\"o-COFFEE-DRINKING-facebook-660x330\"If you want to stave off the nastier effects of aging, like cancer of heart disease, then turn to science's most contested morning drink\u2014coffee<\/a>.<\/p>\n

We know, we know. It seems like everyday a new study comes along that says coffee will either zap your fertility or make you live forever. But scientists have now found a solid link between caffeine consumption and reducing elevated levels of inflammation, which triggers most of the major diseases attributed to “old age.”<\/p>\n

In a new study published in the journal\u00a0Nature Medicine<\/em>, a team at Stanford University analyzed blood samples from 100 participants, young and old.\u00a0Most of the older participants had increased levels of activity in their inflammation-related genes; however, those who reported regularly drinking\u00a0caffeine had\u00a0very low levels of activity in their inflammatory gene pathways, more on par with younger participants.<\/p>\n

“The more caffeine people consumed, the more protected they were against a chronic state of inflammation,” study author David Furman told\u00a0Time<\/a><\/em>. While inflammation is vital to the functioning of the immune system, increased levels of inflammation, common in older age, can lead to chronic diseases like\u00a0diabetes, hypertension, joint disorders and Alzheimer\u2019s.<\/p>\n

The science is in, people. Who's up for a cup of joe?<\/p>\n
