If you’re going to tie a resolution to the calendar, I think it makes sense to give yourself a chance to score a fast, easy, meaningful. Which, leads us to coffee, and drinking more of it. Because study after study seems to suggest it has significant long-term health benefits. In 2017, researchers funded by the Another big study, from American Heart Association and the Harvard School of

A 2018 study of 500,000 British adults over a full decade showed that coffee drinkers were 10 percent to 15% less likely to die from any cause than non-drinkers, possibly according to
the study authors, because, “coffee contains more than 1,000 chemical compounds including antioxidants, which help protect cells.”
Drinking “even more coffee” provides an incremental benefit
over drinking “more coffee,” up to a surprisingly high count, according
to a 10-year study of almost 20,000 people over 10 years.
In our enthusiasm, we should add a caveat: Stop at five cups. Once you
get past that, according to a study of nearly 350,000 coffee-drinkers from
the University of South Australia, you might start to increase the risk of heart disease.
