Go ahead and grab that cup of coffee, or two, or more. Doing so may improve your health and help you live longer, suggests a new research in a new observational study involving close to 20,000 individuals, people consumed at least four cups of coffee daily had a 64% lower risk of early death (compare) to those who never rarely consumed coffee.

    The reduction in risk was more significant once people reached age of 45, suggesting that it may be even(good) to consume coffee as we get older.

    These findings support the recent results of another large observational study, which found that coffee(drink) appear to live longer, regardless of whether they consume regular coffee.

    Coffee has also been shown to reduce the risk of many diseases, including type 2 diabetes(糖尿病), liver disease, Alzheimer's and skin cancer, too.

    "Coffee is loaded with antioxidants（抗氧化剂）," said Joe DeRupo, a spokesman for the National Coffee Association." Many are (natural) occurring antioxidants found in the coffee bean, while others (create) during the roasting process. These antioxidants are thought to be linked with positive effects in (reduce) the risk of several diseases.

    While coffee consumption may appear to be healthful for many, others should carry on caution. Pregnant women, for example, should cautiously limit (they)intake of coffee.
