There’s a good reason to start the day with a cup of coffee, those who do appear to live longer than others.
Drinking coffee is associated with a lower risk of death due to heart disease, cancer, stroke, diabetes, and respiratory and kidney disease for African-Americans, Japanese-Americans, Latinos, and whites.
People who drink a cup of coffee a day are 12 percent less likely to die compared to those who don’t drink coffee. This association is even stronger for those who drink two to three cups a day 18 percent reduced the chance of death.
