Caffeine causes Caffeine poisoning, although it generally only does that in large quantities like 10+ Cups a day.

I would if needs be cut it out completely, or go for the reccomended 3 cups max a day.

Red Meat contains a source of Iron, but as you get Iron from things like Cerela,s Spinach, Liver etc etc, thne it isn't essential to eat Red Meat, and some Red Meats can be a little fatty, although you can trim the Fat off the side, pre-or post cooking, and reduce the Fat content.

I personally wouldn't eat it all the time. I eat read meat sometimes, but it's not a regular thing. probably 2x a week most, sometimes 1 a fortnight.

Chris, as for the coffee, I tried to quit and it gave me a major headache within 2 hours of not having caffiene .
Boss is right 3 cups max. no white sugar (or use Splenda) and no cream. Coffee also causes bloating in some people (like me). I took it down to 2 small cups a day and that fixed the problem.
Coffee also apparently help to prevent memory loss and alzheimers (that's from what I've heard, I'm not a scientist).

Diana, you would get headaches, becasue Coffee causes withdrawal symptoms, if the body becomes dependant on the Caffeine.

I also read some time back, that Caffeine actually ages cells in the Bladder, (I'm pretty sure thgat's what I read), which to me indicates that Caffeine is potentially a precursor of Incontinence in older people.

So although I drink Diet coke, I've never exceeded 2 cans a day, and don't drink it every day either.

Yes, withdrawl big time, I don't have the will to stop, luv java!
So with aging bladder cells, but no dementia at least I should be able to remember to go pee! Hey we could be on to something here....LOL

You'll just have to keep working on your strength, speed and stamina now, so when you're old, you'll have some left to make it to loo.

One thing to remember to pee, but actions speak louder than words

As for Coffee, no problem for me, I hate the look and smell. I tell myself it's like effluent out of a sewer pipe. That keeps me off it
