People who spend a lot of time sitting down might reduce their health risks by drinking coffee, a new study suggests.

Researchers from China wanted to look at the health effects of coffee drinking and time spent sitting.

They looked at health data for nearly 11,000 people in the US and followed them for up to 13 years.

During the period of the study, 945 people died, including 284 from heart disease.

The research team found that people who sat for over eight hours a day were almost 50% more likely to die from all causes, and nearly 80% more likely to die from heart disease.

That's compared to people who sat for fewer than four hours per day.

Sitting for a long time has been linked to increased risks of diabetes, high blood pressure, obesity and more.

The researchers also found that people who drank the most coffee — three or more cups per day — reduced their risk of death from all causes by over 30% compared to those who drank no coffee. And they were more than 50% less likely to die from heart disease.

And drinking coffee even seemed to protect people from the health risks of sitting down: coffee drinkers could sit for more than six hours a day and still have about the same risk of death as non-coffee drinkers who sat for less than six hours.

However, the researchers said they didn't look at the effects of different types of coffee on our health, so they couldn't be sure which type was best.

They wrote that more research would be needed on this "miracle" drink.

In this third part of the Neil McTaggart story, 18-year-old Neil arrives in 1920s Ontario, Canada, to live with his uncle Robert Jefferey — a firm but fair man from his mother's side. Neil, unable to read or write, begins adjusting to life in a deeply religious, structured household. This chapter explores the beginnings of their relationship as Robert gently steps into a fatherly role, and Neil begins to sense the stability, discipline, and quiet kindness of his new life.

At the dinner table, Neil meets his aunt and cousins for the first time. Set against the backdrop of rural Canadian farm life, this is a moving story of migration, growth, and learning to belong — especially for those starting again in a new world.
