Researchers found that Greek coffee is the richest in polyphenols, helping arterial circulation and therefore reducing the risk of heart disease without making a coffee drinker as edgy as other kinds of coffee.<\/p>\n

According to Dr Maria-Paz de Pe\u00f1a and her team, as published in their latest study\u00a0in the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry, improving digestion is also among the many benefits of\u00a0Greek coffee.<\/p>\n

It is not the first time Greek coffee has been related to longevity as based on previous studies by the University of Athens Medical School, drinking it on a daily basis\u00a0seems to improve endothelial function.<\/p>\n

The correlation was made while interviewing and conducting tests on\u00a0residents of Ikaria, the famous Greek island most of its inhabitants make it to well over 90 years of age.<\/p>\n

Drinking Greek coffee at least once is a favourite habit on the island.<\/p>\n

It is noteworthy that over 80 per cent of the Ikarian participants who lived longer and had no inflammation, blood pressure, or major health issues actually enjoyed a Greek coffee three to our times a day.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
