Popular Beverage REDUCES Alzheimer’s Risk
How much you should be drinking every day
If water from the Fountain of Youth existed, you’d probably drink it.
If an elixir existed to cure cancer, you’d likely be drinking that, too.
I know I would.
Those don’t exist (yet)… but there is something you can drink that can dramatically reduce your risk of a major health threat facing older Americans:
Alzheimer’s disease.
It can also boost cognitive function.
And you’re probably already drinking it.
If you can’t get by without your morning cuppa Joe, you’re in good company.
You’re also lowering your risk of cognitive decline with every sip you take.
In a new study from Edith Cowan University, researchers followed 100 people over 10 years. They found that people who drank coffee every day experienced a slower accumulation of beta amyloid plaque—those clumps of damaging proteins that build up and contribute to the loss of neurons (and loss of self) that is characteristic of dementia.
Slower accumulation means you could possibly prevent—and at the very least, delay—the onset of this incurable condition.
In addition, coffee drinkers also showed beneficial results in numerous specific cognitive functions, including self-control, planning, and attention.
So, how much coffee is the magic amount to achieve these benefits?
Based on this study, drinking two cups per day reduced the risk of cognitive decline by eight percent in 18 months—and decreased the accumulation of beta amyloid plaques by five percent.
If you’re already drinking those two cups per day, great!
If not, I can’t think of a better reason to start enjoying this popular drink.
Just make sure you’re drinking it without the popular sugary sweeteners.
