A Harvard study shows the right dose of coffee can help women stay healthy as they get older

Thekabarnews.com—Drinking the right amount of coffee may help women age better and boost energy. Dr. Sarah Mahdavi is a researcher at Harvard University’s Harvard School of Public Health. She performed a long-term study that indicated that women who drink around three small cups of coffee a day (about 315 mg of caffeine) tend to age more healthily.

The study examined data gathered over 30 years from approximately 50,000 middle-aged women. The results indicate that regular coffee use in modest quantities may enhance physical strength, mental concentration, and psychological well-being as women age.

The study defined healthy aging as attaining the age of 70 or older while preserving optimal physical, cognitive, and behavioral health. It also means staying devoid of 11 significant chronic diseases. Heart disease, stroke, type 2 diabetes, and cancer are some of these.

“This discovery shows that caffeinated coffee, rather than tea or decaffeinated coffee, may assist in encouraging aging patterns that keep both mental and physical function in women,” Mahdavi said, as quoted in Time Magazine.

Mahdavi, on the other hand, stressed that drinking coffee alone will not lead to premature aging. She said that lifestyle choices have a much bigger impact on long-term health consequences.

“Regular exercise, a balanced and healthy diet, and not smoking are still important parts of healthy aging,” she remarked.

Experts hold the belief that moderate coffee consumption can be beneficial, but it should not be viewed as a panacea. It should be part of a balanced lifestyle. Too much caffeine can still have negative consequences. For example, it can make it hard to sleep and speed up your heart rate.

People love coffee, so it might do more than simply give you a jolt of energy every day. It could become a minor but important part of positive aging when combined with other healthy behaviors. This phenomenon is especially true for women who want to stay strong physically and mentally as they become older.
