Another excuse for coffee!

If you are a coffee lover and suffer from Asthma, then here’s another excuse you have to keep sipping on coffee. The stronger your coffee, the stronger the effect on all the blocked respiratory passages! Too much of caffeine is not going to do you any good, so stop with 2-3 cups of coffee per day. Those who don’t like coffee can switch over to black tea.
