One of the most debated topics in the world is undoubtedly how coffee consumption affects human health. While experts recommend consuming 1 cup of coffee every day, there are various opinions that more than 1 cup of coffee can negatively affect the heart. So, does regular coffee drink increase human lifespan?
According to new research, coffee consumption can extend human life
While studies suggest that there is a relationship between regular coffee consumption and a reduced risk of death, the findings also indicate that coffee consumption should not be limited to 1 cup.
The issue, evaluated by researchers at Southern Medical University in China, was published in the Annals of Internal Medicine. Looking at data from UK Biobank, a long-running research project that monitors the health of UK residents throughout the study, the researchers detailed people’s dietary habits, including coffee consumption.
Compared to people who don’t drink coffee, coffee drinkers (4 to 5 cups a day or more) are less likely to die from common causes, the researchers say. The data, which is based on the results of 7 years of follow-up on the people participating in the research, of course, were compiled by taking into account other factors such as the person’s lifestyle.
On the other hand, observing that those who consume unsweetened coffee have a lower risk of death than those who consume coffee sweetened with sugar, researchers also underline that sweeteners, especially instead of natural sugar, increase the risk level. So if you like to drink your coffee with sugar, you may want to avoid sweeteners. In fact, if possible, you should drink your coffee without sugar…
While this type of research has been handled by many scientists over time, it was stated in one of the similar studies that coffee consumption is beneficial for human health. According to this study, it was stated that coffee consumption has a preventive / delaying effect on heart failure and liver diseases, and helps to reduce the risk of premature death.
