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 story, a wax bowl of stinky tofu named Stinfu wants to transform into real food. How does he do it? This is Part 3 of 4. 

The night market had finished and all the satisfied customers had left. There was only the restaurant staff, working very quickly to pack up. They didn’t want to spend another minute around a kitchen. They wanted to get home to their warm houses and relax. 

Stinfu stayed where he was. From his view in the showcase, he couldn’t see any of the workers, but he could definitely hear them. He heard plates being washed and stacked; and he heard spray bottles used to clean tables. 

Then, right on time, just like every night, Stinfu was picked up and moved out onto the counter. A waiter then reached inside the showcase and wiped the glass. 
Stinfu looked out at the lonely, empty night market and wished for a miracle. 

I’ve done my service… I’ve attracted thousands of customers to eat stinky tofu… I’m done. I’m tired of living a fake life. I know I’m something real, something more than this wax figure. 

And with that thought, Stinfu saw the homeless man return. 

The homeless man creeped forward, trying to stay hidden from the restaurant workers. He crouched down behind a table and looked straight at Stinfu. The homeless man’s eyes said everything: I’m going to get that stinky tofu or die trying! 

Stinfu lit up with absolute joy and sung a little song in his mind. 

Eat me, eat me, eat me—I’m ready. Eat me, eat me, eat me—I’m delicious! 

When the time was right, and the workers were nowhere to be seen, the homeless man ran forward to the counter and snatched Stinfu.
