The Benefits of Coffee

I learned just today from the Boy Abunda and Kris Aquino's show (yes, Cathy, I do watch it sometimes) when I think their topic is healthy (and not just products of some ramblings of some you-know-what) I used to just throw away used  ground coffee after having my brewed coffee every morning, but after listening to Boy enumerate the other uses of coffee, I will be doing otherwise. According to their guest, the proprietor of F salon, you can use your coffee as:

1. Body scrub - just squeeze calamansi (Philippine lemon) and honey (as antibacterial), vanilla

and water, to get desired consistency and voila!!!, you have instant body scrub. You can start applying and scrubbing your body with it.

2. Deodorizer - Put your used ground coffee in a container and place it inside your
refrigerator. It will absorb undesirable smell (especially if you don't regularly clean your ref).



3. Glass cleaner - The coarse texture of ground coffee can be used in removing stubborn glass stains. Just wipe the coffee in the surface and then rub the area, after a short while, wash
the area and you can examine the effect.

4. Organic fertilizer - Do your share in conserving the beauty of nature and the environment,
use natural fertilizer on your plants at home. It can also drive away insects like
mosquitoes.

So next time you see your ground coffee, try reusing it or better yet, try finding another use for it. You can comment more use of coffee if you discover more. See you next ish..
