Coffee drinkers get health perks from five cups per day, according to a new study building on increasing evidence that coffee props health in a number of ways.

For the study, 90,1317 U.S. adults were tracked over a 10-year-period. Health records, adjusted with factors such as smoking status, cancer diagnoses or heart diseases were the main tracking tools for the research team.

Doctor Erikka Loftfield, the lead author of the recently published study and working with the National Cancer Institute of Rockville, Maryland explained that the findings are supported by the composition of coffee. Sipping your coffee may bring relaxation, a boost of energy and comfort. But it also brings a number of biologically active compounds such as caffeine, potassium or phenolic acids which are key in fighting a number of health issues.

Coffee drinkers get health perks from five cups per day. It may seem like much, but even less than that works wonders. Moreover, the findings held even for people who were consuming decaf. Five coffee cups per day kept mortality risk due to diabetes or heart disease at lower rates. Previous research showed that coffee intake is generally associated with a lower mortality risk. 8,700 participants in the study died by 2009.

For the others, the researchers suggest that mortality risk was reduced the more coffee they consumed. Four to five coffee cups per day kept mortality risk at low levels, according to the findings of the study featuring in the American Journal of Epidemiology.

Overall, those who consumed five coffee cups per day presented a lower mortality risk from such ailments as diabetes, heart disease, pneumonia, chronic respiratory diseases. Coffee consumption was even found to prevent suicide.

As per the study’s findings, two to three coffee cups per day lowered mortality risk by 18 percent. If you’re worried about drinking too much coffee, health guidelines recommend that 400 milligrams of caffeine are not exceeded on a daily basis. 200 milligrams of caffeine per day represent a moderate caffeine intake. This amount is considered safe even for women who are pregnant as per the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists guidelines.

Surprising as it may sound, coffee drinkers get health perks from five cups per day. High quality studies have increasingly added to the evidence that coffee intake supports a healthy lifestyle. That is not to say that people who don’t drink coffee should take up the habit. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle doesn’t necessarily imply coffee consumption. Even for coffee drinkers, alternative healthy habits are recommended.
