Coffee, Anyone?!

I don't drink coffee, but I did some searching out of curiosity. Here's an article on coffee and breathing: <a target=_blank class=ftalternatingbarlinklarge href="http://www.newtoasthma.com/article/504282.aspx">http://www.newtoasthma.com/article/504282.aspx</a>

Also, I found out coffee has lots of antioxidants to help fight disease, and it may help reduce the risk of type 2 diabetes, though I'm not sure it would work for CF related diabetes.

I've always stayed away from coffee for health reasons, and now I'm finding out it has all these benefits. How annoying!

Hmmm, I don't drink coffee, but I guess it <i>is</i> the caffeine in my Chai Tea Latte that makes me feel better after I drink it-lol. Interesting.

Even before Jordan was dx, his doc who treated his asthma told me to have him drink coffee to help open up his airways. He is a coffee addict now just like me.

Caffeine, like ibuprofen, is not only a stimulant, but it is an anti-inflammatory chemical. That's why it can potentially help with opening up your lungs.

Small, infrequent amounts are safe, but too much can lead to dehydration, which can really have a negative effect on the elasticity of your lungs.

I used to drink a lot of caffeine because I was told, like you Fred, that it would help with breathing somehow. I did notice that I had fewer sinus headaches when I had a cola drink quite frequently. Eventually though, since caffeine is addictive, I got addicted. I started having caffeine headaches, which were worse than the sinus headaches. These days I try to avoid cola.

There is a safer way to get the anti-inflammatory benefits of caffeine without running the risk of dehydration like you would get with a carbonated, caffeinated soda. Try having a small amount of dark chocolate here and there. The darker the chocolate, the higher it is in antioxidants.

Enjoy!
