        "content": "<p>Good news for coffee and tea enthusiasts. A long-term study spanning\n43 years involving approximately 130,000 respondents has provided strong\nevidence that the habit of regularly drinking coffee and tea can be one\nof the keys to maintaining cognitive function and reducing the risk of\ndementia.<\/p>\n<p>The research conducted by a team from Mass General Brigham and\nHarvard University concludes that moderate consumption of coffee and tea\ncorrelates with a reduction in the risk of the disease that attacks\nmemory. Among the total participants observed, approximately 11,000\nindividuals developed dementia, but those who regularly consumed\ncaffeine showed better brain resilience.<\/p>\n<p>In a report published by the American Medical Association,\nresearchers emphasised that early prevention is crucial. This is because\nonce symptoms of dementia appear, current treatments provide only\nlimited benefits.<\/p>\n<p>Coffee and tea contain polyphenolic compounds and caffeine that serve\nas neuroprotective factors. These compounds work by reducing\ninflammation and cellular damage whilst protecting the brain from\natrophy.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur results are very encouraging, but it is important to remember\nthat coffee consumption is only one piece of the larger puzzle in\nprotecting cognitive function as we age,\u201d said Daniel Wang from Mass\nGeneral Brigham and Harvard, as reported by The Star on Thursday (26\nFebruary).<\/p>\n<p>Although some studies provide slightly different figures, there is\ngenerally a consensus regarding the moderate doses that are\nbeneficial:<\/p>\n<p>Harvard Study: Recommends 2 to 3 cups of caffeinated coffee or 1 to 2\ncups of tea per day.<\/p>\n<p>University of Utah Study: States that up to 4 cups of coffee per day\nis the optimal dosage.<\/p>\n<p>American Chemical Society Study (2023): Highlights compounds in\nespresso that can inhibit the accumulation of tau protein\u2014the cause of\ncognitive damage in old age.<\/p>\n<p>Another interesting finding is that these benefits remain evident\neven in people who have a predisposition or genetic inheritance of\ndementia. This means that caffeine likely provides equivalent protection\nfor those with both high and low genetic risk.<\/p>\n<p>Although coffee has anti-ageing benefits for human cells, experts\nnevertheless remind us that a healthy lifestyle overall remains the\nprimary determining factor in protecting brain health in the future.<\/p>",
