A recent study revealed that drinking coffee reduces the risk of Alzheimer's disease.
In this regard, Australian researchers at the University of Sydney School of Medicine studied lifestyle until old age and whether coffee consumption affected the rate of cognitive decline for more than 200 people over a decade, noting that the results showed a link between coffee and many important indicators related to Alzheimer's disease. .
The researchers showed that drinking more coffee gave positive results with regard to certain areas of cognitive function, specifically executive function, which included planning, self-control and attention, which indicates that increased coffee consumption is linked to slowing the accumulation of amyloid protein in the brain, a major factor in the development of Alzheimer's disease, they said.
"We found that participants without memory impairment who had higher coffee consumption at the start of the study were less likely to regress to mild cognitive impairment that often preceded or developed Alzheimer's disease over the course of the study," said lead researcher Dr Samantha Gardiner at the university.
