Enjoy that Cup of Coffee

"Researchers report that people age 65 and over who drank 3-4 cups of coffee a day were more likely to postpone or prevent the development of Alzheimer's Disease." Prevention Magazine, Oct. 2012

The research suggests that caffeinated coffee may suppress enzymes involved in the formation of neuron-damaging plaque.  It may also boost levels of cytokines, which protect against dementia.  This research comes from the University of South Florida College of Pharmacy.  Along with our other health-supporting habits of good nutrition, daily exercise, meditation; if you like coffee, here is another way to support our own health.
