Centenarians Drink Tea or Coffee Daily
Do centenarians consume tea or coffee?
Moderate tea or coffee intake is common in centenarian populations and is linked with reduced mortality.
Explanation
Both coffee and tea contain polyphenols and antioxidants that reduce oxidative stress and inflammation. Coffee is associated with lower risks of type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and neurodegenerative disease. Tea — particularly green tea — supports vascular health, metabolism, and cognitive performance.
Moderation is key: excessive caffeine intake may cause sleep disruption or anxiety.
Practical Emphasis
Enjoy 1–3 cups of coffee or tea daily, without excessive sugar or cream.
Action Tip
Incorporate moderate tea or coffee for protective antioxidants.
