Scientists have discovered employees who spend at least six hours per day at a desk were a third less likely to die prematurely if they drank two or three cups of the beverage compared to those who did not drink any.

The team said: "There is growing evidence it can reduce mortality from chronic diseases due to its powerful properties."
