Coffee. This earthy, robust beverage brewed from coffee beans has been a staple of most early-risers for thousands of years. It’s been associated with decreased risks of various diseases and even added to creams to promote a more youthful appearance but a new study has revealed yet another of this wonder-drink’s myriad benefits.
The latest study has shown coffee consumption actually lowers your risk of death. The study printed in JAMA Internal Medicine on July 2, 2018 studied 498,134 people, male and female over a decade. The exact results are astonishing!
- Drinking less than a cup of coffee a day was connected to a 6% reduction in premature death
- One cup of coffee had an 8% lower risk associated with it
- Two to five cups of coffee had a 12% risk associated with it
- Six to seven cups of coffee had a 16% lower risk
- Eight cups of coffee or more had a 14% lower risk
A cup a day could keep you living much longer.
The authors of the study noted other improvements in the subjects including:
- Improvements in how inflammation was handled
- Improved liver enzyme levels
- Improved Endothelial function
- Improvements in insulin sensitivity
Coffee has been used for centuries to add some pep to your daily step and keep you feeling full of energy.
