Drinking Black Tea Each Day May Lower Risk of dEATH, Study Shows
Well…. “Modestly” lower risk. Darn!
Health.com reported this, “The participants were followed for about 11 years, and researchers determined that people who drank at least two cups of tea per day had a 9%–13% lower risk of death from all causes, compared to people who did not drink tea at all.”
So add black tea to the beverages that offer some health benefits like coffee and green tea do. Plus water. And we’ll add tequila to those but not based on any facts or studies. We just like it.

it sorta makes sense
If we keep exercising as we age, we can stay physically fit and mentally healthier. Even loss of muscle mass is not inevitable. Don’t believe us? We wouldn’t either. But how about a Harvard Biologist? Many Americans stop exercising, which leads them to become less fit, which in turns causes them to exercise even less. Read more in Inc.

coffee balls
ABC News reports, “Swiss retailer Migros said Tuesday that it is launching a coffeemaking system designed to replace capsules that produce thousands of tons of waste worldwide each year.
The cooperative said its spherical capsules — described as “coffee balls” — are fully compostable, unlike the plastic and aluminum containers popularized by its rival Nestle under the brand Nespresso 36 years ago.
Migros said its coffee balls are encased in a thin, flavorless, seaweed-based cover that can be discarded with the spent coffee after use.
The company said the CoffeeB system, which also features a special coffeemaker, will be rolled out first in Switzerland and France this year, followed by Germany in 2023.”
Good thing we have time to get accustomed to saying “coffee balls” and consuming a morning dose of seaweed with our caffeine.

Quantity. Not Quality. That’s Us!
“One of the trends we have seen with this (Baby Boomer) age group,” says Liz Paquette, the head of consumer insights at Drizly, “is that they typically spend less per product, but more per order, than other generations.”
But we also learned we like premium wines. So we’re not totally cheap!

Checkmate!
We enjoy writing about, but not actually playing, pickleball. America’s fastest growing sport. Popular with Baby Boomers. So a New York Times article by Melissa Kirsch caught our eye.
| “”The lesson began with a provocation. “People say pickleball is a mash-up of tennis, badminton and Ping-Pong,” our teacher said. “But it’s really a game of chess.”” |
Riiiiiight. We’re five shots ahead of you, dude!

Kalimotxo Konnoisseur
If it’s in Esquire magazine, it must be classy and right up our alley.
“Kalimotxo is a slow-burn kind of drink. Upon your first-ever sip, you’ll probably recoil at the taste, which can be accurately described as cherry cough syrup with Splenda. Or, for the 7/11 crowd, cherry Slurpee blended with Coke Slurpee. Mixing equal parts cheap red wine—the cheaper, the better, and if it’s from a box, bullseye—with Coca Cola doesn’t leave room for flavor nuance. But like most cheap and easy drinks, you’ll build up a tolerance and then a hearty appreciation. Soon enough, you’ll have reached fiery passion.”
Count us in!!
“To make it, you could find dry Spanish wine instead of using the dregs of whatever bottle you uncorked two nights ago. You could measure out Coke with a jigger like a real asshole. You could slice off a lemon wedge to cut the sweetness. But the soul of Kalimotxo will always be cheap and easy, so don’t overthink it. In fact, underthink it. That’s the whole point.”
Stay classy Buzzed Boomers!
