My Go-To Morning Infusion Can Increase Our Lifespan
When my doctor finally (for the first time in my life) told me that I was doing something good with my daily routine, it shocks me, especially because this was about the amount of coffee I'm drinking.

'Black Insomnia' - How Much Is Too Much Caffeine?
According to the National Coffee Association's online survey in 2013, 83 percent of adults in the United States consume coffee. That boils down to roughly three cups per person per day - a staggering 587 million cups. The Mayo Clinic doesn't recommend more than 400 milligrams of caffeine daily, which is the same as four cups of brewed coffee, 10 cans of cola or two "energy shot" drinks. A fatal dose of caffeine can be as much as 10 grams, or roughly the weight of a #2 pencil, which could be found in some 4.7 gallons of coffee.

Seaweeds are high in minerals, as a result of their marine growing environment. A delicacy of Japan, the Nori seaweed is roasted, making it a pure seaweed and a great addition to many foods. Whilst in production only a small amount of sea salt and oil are added to the Nori, giving it that crunchy and sweet flavor. Japan has benefited for many years with this vegetable from the sea, its people having a strong appreciation for the nutritional benefits and longevity that it provides.
