Eight researchers from various American universities have just published a groundbreaking study showing that a common, popular drink can completely prevent dementia from developing. <\/p>\nEight researchers from various American universities have just published a groundbreaking study showing that a common, popular drink can completely prevent dementia from developing. <\/p>\n
Good news is that you can get this drink everywhere and most people love it. <\/p>\n
You probably consume it once in a while but you may have to drink more of it (maybe much more). <\/p>\n
The study appeared in a recent edition of the Journals of Gerontology, Series A: Biological Sciences and Medical Sciences.<\/p>\n
The researchers identified 6,467 post-menopausal women from the Women\u2019s Health Initiative Memory Study who reported consuming some caffeine. The information included the amount of coffee, tea, or cola they drank.<\/p>\n
The data also included the results of annual assessments of their cognitive function, taken over a period of 10 years or less.<\/p>\n
During this period, 388 women were diagnosed with some level of cognitive impairment or dementia.<\/p>\n
After comparing the participants’ dementia diagnoses with their caffeine intake, they concluded that the women who consumed only a little daily caffeine were 36 percent more likely to suffer from dementia or some level of cognitive impairment than those who consumed a lot.<\/p>\n
Those who developed dementia or cognitive difficulties drank an average of 64mg of caffeine per day, while those who remained cognitively fully functional consumed 261mg of it.<\/p>\n
261mg of daily caffeine equals two to three cups of coffee or five to six cups of black tea. The cups should be normal cup-size, at approximately eight ounces or 250 milliliters.<\/p>\n
Seven to eight cans of cola, have similar amount of caffeine but I don\u2019t recommend that due to its unhealthy sugar contain.<\/p>\n
The researchers were happy with their findings because caffeine intake is so easy and, at these levels anyway, without side effects.<\/p>\n
