Coffee has been a tradition in the morning. Nowadays, people are working more hours and are hence getting less sleep. College students especially do not get enough sleep. Previously, coffee was seen to be a negative impact on health but now, moderate coffee consumption is considered healthy.

Tea and coffee both contain antioxidants that rid the body of free radicals. Free radicals are proven to harm cells. A recent study had found that coffee consumption in women can decrease the chances of dementia.

Researchers at Stanford University discovered that among certain adults, caffeine can block and inflammation pathway that leads to heart disease. 100 participants went under assessments that involved family and medical histories, surveys, and giving blood.

According to head author of the study, David Furman, "More than 90 percent of all non-communicable diseases of aging are associated with chronic inflammation." With caffeine, certain gene clusters can stave off chronic inflammation.

In the end, the researchers couldn't prove a cause-and-effect relationship between caffeine consumption and longevity, only a strong correlation. They were also not sure why some people have gene cluster, that is found to help inhibit inflammation over time. But it can be said that drinking coffee can prolong life in the long run with the decrease in inflammation.
