Discover more amazing benefits of your morning cup of coffee

New research published in the medical journal BMC Medicine suggests that higher levels of caffeine in the blood over a long period of time may help protect against both obesity and arthritis – two diseases that haunt people aged 50 and over.

New study finds more good news for coffee lovers

An international study led by Dr Loukas Zagkos at Imperial College London (UK) and Dr Héléne T. Cronjé at the University of Copenhagen (Denmark) investigated the effects of caffeine on osteoarthritis and a number of other conditions.

Caffeine is the main ingredient in coffee, but it is also found in tea and soft drinks.

The data used in the study included blood caffeine levels of 9,876 people aged 47 to 71.

Participants were divided into groups based on the type of caffeinated beverage they consumed. The team then used analytical methods to find the association between plasma caffeine levels and metabolism.

The results found that high levels of caffeine in the blood over a long period of time can help the body fight obesity and joint disease, according to the health website Healthline (USA).

Coffee can help the body fight arthritis

The researchers concluded: We report new evidence that long-term increases in circulating caffeine may help reduce body weight and reduce the risk of both osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis. However, further clinical research is needed to better understand these findings before recommending clinical practice or lifestyle interventions related to caffeine consumption.

How much caffeine is safe to consume per day?

The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recommends that adults consume no more than 400 milligrams of caffeine per day. This is equivalent to 3-4 cups of coffee.

And it's important to keep track of how much caffeine you're consuming and how it affects your body, according to Healthline.
