- A study found that coffee drinkers may have a 40% lower risk of atrial fibrillation (AFib) recurrence.
- Research also shows that drinking black coffee daily can lower overall mortality risk and the risk of death from cardiovascular disease.
- Another study found that the polyphenols in black coffee may lower the risk of type 2 diabetes.
Coffee is a staple for many adults, with approximately 66% of Americans drinking it daily.
Recent studies have shown that coffee may be beneficial for heart health and may also help reduce the risk of type 2 diabetes.
In addition to its potential benefits for heart health and weight management, coffee has been linked to other potential advantages, including:
- Boosting energy
- Aiding in weight management
- Potentially reducing the risk of depression
However, it's essential to note that adding significant amounts of sugar and saturated fats to your coffee may diminish these benefits. Pregnant or nursing individuals are also advised to reduce their caffeine intake.
Is Coffee Linked to AFib Risk?
Conventional wisdom has often suggested that people with atrial fibrillation (AFib) or those at risk of it should limit or avoid coffee consumption.
However, recent research and a clinical trial have challenged this idea. The DECAF study found that among 200 adults diagnosed with AFib or a related condition, those who drank coffee daily had fewer recurrent episodes than those who avoided caffeine entirely over a 6-month period.
The results of the DECAF trial suggest that instead of potentially triggering AFib, coffee may actually reduce its frequency. The exact reasoning behind this reduction is still unclear, but it's possible that blocking adenosine or the anti-inflammatory properties in coffee may play a role.
