Welcome back, Wellworthy readers.

The real health impact of your daily coffee habit

The Breakdown
A study tracking 43,114 US adults found people drinking 1-2 cups of coffee daily lived longer than non-drinkers.
Why it matters
From instant and drip to espresso, all formats do the trick.
The benefit comes from consistent, moderate consumption—not $7 frappuccinos or brewing methods.
There was one clear exception: sugar. People who added sugar to their coffee saw no longevity benefit, regardless of how much they drank. Plain, unsweetened coffee was what worked.
Based on these findings, researchers suggested moderate coffee consumption could fit into a healthy diet. That’s quite notable, given how cautious scientists usually are about dietary recommendations.
The takeaway
Benefits topped out at two cups, and drinking more made no difference. The usual caveat: coffee isn't for everyone, particularly if you're naturally sensitive to stimulants.
But for most people already drinking coffee in moderation, this might be one longevity habit you don't need to overthink. Cheers.

Fitness & training
adidas x Humanrace released the EVOLUTION Pro, a $1,000 design study with touch-reactive textures and haptic feedback underfoot. Built on the super shoe that set the women's marathon world record, but positioned as a concept over a straightforward release. Check it out.
adidas is also back with Entire Studios on 26 pieces that actually handle training but look refined enough to wear outside the gym. Squat-proof leggings, training onesies, layering pieces, all in a muted palette. This collab proves performance shouldn’t compromise design. Launches tomorrow.

What's moving in wellness this week →
London gets a longevity week. Starting this weekend, Lucis is hosting Outlive London, a massive longevity-inspired week including events like clinical blood work, contrast therapy at the UK's largest sauna, and HIIT sessions. It's preventive health as a group activity. Basically, the same energy turning running into a group activity is now hitting biohacking.
NYC's first sauna festival. Culture of Bathe-ing takes over the Williamsburg waterfront Feb 12–March 1 with 17 saunas, 1,000+ guided sessions, and live performances from DJs. Robert Hammond, cofounder of the High Line, calls it "the start of a cultural wave, think yoga in the '90s or coffee in the '80s." If he's right, bathhouses in every neighborhood might be next. Naturally, New York is leading the way.
