Researchers discovered that espresso coffee can effectively stain biological samples for electron microscopy, offering a safe, inexpensive, and non-toxic alternative to traditional heavy metal stains like uranyl acetate, with promising results in imaging zebrafish mitochondria, though further testing across different tissues is needed.
A study suggests that the best time to drink coffee for health benefits is in the morning between 4 a.m. and noon, as it reduces the risk of cardiovascular disease and overall mortality, while drinking coffee at night may disrupt sleep and increase anxiety.
A study suggests that drinking three to four cups of coffee daily may slow biological aging by up to five years, potentially increasing lifespan, due to antioxidants and anti-inflammatory compounds in coffee that preserve telomere length, especially in individuals with severe mental illnesses, though moderation is advised due to possible side effects.
A comprehensive study suggests that drinking two to three cups of coffee daily may add up to two years to your lifespan by improving overall health and reducing the risk of chronic diseases, thanks to its antioxidants and bioactive compounds, but excessive intake can have adverse effects.
The NYT Strands puzzle for January 1, 2026, has a coffee theme, with the solution being the word 'Coffee' itself, and involves finding related words in a complex, pattern-based word search game.
Recent studies suggest that moderate coffee consumption (3-4 cups daily) may promote longevity, reduce the risk of chronic diseases, and support healthy aging by protecting cellular health and potentially extending lifespan, especially in women and individuals with psychiatric disorders.
Taking ibuprofen with coffee can enhance its pain-relieving effects due to caffeine's ability to block pain signals and improve absorption, but alcohol should be avoided when taking ibuprofen due to increased health risks.
Research indicates that drinking coffee in the morning, aligned with the body's circadian rhythms, is associated with lower risks of mortality and heart disease, emphasizing the importance of timing in coffee consumption for health benefits.
A study published in Aging suggests that higher blood levels of theobromine, a compound found in dark chocolate and smaller amounts in coffee, are associated with slower cellular aging as measured by epigenetic clocks, though causality and optimal intake levels remain unclear.
A recent study shows that theobromine, a compound found in chocolate and coffee, is linked to slower cellular aging, as measured by epigenetic clocks, suggesting potential health benefits from these foods.
A recent study suggests tea may slightly benefit bone mineral density more than coffee, especially at the hip, but the differences are small. Moderate coffee consumption (2-3 cups daily) is generally safe for bones, while drinking five or more cups may negatively impact bone health. Maintaining strong bones also involves a balanced diet rich in calcium and vitamin D, regular resistance exercise, and avoiding smoking and excessive alcohol. Overall, moderation in coffee intake and a healthy lifestyle are key to supporting bone health.
In Tokyo, a unique coffee omakase experience offers a six-course, luxurious coffee tasting menu in an exclusive, reservation-only setting, showcasing Japan's deep love for caffeine.
A study suggests that drinking tea may support bone health in older women, while high coffee consumption could negatively impact bone mineral density, especially in women who consume alcohol, highlighting the potential influence of beverage choices on osteoporosis risk.
A study suggests that consuming polyphenol-rich foods like berries, coffee, and olive oil may support long-term heart health by improving cardiovascular risk profiles and maintaining favorable cholesterol levels, although causality has not been established. Incorporating these foods into a balanced diet could be beneficial for heart health as part of overall healthy lifestyle choices.
A study suggests that drinking 3-4 cups of coffee daily may slow cellular aging by protecting telomeres, potentially adding about five youthful years, but consuming more than four cups offers no benefit and may harm cells.
