Greek Coffee that makes you live longer !



Many people kick-start their day with a cup of coffee.
Interestingly, a new study has found that drinking certain types of coffee could also help you to live longer.


Researchers studied the elderly inhabitants of Greek Island Ikaria, who boast the highest rates of longevity in the world.
They discovered that a cup of boiled Greek coffee could hold the key to good cardiovascular health.
Study author Dr Gerasimos Siasos, from the University of Athens Medical School, said: 'Boiled Greek type of coffee, which is rich in polyphenols and antioxidants and contains only a moderate amount of caffeine, seems to gather benefits compared to other coffee beverages.

Ikarians are twice as likely to live past the age of 90 than in any other part of the World, with the islanders tending to live out their latter years in good health, researchers said.
