I used to drink hot coffee four to five cups a day. I tried to lessen my habit of drinking too much coffee, or as much as possible i would like to stop totally. I could not sleep in the night if i drink coffee starting before lunch. Instead of hot coffee i choose to drink half cup of hot choco milk just to destruct my strong restless desire to drink coffee. I think i am already slightly addicted. and hot coffee as an alternative but can't help it makes me nauseated.
Coffee is an anti-oxidant. Antioxidants may possibly reduce the risks of cancer and gives anti aging effect to oldish. What i can only advice is to drink minimally. at least one or two, three a day is enough. I must have to lessen the dosage i used too, to make it beneficial for my health.

Saluyot :Corchorus
This is one of my favorite vegetable. We've been eating so much saluyot since i was a child. We just simply picked the saluyot tops (young leaves only ) from the fields free and cooked with bagoong (anchovy) vinegar and garlic. Put a little water just enough to cook the saluyot leaves. It is just like cooking the way like paksiw. We love also the recipe like denengdeng or inabraw na saluyot . This is very nutritious food and good source of betacarotene, iron, calcium and Vitamin C. The plant has also an antioxidant activity with a significant a-tocopherol equivalent Vitamin E according to wikipedia.
But my folks really loves saluyot almost everyday especially on rainy season. They believed that saluyot makes them bones strong and healthy. I can personally confirmed their beliefs because only farming was the source of income in our place before when was young and even those aged individuals can also works in the farm under the sun everyday. That is the reason why i always cooked also this vegetables for me and my kids not only for the health benefits but for them to remember my folks.
This plants starts to grow during Month of May when usually the start of rainy season. They grow on soft soil or wet.
