Good news for coffee lovers. Consuming their favorite drink can also make them live longer as long as it is consumed in the right way and in the right amount. Coffee is known to be high in polyphenols, antioxidants and other compounds related to brain and heart health.

Research in the same journal in May 2022 also found that consuming 3 cups of coffee per day is good for heart health. Compared to participants who didn’t drink coffee, participants who drank as much coffee were associated with a lower risk of dying from heart complications.
Dr Ascher says you should be careful with the flavorings and additives in your cup of coffee. “Be careful with added sugar, cream and flavored syrups if you drink coffee,” he said.
