100NO 433: Coffee – When To have it and when to avoid it

When is the best time of the day to enjoy a coffee? The bulletproof phenomenon has seen many people start their day with a coffee. Whilst others use coffee as a stimulant to get them through the day. Some are unable to metabolise caffeine well at all, whereas some can drink coffee and feel little difference.
So, what is the best way to consume coffee? Is it worth quitting? Or is it something that we can enjoy for our entire lives, guilt-free and for the love of it.
All of these questions are discussed on this c0ffee-loving episode of 100 Not Out.

100NO 431: Friends Behaving Badly & Mastering Conversation

In all of our research an active and masterful social life is a key ingredient to not just longevity, but having a lot of fun!
On this episode we discuss the awkward event that saw one of Damian’s friends leave a conversation shortly after Damian had said something. This was a digital chat – a WhatsApp group – and the “leaving the conversation” action has prompted an entire episode on not just etiquette, but how our triggers differ to that of our friends – and what we consider to be acceptable and unacceptable behaviour in a friendship.
