Drinking coffee can help protect healthy brain function as you age
Coffee often gets a bad reputation because of all of the sugar and additives that are mixed in with it. Companies like Starbucks welcome diabetes by selling espresso drowned in inane amounts of sugar. Their newest Frappuccino line contains 400 percent the daily recommended amount of sugar, which equates to 30 cubes of sugar per beverage!
Coffee also gets a bad reputation because of its natural caffeine content, but researchers are now discovering that this natural caffeine is actually helpful for stimulating the minds of older adults to prevent mild cognitive impairment. The researchers do caution that too much coffee can have the opposite effect, doubling one's risk of memory decline. The key is moderation.
Coffee is more than just a tasteful, enjoyable beverage. In moderation, it's a mind-protective drink. It can also be used as a marinade and a rub to tenderize meat, and it can even be used in place of pesticides to lure rodents into simple water traps. Organic coffee has also been used in cancer healing protocols through enemas to stimulate bile flow and liver detoxification.
