Caffeine can cause your blood vessels to constrict, and as a result, the vessels at the surface of your skin won't deliver as many antioxidants and nutrients to promote collagen production. "The results of drinking too much coffee can cause the skin to wrinkle prematurely, and become more lax with time," says Dr.

Learn More »Though a venti latte works wonders at killing a headache and giving you the power to make it through the morning, too many cups of coffee can have a side effect on your skin, particularly if you're concerned with anti-aging. Caffeine can cause your blood vessels to constrict, and as a result, the vessels at the surface of your skin won't deliver as many antioxidants and nutrients to promote collagen production. "The results of drinking too much coffee can cause the skin to wrinkle prematurely, and become more lax with time," says Dr. S. Manjula Jegasothy, M.D., CEO and founder of the Miami Skin Institute. "These changes definitely give the skin a more aged appearance than in people who do not consume caffeine." So, how much is too much? Dr. Jegasothy notes that one to two cups a day is fine, but anything over that limit is overkill. On the plus side, that myth about coffee triggering more acne outbreaks has been busted. "There are no studies to show whether caffeine or coffee consumption impacts acne-prone skin, but because of the vasoconstrictive effect of caffeine and the potential antioxidant effects of the coffee berry, I would hypothesize that the effect of coffee on acne-prone skin is net neutral," Dr. Jegasothy says. The obvious solution would be to cut it out — or at least dial back your consumption. "Healthy skin in individuals under 50 can usually see a reversal of any of coffee's bad effects on their skin within two to three months," Dr. Jegasothy explains. "Older, more mature skin types may take three to six months to reverse the aging effects of chronic coffee consumption." Once you limit your intake, Dr. Jegasothy says that you'll notice fewer wrinkles, more hydrated, plumped skin, and a brand new glow. "This is because more open-dilated blood vessels are providing essential nutrients and collagen-building proteins to the skin," she adds.

Learn More »New study says decline begins in our 50s Researchers with Duke University's School of Medicine suggest that physical decline begins in the decade of the 50s and worsens as we age, especially for those who don't exercise.
Typically, studies that have looked at age-related physical ability focused on testing those in their 70s and 80s. This study tested a wider age range — 775 subjects from age 30 to 90-plus — and found that exercise to offset physical decline needs to start before people are AARP-eligible. "Our research reinforces a life-span approach to maintaining physical ability — don't wait until you are 80 years old and cannot get out of a chair," lead author Katherine Hall, assistant professor of medicine at Duke, said in a statement. "The good news is, the ability to function independently can often be preserved with regular exercise." In the study, published in the Journals of Gerontology, all participants were given simple tests to measure their strength, balance or endurance: rising from a chair repeatedly for 30 seconds; standing on one leg for a minute; and walking for six minutes. Walking speed over a distance of about 10 yards was also measured.
