Drinking coffee could add almost 2 years of healthy living to one's life, says new study
Deccan ChronicleNew Delhi: Drinking coffee could add almost two years of healthy living to one's life, according to a new study that reviewed previously published research. The study, published in Ageing Research Reviews journal, found that the benefits of drinking coffee "correspond to an average increase in healthspan of 1.8 years." Although older adults are traditionally advised to reduce or avoid coffee, the authors suggested that clinical guidelines should now be re-evaluated in light of compelling scientific evidence supporting coffee's role in healthy ageing. "Traditional clinical recommendations have at times overlooked coffee's role in healthy aging, but with a strong research base around how regular consumption can potentially reduce some of the most chronic diseases facing society, it is likely time to re-evaluate these," Cunha said.
