Regular coffee consumption may help women age better, according to a recent study involving nearly 50,000 participants. The research suggests that drinking caffeinated coffee supports both mental and physical health as women grow older. Presented at the American Society for Nutrition meeting, the findings highlight the unique benefits of coffee compared to other caffeine sources like tea or soda.
• The study tracked 47,513 women over 30 years, collecting extensive dietary and health data.
• About 3,706 women were identified as "healthy agers," meaning they lived past 70 without major chronic diseases and maintained good mental and physical health.
• Participants deemed "healthy agers" consumed approximately 315 mg of caffeine daily, primarily from coffee.
• Soda consumption was linked to a lower chance of healthy aging, indicating that not all caffeine sources are beneficial.
This research emphasizes the importance of dietary choices in promoting longevity and overall well-being. Coffee could be a simple yet effective way for women to enhance their health as they age.
