If you work for hours sitting in front of a laptop, a cup of coffee can be nectar for you.
Is coffee beneficial for health? The answer to this question is not the same for everyone. According to new research, a cup of coffee can add many years to your life. If you work for hours sitting down, incorporating a regular cup of coffee into your daily routine can be a boon. Non-coffee drinkers who sit for six hours or more a day have a 60 percent higher risk of death than those who drink coffee and sit for 6 hours. This claim was made in research published in a journal called Biomed Central (BMC) Public Health. The study was conducted in the United States with more than 10,000 adults for up to 13 years by researchers at the School of Public Health, Soochow University School of Medicine in China. They found a higher risk of dying among sedentary drinkers who don't drink coffee. This risk is greatly reduced in those who drink coffee. The researchers also found that in people who worked sitting for at least 6 hours a day but drank coffee, the risk of death was 24 percent lower in those people.
The researchers wrote in their study: “The benefits of coffee consumption in improving overall survival in adults compared to sedentary behavior are multiple. “Coffee consumption appears to reduce the risk of metabolic problems that can worsen inflammation, which in turn increases the risk of death from sedentary behavior.”
The person who consumed the most coffee had a 33 percent lower risk of death compared to non-coffee drinkers. The results were consistent with previous studies, which found a link between drinking more coffee and a lower risk of dying from any cause, including heart disease.
Many compounds present in coffee, including caffeine and polyphenols, are natural anti-inflammatories. This means that if you drink coffee, it reduces inflammation in your body. Researchers said there is no clear information on how coffee reduces the risk of death and what changes it causes in the body. Researchers also found that those who sit more than eight hours a day increase the risk of death from any reason by 40 percent. In these people, the risk of dying from a heart attack increases by approximately 80 percent.
