Daily Aussie habit that could add years to your lifespan

For many Aussies, drinking coffee is a quick way to get a sure-fire energy boost. But a new study, presented at the annual meeting of the American Society for Nutrition, suggests it might also support longer-term health, specifically, healthy ageing. While the study hasn't been peer-reviewed or published yet, it was thorough and tracked a large group of women over many decades. It adds to the growing body of research linking coffee to a longer life and various health benefits, including lower risks of certain chronic illnesses. Fang Fang Zhang, a professor of nutritional epidemiology at Tufts University who wasn't involved with the study, told The New York Times that the findings connecting coffee with healthier ageing weren't surprising. 'The data is quite consistent that coffee consumption is actually beneficial,' she said. The study methodology Researchers followed more than 47,000 female nurses over several decades, starting in the 1970s. The women answered questions about various lifestyle factors every few years, including how much coffee, tea, and cola (Coca-Cola or Pepsi) they drank. In 2016, the researchers looked at how many were still alive and met the criteria for 'healthy ageing'. Just over 3700 women met this definition: they were 70 or older, in good physical and mental health, with no cognitive impairment or memory loss, and free from 11 chronic diseases like cancer, Type 2 diabetes, heart disease, kidney failure, Parkinson's disease, and multiple sclerosis. They found a correlation between the amount of caffeine consumed (mostly from coffee) between ages 45 and 60 and the likelihood of healthy ageing. After adjusting for other factors that could affect ageing, such as diet, exercise, and smoking, the women who consumed the most caffeine (nearly seven small cups a day) were 13 per cent more likely to age healthily than those who had the least (less than one cup a day). Drinking tea or decaf coffee wasn't linked to healthy ageing, possibly because the overall consumption of tea and decaf was lower among the study participants, making it harder to see benefits. What other research says The study lead warned that just because drinking seven cups of coffee daily was associated with healthier ageing doesn't mean everyone should do so, nor is it necessarily healthy. However, many other studies have found similar links between regular coffee consumption and health benefits. A team from Queen Mary University, London, recently revealed that caffeine can help you live longer by influencing how cells grow, repair, and respond to stress. The British researchers believe this could significantly boost longevity and even help ward off dementia, diabetes, and heart failure. Another study from May this year, involving over 46,000 adults, found that those who drank one to three cups of coffee daily were 15 per cent less likely to die within the next nine to 11 years compared to those who didn't drink caffeinated coffee. The takeaways While these studies can't prove cause and effect, the consistent benefits observed suggest they are unlikely to be due to other factors, experts say. Interestingly, drinking coffee is often linked with habits like smoking and less exercise. However, the fact that benefits are still seen after accounting for these factors hints that coffee might really have a positive effect. Experts also warn that adding too much cream or sugar can negate some of the health benefits of coffee, so keep that in mind next time you order your cup of Joe.

The post EA College Football 26 – Top 25 Toughest Places To Play appeared first on ClutchPoints. EA Sports has unveiled its list of top 25 Toughest Places (Stadiums) to play in College Football 26. While Stadium Pulse affects every away team to a certain degree, these stadiums represent the toughest for teams to play in. So whether you play as this team, or against them, expect to see an insane crowd that both looks cool and affects gameplay. Without further ado, here are the top 25 toughest places to play in College Football 26. The Top 25 Toughest Places to Play In College Football 26 – Toughest Stadiums Overall, the top 25 toughest places to play in EA Sports College Football 26 include: Advertisement Tiger Stadium – LSU Tigers Beaver Stadium – Penn State Nittany Lions Ohio Stadium – Ohio State Buckeyes Sanford Stadium – Georgia Bulldogs Bryant-Denny Stadium – Alabama Crimson Tide Memorial Stadium – Clemson Tigers Ben Hill Griffin Stadium – Florida Gators Gaylord Family Oklahoma Memorial Stadium – Oklahoma Sooners Autzen Stadium – Oregon Ducks Michigan Stadium – Michigan Wolverines Kyle Field – Texas A&M Aggies Neyland Stadium – Tennessee Volunteers Darrek K Royal Texas Memorial Stadium – Texas Longhorns Doak S.

So if you wanted, you could try and create a custom conference or schedule in Dynasty where you force yourself to play in some of these stadiums. While many teams from last year's list returns, the whole order has been changed up completely. Kyle Field, which was ranked #1 last year, has dropped down 10 places to #11. Meanwhile, LSU jumped up two places to take the #1 spot. Boise State, Arkansas, Virginia Tech, whose respective stadiums made last year's list, have all been kicked off the list for CFB 26. Oklahoma State, NC State, and Washington have replacedd them. Out of the three new teams on the list, Washington made the biggest jump, landing at #18. But what do these rankings mean? EA College Football features Stadium Pulse, which is essentially a returning feature from the old NCAA Football games. Overall, the more active your crowd is, the more likely they can help affect the enemy team's play. From Screen Shakes to disappearing receiver routes, Stadium Pulse puts up a huge emphasis on home-field advantage. Advertisement However, away team's can negate the affects of Stadium Pulse by playing well. Furthermore, certain players possess mental abilities that reduce or even negate the effect of Stadium Pulse. So play well, develop your players, and even the toughest stadium crowds will shut up before your greatness. But Stadium Pulse also helps you during home games. Whether you're hosting a rival or a ranked team at home, your '12th' man can literally be one of your most important players. Overall, that includes the top 25 toughest stadiums to play in College Football 26. We look forward to playing in these stadium when the game launches this July. Furthermore, check out some of the recent info shared by the developers. From new schools, improved presentation, and an overhauled Dynasty Mode, there's a lot coming in this year's installment.
