97. Coffee With All Milk?

All milk coffee is an extreme luxury and you should try to wean yourself off these, but only if you want to have blood, heart and arteries in tip top condition. Why? To reduce, heart disease and strokes just for starters. You could add a significant number of years to your life if you do this.

If you think it’s too big a change, it’s a lot harder to stop taking sugar in coffee, than it is to change from milk to water. Once you’ve got used to it, you’ll actually taste the fat in milk.

If you must have milk, just put a small amount in, and have skimmed milk, preferably goats’ skimmed milk, or soya milk. Soya milk may make it curdle if the water is boiling hot. Cream is also a luxury, although it is a lot healthier than these ‘fake’ coffee accompanying products such as Coffee mate.

If you were to analyze the fat and sugar content of some high street coffee shop coffees, it would be healthier to eat a big piece of cake! – oh no! you have that TOO?!!

Try and limit these to say, one or two a week, so it doesn’t get out of control. It's a lot easier than you think to get into the healthier habit. Try it for two weeks and see.
