Coffee : 2 important topics which nobody talks about ...

 




Let me start with some general informations about coffee.

Around the tenth century, some Arab traders brought coffee beans from Africa, from which was extracted a drink that, consequently to boiling, becomes exciting; qahwa that means the "exciting"; hence the Turkish word kahve.





The documentation on the use of coffee go back to the fifteenth century, when the Sufis of Yemen drank coffee to stay awake during yield their long prayers; then in the sixteenth century coffee began to be sold in Istanbul, Cairo and Mecca; in the seventeenth century the drink began to spread in Europe through Venice, with the provisional name of " Arabian wine".

Today it is the most widely used psychoactive substance consumed in the world; every day are consumed nearly 1.6 billion cups of coffee. An impressive quantity!

Along with tea, coffee is so the most common drink exciting the nervous system.
The characteristic effect of coffee is due by caffeine, an alkaloid that excites the central nervous system and stimulates the organs such as the cardiovascular system.
The amount of caffeine depends on its preparation:

• Espresso : 40-100 mg per cup
• Mocha coffee : 40-100 mg per cup
• American coffee : 100-120 mg per cup
• Instant coffee 65 - 100mg per cup

If are drunk more than 6 cups a day you may experience chronic intoxication called caffeinomania, with the following symptoms:

• 
  addiction ( increasing needs and psychological dependence )
• alteration of sleep patterns (insomnia)
• alterations of cardiac function , since it increases the adrenaline and noradrenaline that stimulate the sympathetic nervous system ; as well as the heart rate increases blood flow to muscles, while decreasing blood flow to the skin and internal organs
• agitation, anxiety, irritability , tremors , flushing, headache , gastrointestinal disturbances , depression and disorientation
  
  
  
  

It is interesting to note the inability of spiders to construct webs after caffeine intake, since it is a poison against insects and arthropods that might attack the plant; for arachnids has a disorienting effect .


 

The alkaloid caffeine is present in various plants such as cocoa (therefore also in chocolate), tea, cola, matè and guaranà; the latter differs for the slow release of caffeine because of its lipid content.
Today, caffeine is used in some energy drinks and candy such as Red Bull (80 mg caffeine per 250 ml), Planet Energy, White Bull, Shark, Foosh, Burn, Scho-Ka-Kola, Coca-Cola (35 mg caffeine for 330 ml).

The coffee plant produces fruits in a continuous cycle. 

Selected the raw coffee beans, which are green in colour, are then roasted to 200-220 ° C for 10-15 minutes with traditional machines, for a couple of minutes with very modern equipments.
Coffee has no nutritional value; unique contribution is given by sugar with which is sweetened.
Contains putrescine, a toxic substance that is also found in rotten meat.
Decaffeinated could be considerable even more damaging, because it is used a solvent (water, carbon dioxide, ethyl acetate, dichloromethane), of which remains a residue (even if authorized by law), but that is always a chemical solvent (to understand each other, a solvent is also what you use to dilute the paint ... ).
It may be adulterated with dyes, burnt sugar, walnut oil and petroleum jelly.
It can be sophisticated by adding some other flavoured vegetables in powder or dehydrated.

After this long introduction (but I wanted to give you an idea quite precise about it) I come to the 2 important points of which no one talks about:

STEP 1:
as described above, coffee is produced by roasting fresh and green coffee beans, torrefying to 200-220 degrees Celsius. 
What does this mean? Means that it becomes a carcinogenic product! 
It is certified that any food when is toasted or even smoked, easily becomes responsible for the onset of tumors. 
Somebody will say: "I drink coffee from a long time and I have nothing .. ". Certainly, tumors are not formed by a short time intoxication but by a continued intoxication. 
It is the accumulation for some time that creates these conditions; toxins are deposited at a deep level, organs become no more able to expell them, organs and tissues become damaged ..... and becomes afterwards difficult to repair this situation. Cancer is produced mainly by a chronic intoxication.

Coffe has quite a similar situation as cigarettes; above packages is written that can lead to cancer (mainly because is inhaled smoked air), but many persons believe that it is not true and therefore continue to smoke ... But studies certify that continuing to use a damaging substance does not allow the body to be able to detoxify; thus it is created such a state of organic weakness that gives rise to tumors.
Who wants to continue to drink coffee (and the same for smoking ... ) should put a question to himself: "Should I like that one day there will be for me the need to have a surgery, cutting away a certain part of my body?" or "Should I have no problem if I'll have one day to undergo chemotherapy (which hurts even more and only allows to procrastinate the fatal effect of the tumour) with all his side effects?"
Be careful .... in addition to the highly carcinogenic factor of roasting, some studies say that coffee contains, albeit in small doses, around twenty other carcinogens!

STEP 2:
as written above, coffee is an exciting stuff for the nervous system.
What does this mean? Means that when the nervous system is stimulated, the energy is taken from various parts of the body, to spend them outwards. 
From where do you think that energy could be taken by coffee when you feel, after drinking it, more energetic? From coffee itself? No, it is impossible, because coffee has any kind of power inside... it is chemichally proved so!  There are no nutrients inside, there is nothing that could give your some more force, power, energy or vitality.

So, what I am saying is that the inside vital energy is channelled into outside activities ...... is spent outside.....
So the problem comes out from the fact that in order to use power outside, the vital energy is stolen from the internal activities! 

What does it mean? It means that even if you're tired you should sleep and that if your yield is at a certain level you should not use more than that... not use caffeine!

Similarly if you have money in the bank and you begin to spend more than the amount deposited, you'll be always in debt, till when you'll become a poor beggar. In fact, drinking coffee, you request energy from all the internal organs, which, with the passing of time, will become really poor in their ability to work at the best. So, afterwards, doesn't take a lot to get sick ... because your internal organs will be tired and discharged! The immune system can work only even if there is high vital energy; if  energy is in a small quantity (consequently to caffeine and we do not realize this because we have the feeling to have energy because we are using it outside and we feel energetic outside) the defences are very weak and the body becomes easly target for any kind of disease.

 

Be careful ... the coffee takes you to be debilitated in energy ( in fact has no nutrient quality; is scientifically proved, as mentioned above), that makes possible to have diseases that could be avoided. 

If a horse is always used and is whipped to make more than his possibilities, at the end his life will not last long...

 

Avoid coffee and drinks with caffeine! Take care of your health and of your well-being!
