People who work while sitting... Drinking this beverage reduces mortality rates

Two cups of coffee can be a remedy for office workers who sit for long periods. Sedentary lifestyles impair blood circulation between the upper and lower body, increasing the risk of cardiovascular disease. The antioxidant components in coffee counteract this effect. It doesn't have to be coffee; drinking tea rich in antioxidants can also be effective.

A recent study published in the international journal 'BMC Public Health' found that drinking two cups of coffee a day can reduce the risk of death for people who sit for more than six hours a day. Professor Bingyan Li's team at Soochow University School of Medicine in China tracked 10,639 American adults from 2007 to up to 13 years to analyze the correlation between sitting time and coffee consumption. The research team asked participants who sat for more than six hours a day about their daily coffee intake and divided the participants into five groups based on their consumption. The analysis showed that the group with the highest coffee intake (two to three cups per day) had a 1.58 times lower probability of death from all causes compared to those who did not drink coffee at all. The risk of death from cardiovascular disease was also significantly lower. The research team stated, "Coffee is rich in physiologically active substances with antioxidant properties, which seem to reduce mortality from chronic diseases."

You can enjoy the same benefits by drinking tea instead of coffee because tea is also rich in antioxidants. Professor Stanisław Suma's team from the Department of Preventive Cardiology at the Medical University of Poland investigated whether tea, like coffee, can also reduce the risk of early death. As a result, drinking tea was found to decrease cardiovascular risk and early mortality. Regularly drinking tea increases the level of adiponectin, a hormone that lowers the risk of diabetes, decreases the amount of reactive oxygen species that promote aging in the body, and reduces low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol levels, which are harmful to vascular health. Tea varieties rich in antioxidants include green tea, oolong tea, black tea, rooibos tea, and pu-erh tea.
