Get Best Medicare
In order to qualify for most Medicare-related plans, you must meet the standard Medicare eligibility requirements and live in the "geographic service area."
Medicare-related plans are regulated by each state and approved for sale within geographic service areas.
In most cases, these areas are organized on a county-by-county basis; in some large urban markets, they're organized on a city or even neighborhood basis.

Dear Coffee lovers, Caffeine may actually be beneficial for you
24-Aug-2015
Are you the kind for whom a hot cup of coffee is necessary to let the energy hit them? Do you know why caffeine makes you feel awake and more alert? It’s because it’s a Since stimulant. Although, excess of anything is bad, so if you consume too much caffeine, you may experience side effects like headaches, heartburn, a fast heart beat or a host of other problems which may be grave. For example, a person with an anxiety problem or panic attacks may find that caffeine makes them feel worse. Also, a person with a heart problem shouldn’t use caffeine because it may cause their heart to work too hard.
The great news for coffee lovers:
The Food and Drug Administration says moderate amounts of caffeine may actually be good for you and not have any harmful effects.
Now, how does one specify ‘moderate’? It depends on who you ask. OhioHealth MedCentral Hospitals say about no more than three 8-ounce cups of coffee a day is enough whereas according to the FDA, one to two 5-ounce cups of coffee each day is the limit.
Here’s What the Research States About Some Common Health Concerns Among Moderate Caffeine Users.
- Cirrhosis: Studies show that people who drink alcohol but also drink three or more cups of coffee a day have half the risk for cirrhosis, compared with people who drink alcohol but not coffee.
- Heart attacks: Studies at the Brigham and Women’s Hospital and Harvard Medical School indicate caffeine does not show an increased risk for heart disease or heart attack.
- Cholesterol levels: There are two substances in caffeine that could raise cholesterol levels. However, The American Heart Association says that paper filters take out these substances.
- High blood pressure: Caffeine may temporarily raise blood pressure slightly. Blood pressure usually returns to normal once the body gets used to the caffeine.
- Cancer: Several recent studies suggest coffee drinkers were 25 to 75 percent less likely to get cancer of the colon, liver, and breast.
- Diabetes: Middle-aged adults who drink four or more cups of coffee a day have a lower risk of developing type 2 diabetes.
As it is evident, coffee may have many health benefits for older adults if consumed in moderation.
Caffeine affects everyone differently as no two people are exactly the same. It’s always a good idea to ask your doctor how much caffeine is safe for you.
