Coffee is one of my favorite things. I am addicted to my morning cup of coffee, yet it does not appear on the "Choose MyPlate" daily recommendations for healthy food options. My grandmother always said it would stunt my growth, but I think that I've proved her wrong on that! I remember from a very young age sipping milk and sugar with a little coffee at her kitchen table on Saturday mornings. Now I drink a cup of joe every morning to help me get my day started. According to new research by the Mayo Clinic there is an association with coffee consumption and decreased overall morality and possibly cardiovascular mortality instead of the past claims of increased risk for cancer and heart disease.
Are you like me? Are you a different person in the morning before you’ve had your coffee? In this week’s episode of the Food Factor Mississippi State Extension Services Natasha Haynes tells you how to enjoy your coffee without adding loads of empty calories. Grab a cup and watch this short video and enjoy this week's segment of the Food Factor! Don't forget about our upcoming "Gathering Grounds Meet and Greet" on November 6th here at the DeSoto County Extension Service office. Come and enjoy a cup of coffee with me and share your thoughts on future family and consumer science programming ideas that you would like to see here locally in DeSoto County in the upcoming months and years.
