Half-Minute Health-Helpers: Coffee and Alzheimer’s Disease
Here is the audio text to the video:
“As we’re living longer and longer lives, we all want those extra years to be happy, healthy and productive and not compromised with foggy brain function. An article posted recently on WebMD.com announces a study reporting that three cups of coffee a day can stem the tide against debilitating cognitive conditions in older adults who are already experiencing memory problems.
It’s interesting to note that coffee was the main source of caffeine among people in the study as opposed to soft drinks or teas, which may indicate that there’s also a benefit to the bean, as well. So to help keep your mind sharp, remember to jump on the java.”
