Java for the Brain
Good news, coffee addicts: your brain is safe! A new study from the University of Kuopio in Finland just published in the Journal of Alzheimer’s Disease this month says that if you drink coffee, you’re less likely to get Alzheimer’s. Lead researcher, Miia Kivipelto says: “Middle-aged people who drank between three and five cups of coffee a day lowered their risk of developing dementia and Alzheimer’s disease by between 60 and 65 percent later in life.”
So Boomers, drink up! But not too much. A separate recent study has shown a connection between heavy coffee drinking and hallucinations. As always, it’s a delicate balance.
