A new study shows that coffee consumption lowers the risk of chronic diseases in women and promotes healthy aging.
Coffee protects women from dementia: This is how their brain stays fit!
A new long -term study has produced impressive results on coffee consumption and its positive effect on the healthy aging of women. The study was presented at the Congress of the American Society for Nutrition in Orlando. Scientists analyzed data from over 47,000 nurses from the "Nurses’ Health Study "that have been collected since 1986
The results show that women who consume about 315 milligrams of caffeine every day, which correspond to about 2 to 4 cups of coffee, cut significantly better in physical, mental and mental health than those who drink less coffee. In particular, the likelihood of staying fit and healthy in old age is increasing up to 5 percent per additional cup of coffee per day, up to a maximum of five cups.
healthy aging and the role of coffee
The researchers of Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health found that coffee consumption is also associated with a greater probability for healthy aging. Healthy aging is defined here as the age of 70 years or older, free of eleven chronic diseases, as well as the preservation of physical functionality and good mental health. Women between the ages of 45 and 60 in particular showed positive effects in the event of a consumption of 1 to 2.5 cups of caffeine coffee every day.
In contrast, Cola consumption shows a negative correlation with healthy aging. According to the results of this study, the risk of healthy aging is 20 to 26 percent less. This underlines the need to look at the type of caffeinated drinks that are consumed because not everyone is equally advantageous.
The biological mechanisms behind the positive effects
coffee contains bioactive compounds such as chlorogenic acid and micronutrients that have an anti -inflammatory effect, protect blood vessels and improve sugar metabolism. However, these positive effects can only be detected for coffee -based coffee. Caffeine -free coffee and tea could not show any positive results in this regard.
The main author of the study, Sara Mahdavi, emphasizes that moderate coffee consumption should not be understood as a universal recommendation for everyone. This is particularly relevant for women who are subject to hormonal changes, such as during menopause or pregnancy, since caffeine can remain in the body longer in these phases. In addition, people with high blood pressure, heart diseases, anxiety and sleep disorders should monitor their coffee consumption. Coffee should never replace healthy habits such as balanced diet, movement and sufficient sleep.
In summary, it can be said that moderate consumption of caffeinated coffee can apparently help to increase quality of life and health in old age. This connection helps to illuminate the importance of coffee in nutrition, especially for women.For interested readers, further details on this fascinating study are available: Österreichische Nachrichten, KURIER, [Tages-Anzeiger] (https://www.tagesanzeiger.ch/bis-zu-drei-tassen-kaffee-am-tag-sachen-fuer-gesunde- Altern-240612554419).
