Non-coffee Drinkers With Sedentary Lifestyle At 60% Higher Risk Of Dying: Study – News18

Is coffee beneficial for health? The answer to this question is not similar for everyone. According to new research, a cup of coffee can add many years to your life. If you work for hours while sitting, then incorporating a regular cup of coffee into your daily routine can prove to be nectar for you. Non-coffee drinkers who sit for six hours or more a day have a 60 percent higher risk of death than those who drink coffee and sit for 6 hours. This claim has been made in research published in a journal called Biomed Central (BMC) Public Health. The study was conducted in the US on more than 10,000 adults for up to 13 years by researchers from the Medical College of Soochow University’s School of Public Health in China. They found an increased risk of dying for sedentary non-coffee drinkers. This risk is reduced to a great extent in those who drink coffee. Researchers also found that in people who are working sitting for at least 6 hours a day but are drinking coffee, the risk of death was found to be 24 percent less in such people.

The researchers wrote in their study, “The benefits of coffee consumption in improving overall survival in adults compared to sedentary behaviour are manifold. Consuming coffee appears to lower the risk of metabolic problems that can worsen inflammation, which in turn increases the risk of death due to sedentary behaviour.”

The person who consumed the highest amounts of coffee had a 33 percent lower risk of dying compared to non-coffee drinkers. The results were consistent with previous studies, which have found a link between drinking more coffee and a lower risk of dying from any cause, including heart disease.

Many compounds present in coffee, including caffeine and polyphenols, are naturally anti-inflammatory. This means that if you drink coffee, it reduces inflammation in your body. The researchers said that there is no clear information about how coffee reduces the risk of death and what changes it causes in the body. Researchers also found that in those who sit for more than eight hours a day, the risk of death due to any reason increases by 40 percent. In such people, the risk of dying from a heart attack increases by about 80 percent.
