How any cups of coffee have you had today? If you’ve avoided coffee entirely in the belief that it can result in high blood pressure and other health problems, you might not be sitting quite so pretty as you think. On the other hand, if you’ve had up to three, you may well be reducing your chances of dying prematurely from a stroke or cardiovascular disease.

Far from bringing about premature death, the study concludes that regular coffee consumption is perfectly safe. “Even high daily intake was not associated with adverse cardiovascular outcomes and all-cause mortality after a follow-up of 10 to 15 years,” says study author Dr. Judit Simon, of the Heart and Vascular Centre at Semmelweis University.
And not only does there seem to be a lack of health risks, the study found that people who drink between half a cup and three cups of coffee a day were less likely to suffer strokes or die from cardiovascular disease and other causes. Further research, using data from 30,650 participants who underwent cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), strengthened the conclusion. Says Dr. Simon, “The imaging analysis indicated that compared with participants who did not drink coffee regularly, daily consumers had healthier sized and better functioning hearts. This was consistent with reversing the detrimental effects of ageing on the heart.”
This isn’t the first time that coffee’s been found to have actual health benefits, either;a similar studyin February 2021, which looked at data from three separate studies on cardiovascular health, concluded that higher coffee intake was associated with reduced risk of heart failure. So go on, have another cup; it’s good for you!
