Researchers studied 171,616 people to see how coffee affects their life. They found that people, who drink up to 3.5 cups of coffee a day, have a better chance at a longer life than non-coffee drinkers.

Dear Fonseca
I was dropping my son off at camp the other day when one of the other mothers told me I should tone down my social media posts. She says posting pictures of myself in my new bikini, some of my workout gear and my short shorts could be embarrassing for my son. She says it could lead to bullying and might make him embarrassed of me. I disagree. I think it shows that I'm confident and happy to show off my body. I think my young son would be proud rather than embarrassed. Which side of the fence are you on? Mine or hers?
