Drinking coffee in moderation can help lower the risk of cardiometabolic diseases like type 2 diabetes, coronary heart disease, and stroke. A recent study shows that consuming three cups of coffee a day, or about 200-300 mg of caffeine, is beneficial for heart health. The research analyzed data from over 172,000 participants in the UK Biobank who had no existing cardiometabolic diseases.
• Moderate coffee drinkers saw a 48.1% reduced risk of developing new cardiometabolic conditions compared to non-drinkers.
• Those consuming 200-300 mg of caffeine daily had a 40.7% lower risk.
• The study also found that all caffeine levels showed a protective effect against developing cardiometabolic diseases.
• Drinking coffee, tea, and caffeine can help prevent the progression from being disease-free to developing multiple conditions.
Encouraging moderate coffee consumption can have significant health benefits. This research supports the idea that enjoying coffee can be part of a healthy lifestyle, helping to prevent serious health issues.
