Scientists have found that coffee has a beneficial effect on slowing down age-related changes in women. As the researchers noted in the scientific publication Nutrition 2025, drinking this drink in mature years helps maintain health and mental functions in old age.

The study analyzed data accumulated over 30 years, covering tens of thousands of women. It was found that women who regularly drank caffeinated coffee were more likely to maintain physical activity and clarity of thought in their later years. The most pronounced result was observed in those who drank an average of three cups daily. According to endocrinologist, doctor of medical sciences, leading researcher at Moscow State University Zukhra Pavlova, this probably concerns small volumes of the drink.

Other drinks, including tea, soda and decaffeinated coffee, did not show such an effect. Pavlova emphasized that coffee is not a universal means of maintaining health, but for women it can be an additional factor contributing to active longevity.

The specialist also gave recommendations for maximizing the benefits of the drink. In her opinion, it is preferable to drink freshly brewed coffee, ideally filtered. The drink should be drunk without additives - sugar, milk or syrups - and not on an empty stomach. It is better to wait about an hour after eating, taking medications or vitamin complexes.

In addition, Pavlova advises limiting coffee consumption to the first half of the day, avoiding it before bedtime. It is also recommended to accompany the drink with a glass of water to prevent dehydration.
