

...so are you going to switch? or stay with your coffee?

as for me? i'll stay with my Tea :)
