You like your morning cup of coffee,but did you know that it could be beneficial to your health,while now French researchers compared women aged 65 and older who drank more than three cups of coffee per day with those who drank one cup or less per day.and they found that Those who drank more caffeine showed less decline in memory tests over a four year period.The study, published in the journal Neurology, raises the possibility that caffeine may even protect against the development of dementia.
Rebecca Wood, chief executive of the Alzheimer’s Research Trust, said that with no cure for Alzheimer’s disease yet available, research into possible protective factors was important, particularly as the disease is expected to become more common.She said: “This study does not suggest that caffeine actually lowers rates of dementia in women, but since memory seems improved, it may be that it is slowing it down.
So coffee could be beneficial to you after all.Only time will tell.
