Advice from a 112 year old - don't drink Coffee
So now you see an article that suggests you avoid coffee, yett you read studies that coffee has plenty of benefits for health. What are you to do? Lots of centenarians have their own formulas that include eggs and bacon for breakfast every day and some still like their smokes whether it's a cigar, cigarette, or a pipe.
I'd drink coffee if I needed it or liked it and the same for tea. I prefer both of these iced rather than hot, but the taste and energy boost is hard to ignore as one of life's pleasures.
I'd eat cheesecake if I liked that, and ditto for bacon, eggs, or a beer. Pizza is probably the one food that almost everyone can enjoy, yet even that has a limit for healthy inclusion in a diet.
Keep in mind that moderation has much in common with investing where you diversify among all investments to limit risk. Doing the same with your diet while leaning heavily into those healthy dietary habits that are proven to be assets for good health just like an investor has a heavy proportion of their investments in conservative and stable investments while still investing in some less reliable outcomes. Having a bowl of chocolate ice cream now and then is just like investing in that new tech stock that can give you lots of return but has some serious downsides toward risk. Limit your exposure to each.
A good strategy for both investing and living includes balance. This includes eating your green vegetables, low fat meats, beans, and whole grains among many other choices that can either add or diminish your health over time usually depending on how you balance your consumption of each.
Tennis players should think of their diet as a means to health and performance, while now and then eating a ginger snap, frozen yogurt, or some mud pie makes living a disciplined life more tolerable.
