Coffee Protects Against DNA Damage
DNA damage contributes to accelerated aging.1
There are many causes of damage to DNA, from normal metabolic processes to external factors like exposure to UV light or radiation.
As we age, the damage accumulates, leading to further, more rapid aging of organs and tissues.
Common disorders with links to DNA damage include cardiovascular, diabetes, inflammatory bowel, autoimmune, and cancer.2-11
A recent study discovered that coffee protects our DNA, the thin stretches of genetic material packed into virtually every cell in the body.
In the trial, published in late 2018, coffee reduced DNA damage by a significant 23%.12
This new study adds to growing evidence recommending consumption of 2-4 cups of coffee daily to help protect against a host of age-related disorders.
