Coffee Prolongs Office Workers’ Lives: A Chinese Study Supported by Global Research
A recent study conducted by scientists at Suzhou University in China has confirmed that drinking 2-3 cups of coffee daily can reduce the risk of death from serious diseases among office workers by up to 33%. The study involved over 10,000 volunteers who were monitored over a period of ten years. Participants provided information about their sitting habits, exercise routines, and the number of cups of coffee they consumed daily.
Health Benefits of Coffee
The study showed that office workers who spent at least 6 hours daily sitting and drank 2-3 cups of coffee daily had a reduced risk of death from sedentary lifestyle-related diseases such as diabetes, heart disease, and cancer. This is attributed to the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties of coffee.
Support from Global Research
These findings are supported by numerous other studies conducted in the United States and Europe. For instance, a study involving half a million people in Britain found that coffee consumption was associated with a 14% lower risk of death for those who drank up to eight cups daily (Harvard School of Public Health). Additionally, research conducted in ten European countries confirmed that coffee improves liver function and helps control blood glucose levels (Imperial College London).
Expert Recommendations
Renowned Russian physician Dr. Alexander Myasnikov praised the health benefits of coffee, noting that it is part of the cancer chemoprevention program and helps prevent the development of liver cancer. He also highlighted its role in reducing the risks of arthritis, diabetes, and heart rhythm disorders (livescience.com) (ScienceDaily).
Conclusion
These combined findings suggest that moderate coffee consumption can have significant positive health effects, especially in mitigating the negative impacts of a sedentary lifestyle. However, researchers emphasize the importance of consuming coffee in moderation as part of a balanced diet and healthy lifestyle.
