Are you a coffee lover? If so, you’ll be pleased to know that drinking coffee has been linked to various health benefits, according to researchers highlighted in a recent study reported by Science Alert. They found that regular coffee consumption, especially among those who work long hours, can reduce the risk of health complications. Over 10,000 participants in the study who drank coffee during their work hours showed lower risks of premature death compared to non-coffee drinkers.
The study emphasizes that coffee not only increases activity levels but also lowers the incidence of heart disease. Those who consumed more than two cups of coffee daily were found to have a lower mortality risk than their sedentary counterparts. This aligns with previous research linking coffee intake to reduced risks of type 2 diabetes and heart disease, especially decaffeinated coffee, which is rich in antioxidants that boost metabolism and reduce inflammation.
Moreover, coffee has been shown to alleviate stress and anxiety, thanks to caffeine’s impact on mood-regulating hormones. Regular consumption of one to two cups of coffee daily has also been associated with improved heart health and a reduced risk of stroke and heart disease. Additionally, black coffee, with its low calorie content, complements weight loss efforts when combined with regular exercise. It also supports liver health by reducing enzyme levels and improving insulin regulation, thereby lowering the risk of liver diseases like hepatitis and cirrhosis, and decreasing the likelihood of diabetes.
