\"\"<\/span><\/p>

Okay, so we\u2019ve heard that consuming a handful of nuts a day could make you live longer<\/strong><\/a>, and a study has even found that people who consume spicy food could prolong their lifespan<\/strong><\/a>\u2026 so, what else has the ability to give us a few more years on the clock? Well good news for coffee drinkers, because despite warnings from health professionals, scientists have recently relaunched the debate on the benefits of caffeine, and they\u2019ve found some startling results.<\/p>

Drinking several cups of coffee a day<\/strong> could greatly reduce the risk of developing diseases as well as increase life expectancy. This is demonstrated by the results of two new studies done in Europe and the United States, published in the American Journal\u00a0Annals Of Internal Medicine<\/em><\/span><\/a>.<\/p>

3 Cups of coffee a day for higher life expectancy<\/span> <\/h2>

\"\"<\/span><\/p>

The first study, conducted in 10 European countries under the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition (EPIC)<\/span><\/a>\u00a0and performed on a panel of more than 521,000 people aged 35 and older, showed that lifespans were longer among people consuming three cups of coffee per day, decaffeinated or not. Marc Gunter of the International Agency for Research on Cancer explains,\u00a0\u201cWe found that higher coffee consumption was associated with a lower risk of death from any cause, and specifically for circulatory diseases, and digestive diseases\u201d.<\/em><\/p>

For researchers, this is due in part to the high antioxidant content <\/a>in coffee.<\/p>

Coffee reduces the risk of cardiovascular disease<\/span> <\/h2>

\"\"<\/span><\/p>

The second study conducted in the United States on more than 185,000 people, aged 45 to 75 years, found that increased coffee consumption reduced the mortality rate resulting from cardiovascular diseases<\/a>, respiratory and kidney diseases, and also diabetes.<\/p>

However, though the results from this research are quite positive, the researchers point out that both studies are observational and not experimental.\u00a0Further research should be conducted in order to prove a causal link between caffeine and the the human lifespan. Of course, it probably couldn\u2019t hurt to amp up the coffee if you aren\u2019t yet drinking the joe on a regular basis!<\/p>
