Coffee – How Your Daily Cup Can Help Increase Longevity

With Bonus Collagen Coffee Recipes!

Who would have thought that your daily coffee habit could extend your lifespan and help contribute to the prevention of age-related diseases.

Caffeine’s benefits as an anti-ageing substance are ever increasing with studies showing a correlation between daily caffeine consumption and longevity.

Researchers now believe that caffeine can help protect your body against chronic inflammation—a condition that occurs increasingly as you age.

So whilst your daily caffeine fix can help you feel less tired and increase your energy levels it has now been linked to greater health benefits, including a reduced risk of type 2 diabetes as well as liver, heart, and neurological diseases. It may also benefit mental health, weight management, and ultimately help you live longer.
