'na tazzuriella' and coffee ... or rather five, if you don't want to get sick of Alzheimer and preserve an iron memory. This is what emerges from an American research from the University of Florida published in the Journal of Alzheimer.
It would be right there caffeine, cross and delight of all of us, to have a protective and even curative effect against Alzheimer's: from the study, conducted on 55 mice aged 18/19 months (the equivalent of our 70 years) raised in order to develop the symptoms of the disease, it was found that taking caffeine every day would be able not only to prevent, but also to cure Alzheimer's.
The "sick" guinea pigs were divided into two groups: the first was given 500 milligrams of caffeine dissolved in drinking water per day, the equivalent, in fact, of five nice cups of coffee, while the second acted as a control. After two months, it was noticed how mice that regularly consumed caffeine performed better on memory tests with results comparable to those of mice of the same age, but without disease. But not only that, he even witnessed one reduction of almost 50% of the levels of the beta amyloid protein, responsible for the harmful tangles characteristic of Alzheimer's. Improvements not found, on the other hand, in mice with Alzheimer's, but which were not "served" coffee.
According to the researchers, caffeine affects the production of beta amyloid by acting on the enzymes necessary for its sintering, but also by reducing the inflammation in the brain that causes the over-production of this dangerous protein.
The Florida team, coordinated by Dr. Gary Arendash, expects to be able to find confirmation of the results achieved by starting human experimentation as soon as possible.
In the meantime, we can add a further "point" in favor of coffee (better if biological and coming from fair trade shops) to feel less guilty every time we fail to say no to the umpteenth cup of the day.
