Discover how many cups of coffee should drink each day to live the longest

According to SciTech Daily, The results are drawn from detailed health data of nearly half a million people with a follow-up period of at least 10 years, collected by the famous UK data bank Biobank.

Professor Peter M. Kistler, School of Cardiac Arrhythmia Research Group at Alferd Hospital and Barker Heart Institute in Melbourne (Australia), lead author of the study, said the work aimed to identify two issues: quantity: optimal coffee for heart health and longevity; The truth about whether coffee triggers and worsens cardiovascular problems.

Study participants were divided into several groups: no coffee drinkers, less than 1 cup per day, 1 drink per day, 2-3 cups per day, 4-5 cups per day, and more than 5 drinks cups/day. They were assessed in detail for cardiovascular problems including arrhythmia, coronary heart disease, heart failure, stroke… and the risk of all-cause mortality.

The first study evaluated 382,535 people who had never been found to have cardiovascular problems, with an average age of 57. The authors found that the group that drank two to three cups a day, had an increased risk. development of cardiovascular problems during the 10 years of follow-up was lowest, 10-15% lower than in the rest of the groups. Their risk of all-cause mortality was also lowest.

Particularly, the risk of stroke or heart-related death was lowest in the group that drank 1 cup of coffee per day. However, overall, the group that drank 2-3 cups/day still benefited the most, possibly because like many previous studies, coffee not only protects the heart, but also helps prevent and reduce the risk of many diseases. other disease.

The second study included 34,279 identified with some form of primary cardiovascular disease. The results showed that not only did coffee not increase the severity of arrhythmia problems such as atrial fibrillation or flutter, but it also helped them live longer.

With 1 cup of coffee/day, people with atrial fibrillation had a 20% lower risk of death over 10 years of follow-up; while the group that drank 2-3 cups was still the group with the lowest risk of all-cause mortality.

“There is a range of mechanisms by which coffee may reduce mortality and have beneficial effects on cardiovascular disease. Coffee drinkers should feel reassured that they can continue to enjoy drink coffee even if they have heart disease” – Professor Kristler confirmed.

According to Professor Kristler, this particular impact comes from coffee’s approximately 100 bioactive ingredients, which can help reduce oxidative stress and inflammation, improve insulin sensitivity, boost metabolism, and inhibit fat absorption by the intestines and the prevention of receptors associated with abnormal heart rhythms.
