Study Finds Daily Coffee Consumption May Extend Lifespan by Nearly Two Years

Research from Portugal highlights coffee's potential to reduce risks of chronic diseases and promote healthy aging.

A comprehensive review of 85 studies suggests that drinking three cups of coffee daily could add approximately 1.8 years to an individual's lifespan.
The study, conducted by the University of Coimbra in Portugal, analyzed data from diverse populations across Europe, the Americas, Asia, and Australia.
Moderate coffee consumption was linked to reduced risks of age-related diseases, including heart and lung disease, stroke, some cancers, diabetes, and dementia.
Researchers emphasized coffee's role in preserving muscular, cardiovascular, mental, and immune system functions as people age.
Experts caution that while coffee offers health benefits, moderation is key, as excessive consumption can lead to negative effects like insomnia or digestive issues.
