Coffee can help longevity and may be particularly beneficial later in life

The English section of Spanish website El Pais have released a new article looking at the health benefits of coffee - it's a good summary of lots of recent research and studies.

The article concludes that most research is now quite consistent in agreeing that coffee can boost longevity. It also suggests that the benefits of coffee may increase in later life as that is when most chronic disease tends to occur.

It did carry one note of warning, suggesting that coffee may not always be the best option for pregnant women or for those suffering from hypertension.
