A Cup of coffee in the morning reduces the risk of dementia.
Daily consumption of coffee reduces the likelihood of developing dementia.
To such conclusion the American scientists observed the health of 6,5 thousand people within 10 years.
Just two cups of coffee a day will help to protect us from senile dementia, say scientists from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. Experts have conducted an extensive human studies, analyzing data, almost 6.5 thousand women over the age of 65 years.
The doctors watched the health of women for 10 years. The scientists recorded how often participants drink beverages with caffeine, and correlated this with the state of their brain.
As a result, they were able to identify the following pattern: the use of 261 mg of caffeine daily — about two cups of coffee reduced the likelihood of developing dementia by 36%.
The specialists of the American University noted that the study cannot yet be considered complete. In particular, experts do not yet understand exactly how caffeine reduces the risk of developing cognitive impairment.
Scientists have suggested that coffee inhibits specific chemical receptors (adenosine A2A), which with age can start to work incorrectly, affecting the region of the brain that controls learning and memory
