Sippin ‘Pretty!
Research suggests that consuming moderate amounts of caffeine can help you live longer. Harvard’s scientists wanted to see if the caffeine source matters: they kept track of coffee, tea, glue and decaying more than 47,000 nurses.
During the 30 -year monitoring period, about 3,700 women fulfilled the criteria for healthy aging. This was defined as living in 70, free of 11 great chronic diseases and without problems with physical function, mental health, cognition or memory.
“The findings suggest that caffeine coffee (not tea or decaf) can exclusively support the aging trajectories that retain mental and physical function,” said Sara Mahdavi, a postdoctoral companion at Harvard Th Chan School of Public Health.
From 45 to 60 years old, participants of the female study usually consume an average of 315 milligrams of caffeine daily.
Each additional glass or Joe beyond 80 milligrams a day was related to 2% to 5% of the largest probabilities of healthy aging, up to 2.5 cups.
Experts generally recommend no more than 400 milligrams of caffeine a day, around four Java cups.
“Moderate coffee intake can offer some protective benefits when combined with other healthy behaviors such as regular exercise, a healthy diet and avoiding smoking,” said Mahdavi.
“Although this study adds to previous evidence that they suggest that coffee intake may be related to healthy aging,” he added, “the advantages of coffee are relatively modest compared to the impact of healthy lifestyle habits and justifying later research.”
A habit worth nixing? Soda. The researchers linked each small additional glass of glue to 20% to 26% of lower probabilities of healthy aging.
Sodas are rich in calories and sugar, contributing potential to weight gain and obesity and increasing the risk of high blood pressure, high cholesterol and heart disease.
Mahdavi’s preliminary findings took into account other factors that may influence healthy aging, such as weight, smoking, alcohol consumption, physical activity, education level and protein intake.
“Our study has several strengths,” Mahdavi said. “In addition to the sample size and 30 years of follow -up, various aspects of longevity and healthy aging were evaluated, as well as very complete information on the nutritional and life habits that were collected every four years after the study of the study.”
Mahdavi presented the research on Monday in Nutrition 2025, the annual meeting of the American Society for Nutrition.
His team plans to investigate how certain coffee substances influence the biological signs of the body related to aging at the genetic and metabolic level.
Coffee is rich in antioxidants, which can improve brain function. It has also been shown to increase alert, weight management aid, increase mood and reduce the risk of type 2 diabetes and heart disease.
But Mahdavi noted that more caffeine is not always better, especially if someone has less tolerance for caffeine or a genetic susceptibility to the slowest caffeine metabolism.
Caffeine dough disadvantages include insomnia, heart palpitations, digestive problems and dependency.
