According to US researchers, there are 20 per cent lesser chances of women getting depressed if they consume coffee on a regular basis.

He said, “This short-term effect is what drives the consumption of caffeine. Here we are looking at long-term chronic use of caffeinated coffee.”

About 50000 women were taken for a study that concluded this and it was a health study of nurses. Depression was seen in any participant when the study began and the average age of these participants was 63.

Women were divided according to their coffee consumption and their were studied for about 10 years then.
