Does drinking coffee reduce my risk of death?

Unbelievable, isn’t it? I was taught drinking coffee was damaging to one’s health, so I didn’t drink it for most of my life. In recent years studies have proven the exact opposite.

In a moment I am going to refer you to an article by Life Extension which is a company I have followed for about forty years. I also purchase products from them every month.

400,000 healthy people aged 50-73 were tracked for 13 years, and their death rates compared to the general population. The result was that drinking 4-5 cups of coffee per day resulted in a 12-16 percent reduction in death rates as compared to the general population.

Why would this be so? This is because natural coffee beans contain more than 1,000 different compounds that could affect health and the risk of dying. The Life Extension article, Coffee Drinking May Add Years To Your Life Span explains this all in-depth, and it contains 73 references to support its claims and research. Well done!

So now Patti and I begin our day with coffee which we enjoy. It makes me wonder if everything I have been taught over my lifetime is wrong.

I am glad to have discovered several health resources which I feel I can trust. They include:

Any time I have a health question, I use the search bar on the above 4 sites and type in the condition I am questioning, and I receive tons of articles with lots of ideas for me to ponder and pray about. I consider this a wonderful, easy solution to gain valuable information on natural approaches to health care. Of course, I couple this with the revelation by the Holy Spirit as I ask Him to anoint my understanding as to any steps He would have me take to balance out my body.

If you would like more research, Google the phrase “Health benefits of drinking coffee.”

Have you ever wished you could just sit down and have a long talk with the Lord? Wouldn't it be wonderful to move beyond having a theology that states that God loves you to actually hearing Him whisper words of love into your heart? When you're worried or confused, wouldn't you love to see the situation from His perspective and hear how He wants you to respond? When things don't seem to be going your way and your prayers aren't answered the way you had hoped, wouldn't it be great to hear Him tell you where He is in the midst of it, and what He is working out in your life? Are you ever just a little bit jealous of others who say with such confidence, "The Lord said...."?

Counseled by God

by Mark and Patti Virkler | 146 Pages

Have you ever been defeated by negative emotions such as anger, fear, guilt, inferiority, condemnation or depression? Have you tried to fight them off unsuccessfully? Is there an answer that is deeper than simply trying to mentally reason yourself out of these emotions? Is there a way that Jesus can speak a word of life into the depths of your emotional despair and bring healing on a deep level? Is there a form of Christian counseling that begins and ends with the movement of Christ within your heart, rather than simply with the words of man?

Do you often wake up feeling there was a significant message in your dream, but you’re just not sure what it is? Like Daniel and Joseph, do you long to be able to help others understand their own dreams and win them to Christ as you explain His night messages to them? Wouldn't it be nice if you could receive mid-course corrections from the Lord while you sleep? Do you wish you could be receiving divine inspiration, creative solutions to problems, and direction from the Lord during that third of your life that you’re “just” sleeping?
