After a delightful holiday season, I\u2019m feeling well-rested if not a bit doughy around the edges, thanks in no small part all the eating and drinking (and coffee) entailed in what is essentially an extended month-long hang with friends and family. Normally, at the strike of the New Year, I\u2019d decided it\u2019s time to get my literal ass in shape, but after reading a study from the University of California, Irvine<\/a>, I\u2019m saying, \u201cnah.\u201d As detailed by Travel + Leisure<\/a>, the study suggests that drinking coffee and alcohol (and having a little extra weight) may lead to a longer life.<\/p>\n

Performed by UCI\u2019s Institute for Memory Impairments and Neurological Disorders,<\/a> the 90+ Study<\/a> is the work of Claudia Kawas, MD; Maria Corrada, ScD; Annlia Paganini-Hill, PhD; and Dana Greenia, RN, MS. In it, they followed the lives of over 1,600 nonagenarians starting in 2013 through a series of biannual checkups to help \u201cdetermine which factors and life choices made people more likely to live past 90.\u201d<\/p>\n

The researchers found that participants who consumed two cups of coffee a day were associated with a 10% decrease in mortality, and those who drank \u201conly two glasses of wine or beer\u201d per day were associated with an 18% decrease. Interestingly enough, they also found that people \u201coverweight in their 70s lived longer than normal or underweight people did.\u201d But Travel + Leisure does note that exercising regularly and \u201cmaintaining a regular hobby\u201d helped individuals avoid premature death.<\/p>\n

So eat, drink, and be merry, and rethink what a \u201cbeach bod\u201d is. You can\u2019t go to the beach if you\u2019re dead. Happy New Year!<\/p>\n
