JAKARTA - Drinking two to three cups of coffee a day is associated with a possible longer life, according to a new study by researchers in Australia. Researchers, broadcast by Insider on Thursday, analyzed data from 450,000 people in the UK Biobank, observed over about 12.5 years.

They found that 27 percent less likely to die than coffee copies. Instant and caffeinenoffeinated coffee drinkers have a 11 percent lower chance of early death and 14 percent lower.

According to studies, people who drink two to three cups of coffee, regardless of type, are also less likely to develop cardiovascular disease.

While caffeinated coffee grounds have a slightly lower chance of developing arrhythmias or irregular heartbeats.

"Our findings show drinking coffee in sufficient quantities can be enjoyed as a healthy behavior for the heart," said study lead author Peter Kistler, of the Baker Heart and Diabetes Research Institute in Australia.

Many studies found coffee for good people. A paper in The Journal of Nutrition last year found Italians drinking three to four cups of badminton daily had a lower risk of exposure to all causes of death compared to people who did not drink coffee.

Health benefits may remain even after adding a little sugar. People in the UK who drink coffee without a sweetener to a slightly sweet coffee have a 31 percent less chance of dying (due to disease) than their peers who don't drink coffee.

This refers to a study that tracks 171,000 people over seven years.

Relations between coffee without caffeine and longevity can be beneficial for people who are sensitive to caffeine, or who wish to limit their coffee intake to the recommended four cups a day.

Even so, many studies on coffee and age have not found a direct relationship. Studies usually observe behavior over time periods, cannot determine causality, because other factors such as the environment or behavior can contribute to the outcome.
