A new review paper finds that regular coffee consumption adds an average of 1.8 years to a person's life, with benefits seen in both men and women. The study suggests that moderate coffee consumption can play a role in mitigating against chronic diseases and promoting healthy aging.
A new scientific review published in Sustainable Production and Consumption explores how to accurately assess the carbon footprint of coffee farming. The study provides guidance on measuring green coffee's environmental impact, including identifying representative measurements and applying land use change modeling.
New research reveals coffee consumption may help reduce the risk of type 2 diabetes by lowering inflammatory biomarkers in the body. A study published in Clinical Nutrition found that a one cup per day increase in coffee consumption was associated with a 4-6% lower risk of T2D.
A new study by the University of Coimbra found that higher coffee intake is associated with reduced NAFLD severity in overweight people with T2D. Caffeine and polyphenols in coffee may help alleviate liver fibrosis and improve glucose homeostasis.
A new survey by the European Federation of Dietitians supports moderate coffee consumption as having clear health benefits, including improved alertness and sports performance. The study involved 585 dietitians from across 26 European countries.
A new review suggests that moderate coffee consumption can stimulate digestive processes and help movement through the colon. The study also found a possible association between coffee consumption and reduced risk of gallstones and certain liver diseases. However, further research is needed to confirm these findings.
A new survey found that nearly two-thirds of adults expressed concern about worsening moods during Lockdowns, with coffee helping to lift almost half of their negative moods. The study also revealed that lockdowns had a significant impact on mental health, with twice as many people concerned about mental health than physical inactivity.
The report highlights the impact of coffee consumption timing on sleep quality, suggesting that limiting caffeine intake six hours prior to bedtime can help lessen its effects. For those sensitive to caffeine, this approach may improve overall sleep outcomes.
A new study suggests that moderate coffee intake can help mitigate some repercussions of reduced sleep over a few days. The study found that caffeinated coffee drinkers showed better vigilance, alertness, and reaction-time compared to decaffeinated coffee drinkers during the initial three-to-four days of restricted sleep.
A new report from the Institute for Scientific Information on Coffee suggests that coffee consumption may have beneficial effects on digestion, including reducing the risk of gallstone disease and pancreatitis. Moderate coffee consumption is also associated with improved gut motility and supporting beneficial gut bacteria.
Research suggests that moderate coffee consumption is associated with a reduced risk of metabolic syndrome (MetS), a condition characterized by insulin resistance, hypertension, and obesity. The study highlights the potential role of polyphenols in coffee in reducing MetS risk.
A new study has found that drinking caffeinated coffee improves speed of cycling in both men and women. The study, which investigated the effect of coffee ingestion on 5km cycling time trial performance, revealed that coffee had a positive impact on performance in both sexes.
A new report by ISIC suggests that polyphenols found in coffee may reduce cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk. Key research findings indicate that consuming polyphenols can alter cholesterol absorption and processing, as well as reduce inflammation, leading to a lower CVD prevalence.
Research suggests moderate coffee consumption may reduce type 2 diabetes risk by 25%, with potential mechanisms including antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects. The Institute for Scientific Information on Coffee reports findings from a meta-analysis of 30 studies involving over 1.1 million participants.
A new report suggests that moderate coffee consumption may reduce the risk of chronic liver disease by up to 65%. The study found an inverse association between coffee consumption and risk of liver cancer, with a potential risk reduction of 25-70%.
A survey of European workers found that workplace coffee drinking habits are shaped by time, taste, and desire for productivity. Workers reported that coffee consumption was linked to improved alertness and attention, with 56% saying it helped them feel more alert.
A new report from the Institute for Scientific Information on Coffee highlights the potential role of coffee consumption in reducing age-related cognitive decline and neurodegenerative diseases. Moderate coffee intake (3-5 cups per day) may provide protection against cognitive decline, with caffeine likely playing a key role.
Research highlights the potential role of moderate coffee consumption in reducing cardiovascular disease (CVD) mortality risk. Key findings include an estimated 21% reduction in CVD mortality risk at a daily intake of 3-5 cups, as well as associations with lower type 2 diabetes risk and improved lifestyle habits.
Recent research suggests that moderate coffee consumption may lower the risk of Alzheimer's disease by up to 20 percent. This protective effect is attributed to compounds such as polyphenols, which are also found in high quantities in coffee.
Despite having a family history of CVD, individuals are unlikely to adopt healthier habits, with those reporting a family history showing higher heart ages and poorer diet scores. Small lifestyle changes can still significantly reduce CVD risk, suggesting alternative strategies for behavior change.
Researchers found that patients who received their CVD risk expressed as 'Heart Age' demonstrated significant decreases in risk scores and were more likely to adopt healthier lifestyles. This study supports the effectiveness of the Heart Age tool in reducing cardiovascular disease risk.
A recent study by researchers at the University of Birmingham found no evidence of dehydration in regular coffee drinkers who consumed moderate amounts of coffee. The study measured hydration status using various methods and found that coffee consumption contributed to daily fluid requirements, just like other fluids.
Regular, moderate coffee consumption decreases an individual's risk of developing type 2 diabetes. Key research findings include a 25% lower risk for consuming three to four cups per day compared to none or less than two cups.
Recent studies suggest that moderate habitual coffee consumption is unlikely to adversely affect cardiovascular health. Higher green tea and coffee consumption has been inversely associated with the risk of CVD and stroke in the general population. Moderate coffee consumption may also have a favorable effect on plasma cholesterol levels.
Researchers at Araclon Biotech have developed a blood test to measure beta amyloid peptides, which are associated with Alzheimer's disease. The test shows a high level of association between peptide levels and the disease, suggesting a potential biomarker for early diagnosis.
