Fuller details here: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-13294022 Nose blowing - why is that shown separately form normal sex? : ) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ziploc Posted May 7, 2011 Share Posted May 7, 2011 So if I avoid the triggers my feeble blood vessels caused by passive smoking will be a ok? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ziploc Posted May 7, 2011 Share Posted May 7, 2011 Oh well, I suppose I'll save a lot of time by not going to the bathroom. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abneo3sierra Posted May 7, 2011 Share Posted May 7, 2011 hahaha..the age of the forum? I am still quite awhile from having to deal with it I think(hope)...but wow, some of those I would have guessed, but coffee? as #1? $hit! I cannot live without that :-) edit..between nose blowing and normal sex :-) it still doesn't catch coffee???? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gunnergoz Posted May 8, 2011 Share Posted May 8, 2011 So its easy to live forever then; don't exercise, don't blow your nose, drink decaf, let the old lady do all the sexy moves, and douse your food liberally with olive oil so there's no strain, no pain. Sounds like a plan. Now if I can only stop watching the news so as to avoid the startle/anger thingies, I'll be set. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abneo3sierra Posted May 8, 2011 Share Posted May 8, 2011 Changing to tea looks favourite Tea is doable...but I would assume the reason for coffee,and cola on the list, is the caffeine, and tea has a lot of that as well I believe. Sadly...that also rules out my Mountain Dew :-( 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dieseltaylor Posted May 8, 2011 Author Share Posted May 8, 2011 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Health_effects_of_tea Very interesting article. Some of the research may be bullish but some probably has a grain of truth - particularly the inverse stomach cancer result. I am glad I drink tea - but it is black tea ... with milk and sweetener. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Emrys Posted May 8, 2011 Share Posted May 8, 2011 Let's see...I avoid strenuous exercise, rarely drink coffee, seldom get angry now that I've given up listening to the news, and haven't had sex in a while. I might live another century then, but what's the point? Michael 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
