Health benefits of Coffee and Tea compared – By Dr Harold Gunatillake Written by Dr Harold Gunatillake OAM -Health writer Drinking Tea or coffee as a beverage is a personal choice, but health benefits favor coffee. Both beverages have caffeine. Tea leaves have more caffeine than coffee beans before they are brewed, but the caffeine in tea is extracted more during brewing within ten seconds and further diluted more when adding hot water. Also, most of the caffeine is left behind with the tea leaves at the base of your cup. For these reasons, brewed tea you enjoy has less caffeine than brewed coffee. Both tea and coffee in excess can increase anxiety, rapid heart rate, high blood pressure, insomnia, restlessness and nausea in hypersensitive people. Tea and coffee have protective antioxidants to neutralise free radicals in your body; coffee is a better source of antioxidants. Tea has catechins ...

Old Joe- living up to 103- By Dr harold Gunatillake Compiled and written by Dr harold Gunatillake OAM The secrets to a long life could be revealed by the diets of supercentenarians (that’s people who live to be more than 100 years old). https://tillthemountainsdisappearams.blogspot.com/2022/08/the-oldest-living-josephian-103-year.html This is the most inspiring story I have read for a long time, written about an old Josephian (St Joseph College, Colombo, Sri Lanka), Basil Siriwardena, still living in the Kochchikade area, at 103, written by Avishka Seneviratne and Akila de Sva. I am disappointed that no mention has been recorded as far as his favourite diet so that we could get some advice regarding dietetic habits about the accepted longevity foods. The Adventist Health Study 2, following 96,000 Americans since 2002, found that the people who lived the longest were not vegans or meateaters. They were “pesco-vegetarians,” or pescatarians, who ate a plantbased diet, including ...
