Why yes, yes it can! On Radio 4 this morning they definitely said "coffee drinkers have a 16% lower chance of dying". I understand this to mean there is approximately a one in six chance that I will NEVER DIE.
Morning coffee may lower risk of heart disease-related death, research suggests
The time of day you drink a cup of coffee may lower the risk of an early death, new research suggests.
The study found that people who drank coffee in the morning had a lower risk of dying from cardiovascular disease and had a lower mortality risk than all-day coffee consumers - but the research could not prove whether coffee was the sole cause.
This morning I ran on the treadmill again. It's slower but probably just as good exercise. I sweat a lot more indoors for sure. That's Runuary (and of course dryanuary) day eight done.
Didn't go in to the office. No particularly bad weather here yet, but there is likely to be in London and it could have caused me problems getting home again.
Heavy rain and a moderate breeze, 3 - 4℃.
Estimated 2228 cups of coffee from my barista pro 1 probably comes to £0.96 a cup (including 3 years of coffee beans and now servicing 1 but not the 'leccy).
dryanuary: Not drinking for the month of January.
runuary: Running probably 5k every day for all of January.
