A new study in BMJ Mental Health suggests that drinking up to four cups of coffee a day is associated with slower biological aging in people with severe mental disorders, reflected in longer telomeres—chromosome caps linked to cellular aging. The observed difference in telomere length corresponds to roughly five extra years of biological youth compared with non-coffee drinkers, while higher intake shows no such benefit and may contribute to cellular stress.
