Drinking coffee helps you live longer.

Drinking 3-5 cups of coffee a day helps people live longer by reducing the risk of cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and combating depression.

If you enjoy drinking coffee, this is definitely good news. Men's Health reports that a study from Harvard University (USA) shows that people who habitually drink coffee every day tend to live longer.

In the study, 200,000 volunteers were followed for 28 years. Excluding the smoking group, scientists found that those who drank 3-5 cups of coffee per day reduced their risk of heart attack by 19%, diabetes by 24%, and premature death by 15%. Lead author Dr. Frank Hu suggested that chlorogenic acid in coffee may be the cause of this phenomenon due to its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects.

In addition, Dr. Hu stated that caffeine stimulates dopamine production and enhances neurotransmission, helping people effectively combat Parkinson's disease and depression.

According to the doctor, there is currently no recommended amount of coffee to drink for everyone. Three to five cups is considered ideal, but the benefits of coffee are still present if you drink slightly more or less.
