Coffee Consumption in Midlife Linked to Healthier Aging in Women
A study shows that drinking caffeinated coffee in your 40s and 50s might help women live longer and stay healthy.
Researchers followed nearly 50,000 women for 30 years.
Women who drank about three small cups of coffee daily were more likely to age well.
They were healthier, with good physical and mental function, and less prone to diseases.
However, decaf coffee and tea didn't have the same effect, and cola was linked to poorer aging.
The study suggests coffee could be beneficial, but it's not a cure-all.
It is important to consider factors such as exercise, diet, and not smoking as the key factors for healthy aging.
A study found that coffee consumption in women aged 40-50s may lead to healthier aging.
The research followed nearly 50,000 women for three decades.
Drinking caffeinated coffee was linked to healthy aging, unlike decaf or tea.
Women in the study's 'healthy ager' group drank about 315mg of caffeine daily.
Cola consumption was associated with a lower chance of healthy aging.
