Coffee CupFive cups of coffee every day, could prevent the emergence of problems with memory, the suffering inherent in Alzheimer’s disease, which is known as senile dementia. A study conducted on mice by researchers in Florida, also shown, that the frequent use of coffee prevents accumulation in the tissues of the brain minimized proteins – beta-amyloid and tau proteins, which are the main cause of senile dementia.

In this study, scientists raised 55 mice with a specially developed symptoms of Alzheimer’s disease. Since mice aged 18 to 19 months, equal to 70 human years, the scientists conducted tests showing available problems of test mice with memory. Then, to the half of mice have been added caffeine in the water, and the other half of mice drank clean water.

Within two months, mice “on the caffeine” gave a total of five 227-gram cups of coffee a day, or 500 milligrams of caffeine, which amounts to two cup of Latte or cappuccino, 14, a cup of tea or 20 other non-alcoholic drinks.

After two months, researchers again conducted a test on mice, which shown, that mice, drinking caffeine, have a much better mental ability and memory, than their disadvantaged coffee congener, and the contents in their brain tissues closed protein decreasing exactly in half.

As the scientists had already conducted studies, that show, that caffeine helps to protect the memory of young mice, that had not yet affected by Alzheimer’s disease. “The results of the research is very exciting, as well as to achieve improvements, that have already spoiled the memory of a much more difficult – says a leading doctor of the experiment Gary Arendesh. – They argue the evidence, that caffeine may not be used only as preventative method, but also as an important way to treat famous Alzheimer’s disease. This is important, because for most people, caffeine is a safe drug, it easily injects to the brain and, as could be seen, directly fights the disease.
