Coffee could increase your life … How?
Your daily coffee habits may give you more years to live healthier than before because of its many health benefits.
A study revealed that drinking between one and a half cups and three and a half cups of coffee daily could add years to your life.
A Chinese research team monitored 171,000 people for seven years and found that those who regularly drank coffee were one-third less likely to die than those who did not. They added that it did not matter whether the coffee was gentle or sweetened with sugar.
Many studies asserted the potential health benefits of coffee from reducing the risk of type 2 diabetes to reducing the likelihood of depression.
Scientists suggest this may be due to coffee contains antioxidants, which help reduce internal inflammation and cell damage.
In the study, a team from Jinan University in Guangzhou, outside Hong Kong, announced data from the UK Biobank a collection of medical and genetic data of more than half a million Britons from 2009 to 2018.
Participants were around 56 years old on average and did not have cancer or heart disease when the study began.
The amount of coffee they drink per day was measured at the beginning of the study.
The results showed that 3,177 deaths were registered during the study, including 1,725 cancer and 628 heart diseases.
The studies reported their results showed that those who ate hot drinks had a “lower risk of death for all causes” than those who did not.
The group, directed by Dr. Dan Liu of the University, concluded that “moderate consumption of unsweetened coffee sweetened with sugar is associated with a lower risk of death“.
But the study was observational, meaning it could not decide whether drinking coffee actually caused a decrease in the number of deaths.
