There are many known health

benefits from regular and healthy

organic coffee.

But, do you get a longer life with

coffee? That may, in fact, be the case.



The Washington Post reports on

a New England Journal of

Medicine report noting that coffee

can lengthen your life!

The headlines about coffee’s impact

on your health seem to change as

quickly as the time it takes to drink a

cup.



Should you savor every drop or try to

cut down? Here’s what we know right

now:



True, coffee drinkers are more likely

than nondrinkers to smoke, eat red

meat, skimp on exercise and have

other life-shortening habits, according

to a large 2012 study published in the

New England Journal of Medicine.



But even after adjusting for such

factors, they found that people age 50

to 71 who drank at least one cup of

coffee per day had a lower risk than

nondrinkers of dying from diabetes,

heart disease or other health

problems when followed for more than

a decade.



That may be due to beneficial

compounds in coffee such as

antioxidants – which might ward off

disease – and not caffeine. Decaf

drinkers had the same results.



We already knew that people who

drink three cups of coffee a day or

more have half the risk of developing

Type II Diabetes compared to folks

who do not drink coffee.



Now researchers have demonstrated

that the risk of dying from diabetes is

also reduced in coffee drinkers.



Happiness with Coffee



Drinking coffee reduces the risk of

depression.

Drinking coffee reduces the risk of

depression according to recently

published research.



An article published in volume 171 of

the Archives of Internal Medicine by a

team of Harvard researchers showed

a lower incidence of depression in

women who reported drinking at least

four cups of coffee a day as

compared to women who reported

drinking a cup of caffeinated coffee or

less each day.



The difference was a twenty percent

reduction in incidence of new

depression in the high end coffee

drinkers.



The study included 50,000 women

who were free of depression at the

start of the study and subjects were

followed over a decade.



The same researcher demonstrated

years ago that male coffee drinkers

(five cups a day) have a reduced risk

of developing Parkinson’s Disease.



Not only do you get a longer life with

coffee buy you get to be happier as

well.



But Is Coffee Addicting?



Fox News asks if drinking too much

coffee is addicting or harming your

health.

Ever wonder what gives you that jolt

moments after your first sip? It’s a

surge of cortisol and adrenaline.



Coffee taps your adrenals to release

these stress hormones, so by drinking

a cup of java (or a can of soda, as any

type of caffeine does this) you are

triggering the same physical response

your body would have to an imminent

danger.



As coffee lovers know, this rush

makes you more focused and can

become addictive.



While consuming coffee can be great

before a job interview or high-stakes

presentation, daily use can put you

into a chronically high-cortisol state.



In fact, a study out of the University of

Oklahoma revealed that drinking

coffee while under even mild stress

causes cortisol levels to rise higher

and stay high- long past the stressful

event.



The article goes on to discuss other

options other than coffee.



But, considering that you get a longer

life with coffee and a happier one as

well, what is the point!



Drink coffee. Enjoy coffee. Live long

and be happy!
