Coffee is a beverage rich in caffeine, which helps reduce fatigue and increase concentration effectively. In particular, some studies have shown that caffeine can help older women fight memory loss.
Reader Digest magazine quoted information from the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) saying that the maximum safe caffeine consumption for a healthy adult (except pregnant women) is 400 mg/day.
The FDA also said that consuming caffeine above the safe threshold often leads to temporary effects on heart rate and blood pressure that apply to normal people, but can create a history of dangerous cardiovascular disease.
However, the benefits that caffeine brings to healthy people are undeniable.
Several studies have been published in the Journal of Gerontology showing that caffeine can fight dementia, including Alzheimer's disease.
Accordingly, women aged 65 and older participating in the study consumed an average of 261 mg of caffeine/day (about 2-3 cups of coffee) for 10 years. The results reported that they had fewer symptoms of dementia than the group of women who consumed a small amount of caffeine, an average of 64 mg/day.
