5 things you may not have known about coffee ("Do not miss" system)

In recent years more and more studies have found that drinking a few cups of coffee a day contributes greatly to health.

Now a new study has found that drinking two to three cups of coffee a day may reduce the risk of developing heart problems, and can even prolong life.



Researchers analyzed data from nearly 400,000 people in their 50s who did not have heart disease, and followed them for 10 years.

They found that in general, drinking two or three cups of coffee each day was best.

These people had a 10 to 15 percent lower risk of developing coronary heart disease, heart failure, irregular heartbeat or dying from any cause.

The benefits existed regardless of whether participants drank instant or ground coffee.

Decaffeinated coffee on the other hand, did not yield the same health benefits.

The researchers also looked at people who had already had some heart disease, and found that two to three glasses a day was associated with a lower chance of dying compared to not drinking, despite fears among doctors that the stimulant might worsen heart problems.

"Our data suggest that daily coffee consumption should not be avoided but included as part of a healthy diet for people with and without heart disease," said Professor Peter Kistler, an expert at the Baker Baker Heart Institute in Melbourne, Australia, who led the study.

What's in the coffee?

Coffee beans contain more than 100 compounds associated with lower levels of inflammation and increased metabolism.

The researchers said these mechanisms may be part of the factors behind how drinking a drink can improve heart health.

The compounds in coffee can reduce inflammation, improve insulin sensitivity - which lowers blood sugar - and increases metabolism.

Caffeine is also known to suppress appetite, which can lead to a lower rate of obesity and the health conditions associated with it.

The Australian researchers used data from BioBank in the UK - a database containing health information of more than half a million Britons who have been under surveillance for 10 years.

Those included in the database filled out a questionnaire, in which they were asked, among other things, how many cups of coffee they drink a day.

In the first study, the team examined data on 382,535 people, aged 57 on average, with no heart problems.



The results of the study, which will be presented at the American Conference on Cardiology in Washington, DC, show that drinking two to three glasses a day is associated with the greatest benefit.

The risk of the subjects suffering from coronary heart disease, heart failure, heart rhythm problem or dying for any reason by the end of the study was 10 to 15 percent lower.



However, the team found that those who drank one cup of coffee a day were at the lowest risk of having a stroke or dying of heart problems.

Professor Kistler, head of arrhythmia research at Alfred Hospital and the Lev Baker Institute, said there is a 'whole range of mechanisms' through which coffee may improve heart health and reduce mortality.

In the second part of the study, the team examined 34,279 people with cardiovascular disease to determine how coffee consumption affected their health.

Overall, those who drank two to three cups of coffee each day had the lowest chance of dying over a 10-year period.

And consuming any amount of coffee did not increase the risk of developing heart rhythm problems, which some doctors cite as a reason to reduce coffee consumption, as coffee causes an increase in heart rate and palpitations.



The team found that those who suffered from atrial fibrillation - a common type of heart rhythm problem - and drank one cup of coffee a day were almost 20 percent less likely to die during 10 years of follow-up compared to those who did not drink coffee.



Professor Kistler said doctors "usually have a certain concern" about people drinking coffee and suffering from cardiovascular disease or arrhythmias.

"But our research shows that regular coffee consumption is safe and can be part of a healthy diet specifically for people with heart disease," he said.
