keep that level up

KEEP THAT LEVEL UP

the bmj @bmj_latest

when i first retired i wasnt on any blood pressure medications
i was looking for ways to lower my blood pressure without
taking drugs
one way was to drop my caffeine intake
i tried caffeine free coffee
that only lasted one day
i tired half caffeine and half no caffeine
that only lasted one day

then
i later read an article on drinking 2-3 cups of java a day
it helped it seem to clear the mind
make one sharper in the morning
it may help to slow the memory decline in dementia
so
thats all i needed to know right there
back to the caffeinated coffee
like
it should be
strong and black

so
i went back to my three cups a day
i felt better
i felt more alert
i felt more energized

now i only drink it the first thing in the morning
not drinking any after lunch
since i noticed it seemed to interfere with my sleep
at night
something i already have problems with from the
alzheimers drug aricept (donepezil)

then
after reestablishing my caffeine levels back to my
normal levels
i
then attacked my blood pressure
using a low dose blood pressure medication to keep it
down to the new recommend levels of less than
130/80

im happy
with my blood pressure and my caffeine levels now

then
last week i read this article
british medical journal coffee consumption and health...
on caffeine intake
well
it just reinforced what i already knew and felt

it seems drinking 3-4 cups a day of java
lowers the incidence of
premature death
cardiovascular disease
liver disease
dementia
several types of cancer
gall stones
type 2 diabetes
im sure theres more

thats all i need to know about keeping my levels up
of caffeine
im in
