Can Just 2 Cups Of Coffee Help?

ITALY—A recent study conducted at the University of Bari Aldo Moro in Italy and published in the Journal of Alzheimer’s Disease found that consuming coffee could lower the risk of cognitive impairment.


The study included a large group of participants who were followed for an average of 3.5 years. The researchers monitored their coffee consumption habits and compared that to their memory and thinking abilities.


The team found that those who consistently drank a moderate amount of coffee, which is one to two cups per day, saw a significant decreased risk of MCI. It is noted that MCI is the decline in cognitive abilities, including memory and thinking skills.


According to the researchers:


“Moderate and regular coffee consumption may have neuroprotective effects also against MCI, confirming previous studies on the long-term protective effects of coffee, tea, or caffeine consumption and plasma levels of caffeine against cognitive decline and dementia."


If you are interested in lowering your risk of Alzheimer’s disease, you might want to consider adding a cup of coffee to your daily routine.


Have a great day.
