This is so weird I had to report it. According to the Detroit Free Press, drinking up to six cups of coffee every day could lower your odds of kicking the bucket.
You read that correctly: Drinking half-a-dozen cups o' Joe could help you live longer.
The main reason? It cuts your risk of dying from heart disease, as a study from the Harvard School of Public Health found.
Coffee addicts won't lower their risk of dying from cancer, but preventing heart disease is a start. The study looked at coffee-drinking habits of 41,736 men and 86,216 women with no history of cardiovascular disease or cancer. The women were watched for 24 years, the men followed for 18.
Researchers learned more coffee can actually lower risk of death, explained by lower levels of cardiovascular disease deaths. Women who drank two to three cups per day lowered their risks of dying by a whopping 25 per cent compared to those who do not drink coffee.
An interesting observation in the world of science and health. The only drawbacks: You spend your life in the bathroom dealing with the diuretic side effects of the drink, you vibrate in your office chair for eight hours a day and sleep less than a U.S. political candidate during election season. At least you'll have more years to enjoy those things.
