HOLIDAY NEWS - Drinking coffee in the morning is not only useful for eliminating sleepiness. Apart from its energizing effects, coffee apparently has a multitude of health benefits, especially if consumed regularly.
Drinking coffee regularly has even been linked to longevity. Recent research has found that coffee drinkers are less likely to die from several of the leading causes of death in women: coronary heart disease, stroke, diabetes and kidney disease.
The study published in the Annals of Internal Medicine analyzed data on coffee consumption from more than 170,000 people (average age 56 years) from the United Kingdom who did not have cancer or cardiovascular disease at the start of the study.
The researchers tracked participants for an average of seven years. They also take into account factors such as lifestyle, diet, gender, age, and ethnicity.
People who drank 1.5 to 3.5 cups of coffee daily, even with an added teaspoon of sugar per cup, were up to 30 percent less likely to die during the study period than those who didn't drink coffee.
Additionally, a European Journal of Preventive Cardiology study found two to three cups of coffee a day were associated with increased longevity and a lower risk of cardiovascular disease, based on an analysis of the habits of nearly 450,000 people.
"Ground, instant and decaffeinated coffee were associated with equivalent reductions in the incidence of cardiovascular disease and death from cardiovascular disease or any cause," said study author Peter Kistler, quoted by NBC News.
This study adds to previous research that suggests that coffee, especially a few cups a day, has some real health benefits.
One 2018 study found that over a 10-year study period, coffee drinkers were 10% to 15% less likely to die than those who didn't drink coffee. Another study, published in 2021, found that drinking three to four cups of coffee, regardless of whether it contained caffeine, reduced the risk of developing and dying from chronic liver disease.

HOLIDAY NEWS - Minum kopi di pagi hari ternyata tidak hanya bermanfaat untuk menghilangkan kantuk. Selain efeknya yang memberi energi, kopi ternyata punya segudang manfaat kesehatan, terlebih jika rutin dikonsumsi.
Rutin minum kopi bahkan dikaitkan dengan umur panjang. Penelitian terkini menemukan bahwa peminum kopi lebih kecil kemungkinannya meninggal akibat beberapa penyebab utama kematian pada wanita: penyakit jantung koroner, stroke, diabetes, dan penyakit ginjal.
Studi yang dipublikasikan di Annals of Internal Medicine menganalisis data tentang konsumsi kopi dari lebih dari 170.000 orang (usia rata-rata 56 tahun) dari Inggris Raya yang tidak mengidap kanker atau penyakit kardiovaskular pada awal studi.
Para peneliti melacak peserta selama rata-rata tujuh tahun. Mereka juga memperhitungkan faktor-faktor seperti gaya hidup, pola makan, jenis kelamin, usia, dan etnis.
Orang yang minum 1,5 hingga 3,5 cangkir kopi setiap hari, bahkan dengan tambahan satu sendok teh gula per cangkir, memiliki kemungkinan hingga 30 persen lebih kecil untuk meninggal selama periode studi dibandingkan mereka yang tidak minum kopi.
Selain itu penelitian European Journal of Preventive Cardiology menemukan dua hingga tiga cangkir kopi sehari dikaitkan dengan peningkatan umur panjang dan risiko penyakit kardiovaskular yang lebih rendah, berdasarkan analisis terhadap kebiasaan hampir 450.000 orang.
"Kopi bubuk, instan, dan tanpa kafein dikaitkan dengan penurunan yang setara dalam kejadian penyakit kardiovaskular dan kematian akibat penyakit kardiovaskular atau penyebab apa pun," kata penulis studi Peter Kistler dikutip dari NBC News.
Studi ini melengkapi penelitian sebelumnya yang menyebutkan bahwa kopi, terutama beberapa cangkir sehari, memiliki beberapa manfaat kesehatan yang nyata.
Satu studi tahun 2018 menemukan bahwa selama periode studi 10 tahun, peminum kopi memiliki kemungkinan 10% hingga 15% lebih kecil untuk meninggal dibandingkan mereka yang tidak minum kopi. Studi lain, yang diterbitkan tahun 2021, menemukan bahwa minum tiga hingga empat cangkir kopi, terlepas dari apakah kopi tersebut mengandung kafein, mengurangi risiko terkena dan meninggal akibat penyakit hati kronis.
