Good news for coffee drinkers: Your daily caffeine fix might help you stay healthy for longer. According to CNN, researchers analyzed 30 years of dietary data for 47,000 women and found that those who consumed a moderate amount of caffeinated coffee (about one to three cups a day) experienced fewer major chronic diseases and better cognitive, physical, and mental health as they aged. Those who drank decaffeinated coffee or tea did not experience the beneficial effects.
