This is one of them: Drinking several cups of caffeinated coffee or tea a day may protect against Type 2 diabetes, coronary heart disease and stroke. They also looked at responses from about 172,000 people who specified that they drank caffeinated coffee or tea. None of them had a history of cardiometabolic disease — defined by a diagnosis of at least two of the three conditions: Type 2 diabetes, coronary heart disease or stroke — when the study began. And among those who did eventually develop cardiometabolic disease, drinking moderate amounts of coffee every day was still associated with lower risk of developing another cardiometabolic disease. Studies have also shown a link between high caffeine intake and a greater risk of dementia and stroke.

▼ + stars: | 2024-03-11 | by ( Devan Burris | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +2 min

Founded in 2017, Athletic Brewing Co. opened the doors to its nonalcoholic craft brewing facility within a year. Unlike other brewing companies, Athletic Brewing didn't cut its teeth making alcoholic beer before pivoting into nonalcoholic options. Instead, Athletic Brewing was founded on the idea that nonalcoholic beer didn't need to be a niche category with limited offerings. Fast forward to 2024, and Athletic Brewing is now dominating the nonalcoholic beer market. According to NielsenIQ data, Athletic Brewing represents 19% of the domestic nonalcoholic beer market, making it the top nonalcoholic beer brand in the country.

Based on my interviews with 263 people ages 100 or older, I've found that the world's longevity champions conduct themselves based on what I call the "Power 9." People in the Blue Zones eat their smallest meal in the late afternoon or early evening, and they don't eat any more the rest of the day. Plant slantBeans, including fava, black, soy and lentils, are the cornerstone of most Blue Zones diets.

Modelo Especial is now America’s top-selling beer, dethroning the longstanding king, Bud Light, which recently has been subject to a culture-war storm. Here’s how an antitrust lawsuit and savvy marketing helped the Mexican brand grow in the U.S. Photo: Mario Tama/Getty ImagesA number of readers were surprised by my recent column that mentioned “regular drinkers” might have a lifespan as much as seven years shorter than nondrinkers. Haven’t many studies over the years suggested some benefit from an occasional drink, especially against cardiovascular diseases? There are a number of reasons why drinking shortens lifespans, and one is that we have lost track of what a “drink” actually is.

▼ + stars: | 2023-07-31 | by ( Sandee Lamotte | ) edition.cnn.com time to read: +8 min

CNN —As little as one alcoholic drink a day increased systolic blood pressure — the top number in a blood pressure reading — even in men and women with no existing hypertension, a new study found. The negative impact of alcohol on systolic blood pressure continued to rise over the years, the study found, even in men and women who drank little each day. Blood pressure and cardiovascular healthBlood pressure is measured in units of millimeters of mercury (abbreviated as mmHg), and written as two numbers, one above the other. No amount of alcohol is good for blood pressure, study says. “However, this review found relatively low levels of alcohol impacted blood pressure,” said Freeman, who was not involved with the research.

It’s no secret that nonalcoholic cocktails are suddenly ubiquitous. Whereas until a few years ago, nondrinkers had to make do with cranberry-splashed club soda, now seemingly every noteworthy bar offers a phony Negroni or a margarita-inspired mocktail. Today, the best bitter aperitifs (the term for nonalcoholic alternatives to spirits like Campari and Aperol) have all the complexity and layered flavors of their boozy counterparts. — Oliver StrandVideo Credit Credit...
