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.

从前，有个孩子在山上放羊。他看到很多人在山下干活儿，想捉弄一下别人，就故意大声喊叫:“狼来了！狼来了！”山下的人听到喊叫声，立刻跑上山来。可是，山上根本没有狼，是放羊的孩子在撒谎，人们被他欺骗了。

过了几天，人们又听见这个孩子在山上喊:“狼来了！狼来了！”大家又跑到山上去，结果还是没有狼，人们又被撒谎的孩子欺骗了。

又过了几天，狼真的来了。这个孩子又喊:“狼来了！狼来了！狼真的来了！”山下的人们听到喊声，再也没有人理他了。结果他的许多羊都被狼吃了。
