When you're a coffee drinker, you'll naturally feel the wonder that a cup of coffee brings, whether it be a steaming cup in the morning to awaken your senses, a sweating glass of iced coffee to freshen up on a hot afternoon, or a warm mug in the evening to unwind after a long day.

But do you know that a cup of coffee offers more than that? A new study published on July 10 in the journal, Annals of Internal Medicine cited that coffee consumption prevents early death from a number of diseases.

More than 521,330 people were included in the study which lasted for 16.4 years. 25% of coffee drinkers in the study consumed 3 or more cups a day. Among that group, 12% of men were less likely to die early compared to non-coffee drinkers and 7% of women were less likely to die early.

The study concluded that coffee consumption was associated with reduced risk of death from various causes. This goes without saying that one of the coffee health benefits is long life.
