Drinking 2 to 3 cups of coffee may reduce stress-related conditions, study suggests
The results of a large study indicate that drinking 2 to 3 cups of coffee per day may help reduce the risk of anxiety and depression. The study also suggests that moderate coffee intake is beneficial, while very high intake, such as 5 or more cups per day, was linked to an increased risk. These findings were consistent across coffee types, including instant, ground, and decaffeinated coffee. However, as an observational study, the results show an association and not proof that coffee directly reduces stress-related disorders.
