Convocation day at Baruch was great. It was a fun and informative day that we 
all met so many people on. We also find out tons about Baruch and what we should 
be anticipating in the upcoming months. 

Lately there has been tons of research done in regards to coffee actually having 
long term health benefits. You'd be surprised to see that researchers have 
actually found significant proof of coffee having health benefits. In a huge 
study done among four hundred thousand people between the ages of 51 and 70, it 
was found that those who had coffee regularly were 10 to 13 percent less likely 
to have died over a thirteen year span.

This article is about New Yorkers and what their coffee habits say about them. It includes the people buying coffee from street vendors, to making coffee in the cafeteria at work, to people who drink gourmet coffee. The article picks up on points that coffee in smaller quantities is good for health and the actual concept of going in and buying coffee is good for health. It states that making conversation with the cashier actually lightens up the day of the coffee-drinker or increases interactions among coworkers. It also mentions that if you drink larger quantities it can have negative effects on your health. Your coffee rituals can tell a person how much money you make, if you are willing to buy an expensive cup of coffee or if you would rather brew coffee at home. At the end of the day coffee plays a large factor in everyday NYC life, with good and bad consequences.

This article is about how the consumption of coffee in a island that is very far away from us may be helping the residents there live longer lives! The people who live in Ikaria , a Greek Island, are known for having high life expectancies. Dr.Gerasimos Siasos, a professor at a university in Greece, along with various colleagues conducted a report, that suggests that a reason that these people from Ikaria live longer lives is because of the coffee they drink. According to this study, the coffee may be helping the bodies of these people generate more antioxidants and have better functioning endotheliums which is  the layer of cells that line blood vessels. This may result in less hear attacks and arterial occlusions. There are also other factors that can be contributing to the people of Ikaria living longer like their diets and how many hours of sleep they get. But coffee may be one of the main reasons why they are living so long.
