DRINKING COFFEE MAY ADD YEARS TO YOUR LIFE

Drinking a cup of coffee
can do more than perk
you up in the morning. It
just might help you live
a longer, healthier life.
Researchers have found
a strong association
between coffee
consumption and a
lower risk of dying from
diabetes, heart disease,
respiratory disease, and
other conditions,
reports the September
2012 Harvard Health
Letter.
A study of more than
400,000 older men and
women found that
drinking two or more
cups of coffee each day
equated to a 10%
reduction in deaths
from all causes for men
and a 15% reduction for
women, when
compared to people
who didn't drink coffee.
It's possible that
certain compounds in
coffee may have
multiple health benefits.
For example, the
compound chlorogenic
acid functions as an
antioxidant, which helps
fight against cell injury.
"I think the evidence
that coffee is a healthy
beverage is pretty
substantial now; it
seems to be beneficial
across the board,” says
Dr. Eric Rimm, associate
professor of
epidemiology and
nutrition at the Harvard
School of Public Health. CHECK BACK FOR MORE UPDATES!!. If you see this post so informative and educative, then Share!
