Want to Avoid Dementia? Ignore This TERRIBLE Advice
Trying to follow mainstream medical advice is bound to give you whiplash…
One day, they are trying to slap the eggs and bacon off your plate… and the next, they’re telling you to eat more eggs and bacon.
Then they’re telling you some alcohol may be good for you… and now they’re saying it causes cancer.
If you’re having trouble keeping up with the shifting winds, I don’t blame you. And if you need another example, listen to this…
Because modern medicine spent decades demonizing a simple drink Americans have been enjoying for centuries.
Now, we know it can slash your dementia risk by 18%…
This could be mainstream medicine’s biggest about-face yet… and it’s definitely time to add this beverage back to your morning routine.
The mainstream’s war on caffeine – and, by extension, coffee and tea – never made a lot of sense to me.
They seemed to worry about blood pressure spiking… and seniors across America blowing out their blood vessels.
Never mind that people have been drinking coffee for 1,000 years – and tea even longer – without that happening.
Now, nobody is telling you to chug a six pack of energy drinks. But the truth is, your body adjusts to caffeine – and moderate coffee or tea consumption is not a blood pressure risk for most people.
Even the Mayo Clinic admits that.
So, if you’ve sworn off coffee or tea in the name of “going healthy”… well, it may be time to start up again.
The health of your brain could depend on it.
In a massive study out of Harvard, researchers tracked the health data of more than 131,000 people for up to 43 years.
They found that people who drank more caffeinated coffee and tea had a significantly lower risk of cognitive decline – and even dementia.
In fact, they were 18% less likely to develop dementia than people who drank the least caffeine.
The sweet spot seemed to be around two cups a day of coffee or tea – and it needs to be fully loaded. Decaf didn’t deliver any of the same benefits.
Now, if you’re surprised by all of this… don’t be. We’ve known for ages that caffeine can increase alertness and focus in the short-term. And in the long-term, it may help protect brain cells and reduce inflammation.
That’s probably why it’s been linked to lower Parkinson’s risk, too.
If you’ve been swearing off caffeine to protect your health, it may be time to reverse that decision. And if your doctor has told you to quit caffeine, talk to him about this latest research.
The positive evidence on caffeine keeps stacking up – and it has become too great to ignore.
