As this article shares, there is no shortage of research studies attesting to the benefits of coffee. But now researchers behind a new study found that it might actually increase your lifespan.
Published in the Annals of Internal Medicine, the study the analyzed consumption habits of more than 170,000 coffee drinkers in the United Kingdom ages 37 to 73 and followed them for an average of seven years.
What they found was that those people who drank between 1.5 to 3.5 cups of coffee per day were 16% to 21% less likely to die from all-cause, cancer-related and cardiovascular disease-related mortality during the study period than non-coffee drinkers.
In 2018, a study tracked over 500,000 participants across 10 years and found that drinking 6 to 7 cups daily had a 16% lower risk of early death.
What’s the takeaway here? Drink coffee, especially quality, mold-free coffee… and be sure to switch to decaf by 2pm.
