(Undated) — Drinking coffee daily may be tied to healthy aging in women.
According to a study presented at the American Society for Nutrition, researchers used a large sample size and 30 years of follow-up to assess several different aspects of longevity and healthy aging. The study found after three decades, there were three-thousand-and-706 women who met the definition of a healthy age. It consists of “living to age 70 or older, being free from 11 major chronic diseases, maintaining physical function, having good mental health, exhibiting no cognitive impairment and showing no memory complaints.”
Alternatively, researchers found no link between healthy aging and decaffeinated coffee or tea, but the study found caffeinated soda lowered participants’ chances of healthy aging by 20 to 26-percent.
