Are you a caffeine lover? Do you like your coffee sweet or drink it like the devil without any sugar or milk? Well, it turns out that if you're drinking coffee straight up, you are more likely to die as compared to those who add sugar to their caffeine drinks.
According to new research, coffee drinkers live longer if they add a spoonful of sugar to their order. As per a new study published by Annals of Internal Medicine, researchers found that having a coffee habit leads to a healthier and longer life.
Researchers from Southern Medical University in Guangzhou, China, observed 171,000 UK participants across a span of seven years. The study found that coffee drinkers were up to 21 per cent less likely to die than those who did not drink coffee.
The study discovered that coffee drinkers were less likely to develop heart diseases and cancer compared to non-coffee drinkers.
The study also revealed that people who drank lightly sweetened coffee a day were 29 to 31 percent less likely to die during the study. The study also noted that it didn't matter if people drank 'instant, decaffeinated or ground', all types of coffee prevented participants from developing some significant health issues.
Another study conducted in 2018 found a connection between moderate coffee drinkers and a reduced likelihood of developing Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease. According to researchers at the University of Toronto and the Krembil Research Institute in Canada, coffee consumption could have a 'neuroprotective effect' which protects avid drinks from developing certain kinds of brain disorders.
This research was further supported by a study called the 'Australian Imaging, Biomarkers and Lifestyle Study of Ageing' at Edith Cowan University in 2021.
The researchers found that drinking coffee helped prevent the brain from atrophy by aiding cognitive function, especially executive functions relating to organising, self-control, and attention.
Lead researcher Dr Samantha Gardener also urged people to up their coffee intake to decrease the risk of developing Alzheimer's, according to New Food Magazine.
"It's a simple thing that people can change," she said. "It could be particularly useful for people who are at risk of cognitive decline but haven't developed any symptoms." She added: "We might be able to develop some clear guidelines people can follow in middle age and hopefully it could then have a lasting effect."
