Furthermore, a study of more than 21,000 people found that high coffee consumption significantly reduced the risk of heart failure.
Prolong life. Some studies suggest that coffee may help prolong life. A review of 40 studies concluded that drinking two to four cups of coffee a day reduced the risk of premature death. What’s more, drinking at least one cup of coffee a day was linked to a lower risk of death from cancer, according to Healthline .
Red wine
Many people may be surprised to learn that this alcoholic beverage is a favorite among the health-conscious residents of the “Blue Zones.” However, it is important to know that they drink according to the golden rule of “moderation.”
People in most Blue Zones drink one to three small glasses of red wine a day, usually with meals and with friends, says expert Dan Buettner. Research from the US National Library of Medicine also found that moderate consumption of red wine helps reduce the risk of coronary heart disease.
Water
In addition to the two flavored drinks above, staying hydrated is also praised for its health benefits. Dr. Sunni Patel, founder of the Dish Dash Deets Health Care Center (UK), said that drinking enough water helps promote optimal blood circulation, thereby reducing the risk of blood clots, according to Express.
