Drinking upto four cups of coffee every day may help you reduce the risk of an early death, research suggests.<\/p>\n
The findings showed that people who consumed at least four cups of coffee per day had a 64 per cent lower risk of all-cause mortality than those who never or almost never consumed coffee.<\/p>\n
There was a 22 per cent lower risk of all-cause mortality for each two additional cups of coffee per day.<\/p>\n
“Coffee is one of the most widely consumed beverages around the world,” said Adela Navarro, a cardiologist at the Hospital de Navarra in Spain.<\/p>\n
“We found an inverse association between drinking coffee and the risk of all-cause mortality, particularly in people aged 45 years and above. This may be due to a stronger protective association among older participants,” Navarro added.<\/p>\n
The results were presented at the European Society of Cardiology Congress in Barcelona.<\/p>\n
Previous studies have showed that drinking up to five cups of coffee a day may halve the risk of developing the most common form of primary liver cancer and over three cups a day may halve prostrate cancer risk.<\/p>\n
Coffee contains a number of compounds which interact with the body, including caffeine, diterpenes and antioxidants, and scientists believe some of these have a protective impact.<\/p>\n
Coffee is also rich in antioxidants, anti-inflammatory, anticarcinogenic and other beneficial properties which may lower the risk of chronic liver disease and liver cancer, the researchers explained.<\/p>\n
For the study, the team included 19,896 participants, whose average age at enrolment was 37.7 years old.<\/p>\n
During the 10-year period follow-up, 337 participants died.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
