4.Some people don't drink coffee.Are you fond of drinking coffee?Here is something you can use as an argument every time someone warns you against drinking your third cup of coffee for the day:Coffee may actually add some years to your life.A paper published recently in the New England Journal of Medicine details a study that began in 1995.A total of 402,260people tested (none of whom had heart disease or cancer) between the ages 50and 71were asked about their coffee drinking habits.Only 42,000of all the test subjects were non-coffee drinkers,while most of them admitted to drinking two or three cups a day.
By the year 2008,52,000of the people tested had already died.Based on the data gathered by the researchers,men who drank two or three cups of coffee daily were 10% less likely to die,while it went up to 13% for women.
Researchers haven't been able to tell what it is in coffee that benefits your health----it could be any one of coffee's many components.It's clear that more research is needed to establish the connection between drinking coffee and having a longer life,but Dr.Frank Hu of Harvard School of Public Health believes it's"the best evidence we have".
Before you get up from your seat to get another cup of coffee---don't forget to check the tips on making great coffee---Dr.Hu has two pieces of advice for you.First,avoid cream and sugar and anything that could affect the health nature of coffee.Second,filter(过滤)your coffee beans instead of boiling them,because filtering removes the components that can raise your cholesterol (胆固醇) level.
