“The findings suggest that ground coffee with mild to moderate caffeine should be considered part of our healthy lifestyle,” said study author Peter Kistler, chair of clinical physiology research at the Baker Heart and Diabetes Institute and chief of electrophysiology at Alfred Hospital in Melbourne.
The researchers found that those who drank coffee of all kinds had a significant decrease in the risk of coronary heart disease, congestive heart failure and stroke, according to CNN.
The study, whose results were published in the European Journal of Preventive Cardiology, also found that ground and instant coffee, which contain caffeine, reduce the risk of developing an irregular heartbeat.
The study was based on a database “Biobank” in the United Kingdom, which includes information on 450,000 people who are coffee lovers.
The participants in the study, who were not suffering from cardiovascular disease and arrhythmia, were divided into 4 groups: those who consumed ground coffee containing caffeine, those who chose decaffeinated coffee, and those who preferred instant coffee containing caffeine. caffeine, and those who never drink coffee.
After 12.5 years, researchers looked at medical and mortality records for reports of arrhythmia, cardiovascular disease, stroke and death.
The researchers found that consuming ground coffee reduced the risk of death by 27 percent, followed by 14 percent for decaffeinated coffee, and 11 percent for caffeinated coffee.
As for the association between coffee and a lower risk of heart disease and stroke, researchers confirmed that drinking two to three cups of ground coffee per day reduced the risk by 20 percent, while the same amount of decaffeinated coffee reduced the risk by 6 percent.
And the numbers changed when it came to the effect of coffee on arrhythmias: four to five cups of caffeinated ground coffee per day reduced the risk by 17%, while two to three cups of instant coffee per day reduced the likelihood of arrhythmia. Heart rate by 12 percent.
