Drinking coffee may lead to a healthier heart and lower risk of cardiac death, according to recent research. A study involving over 46,000 participants found that even one cup of black coffee daily can significantly reduce the risk of heart-related issues. The findings suggest that coffee lovers can enjoy health benefits, particularly if they consume it without added sugars or creams.
• Drinking one cup of black coffee daily reduces cardiovascular death risk by 16%.
• Two to three cups daily can lower the risk by 17%.
• Those who add sweeteners or high-fat dairy do not see the same benefits.
• The study tracked participants for 11 years, highlighting the importance of coffee consumption for heart health.
Understanding the link between coffee and heart health is crucial, especially as heart disease rates rise among younger adults. With millions affected by heart conditions, promoting moderate coffee consumption could be a simple way to improve public health outcomes. However, moderation is key, as excessive coffee can have negative effects.
