In addition to refreshing, moderate coffee consumption also helps reduce the risk of premature death. Spanish researchers found that drinking four cups of coffee a day reduced the risk of premature death by up to two-thirds.

The researchers, who reported at the European Society of Cardiology conference, reached their conclusions after following 20,000 people aged 25 to 60 for 10 years. At the start of the study, the average age of these people was 37. The researchers calculated that their chances of dying within 10 years were 1. 7%。Researchers found that

Compared with non-coffee drinkers or casual coffee drinkers, those who drank two cups of coffee a day had an average 22 percent lower risk of death, and those over 45 had an average 30 percent lower risk of death; those who drank four cups of coffee a day had an average 64 percent lower risk of death, or less than 1 percent chance of dying within 10 years.

The British "Daily Mail" quoted study leader and cardiologist Adela Navarro as saying that in this study, the leading cause of death for the subjects was cancer, followed by heart disease. They believe that the reason why coffee can reduce the risk of premature death is that the polyphenols in coffee not only benefit the heart, but also have anti-inflammatory effects, which can help prevent cancer.

However, she said, the study's statistics were not detailed enough to conclude that coffee drinking was the only reason for the reduced risk of premature death. In addition, it is not advisable to consume too much caffeine every day.

The European Food Safety Authority issued guidelines in 2015 saying that caffeine intake limit is 400 mg a day, and excessive intake can lead to a series of health problems such as anxiety and heart disease. In addition to coffee, tea, functional drinks, chocolate and other foods also contain caffeine.
