Does Coffee Slow Aging? Science Reveals Anti-Aging Benefits of Drinking Coffee
Multiple studies show coffee drinkers have younger epigenetic age signatures than non-coffee drinkers.
But a lot of people make this mistake when consuming it. I’ll get back to this later. First, the studies.
Coffee Anti-Aging Benefits: What the Research Shows
Coffee drinkers don’t just have healthier DNA—it actually behaves younger.
A recent analysis of over 16,000 people identified consistent changes in DNA methylation. (1) These are the chemical marks controlling gene activity at 11 sites closely tied to inflammation, metabolism, and the aging process itself.
In a US health survey, they found that each extra cup of coffee corresponded to 0.12 years younger biological age. (2)
People who consumed 3 or more cups had a 34-41% lower chance of accelerated aging compared to non-drinkers.
Regular coffee consumption, with each extra cup, correlated with a 0.7 to a full year reduction in epigenetic age. (3)This remained consistent across all robust measures for biological aging.
How Coffee Prevents Aging: The Bottom Line
So what does this mean?
It means drink coffee. It is going to reduce how fast you age and will improve your health.
But remember I said not to make these mistakes when drinking coffee. This is how to do it properly.
How to Drink Coffee for Anti-Aging Benefits
Daily Coffee Intake for Longevity
Drink 2 to 4 cups per day, preferably organic, as many coffee crops are sprayed heavily with pesticides, so try to drink organic when you can.
Best Time to Drink Coffee for Health
Try to stop drinking coffee 10 hours before bedtime, as caffeine has a half-life of 5 hours, which means if you have a quad shot espresso, you still have 1 shot worth in your system 10 hours later.
You may be able to fall asleep, but your sleep quality will be drastically affected.
