According to the research, consumption of 2-3 cups of coffee a day reduces deaths from all causes by 17 percent. This corresponds to an average extra lifespan of 1.8 years.
PROTECTS FROM DISEASES OF OLDER AGES
The latest study showed that coffee, beyond adding years to life, preserves cognitive functions and protects against age-related diseases.
“Coffee consumption has undergone a profound change, evolving from a harmful habit to a safe lifestyle that truly protects human health,” said Catia R. Lopes and Rodrigo A. Cunha, authors of the new study.
PROVIDED STRONG EVIDENCE
Large-scale epidemiological studies have revealed correlations between moderate coffee consumption and reduced risks of chronic diseases such as Parkinson’s, some cancers, and type 2 diabetes. Researchers say the latest data provides strong evidence that coffee consumption has several health benefits.
