Many modern people are used to having a cup of coffee every morning, but in addition to being refreshing, the latest research shows that coffee can also prevent dementia. "drinking three to five cups of coffee a day can reduce the risk of developing Alzheimer's disease by 20 percent," the scientists said. "

According to the Daily Mail, the study was sponsored by many major European coffee companies, such as illycaffe, Nestl é and DE Master Blenders, and published by the Coffee Science and Information Society (Institute for Scientific Information on Coffee). The study explains in detail how diet affects the development of diseases, such as the famous Mediterranean diet, which includes fish, fresh fruits and vegetables, olive oil and red wine, all of which are associated with reducing the risk of brain degeneration.

Coffee contains high levels of polyphenols.

The study also pointed out that so-called polyphenols are the best contributors to the protective effect, while coffee contains high levels of polyphenols, and Dr Iva Holmerova, president of the European Association for dementia, said: "the results of this study are very encouraging because coffee is such a popular drink around the world. I am glad to know that moderate and lifelong consumption can have a beneficial effect on cerebral degeneration."

The medical community has doubts about the results of the research.

But Dr Simon Ridley of the British brain degeneration study is sceptical about the findings. He thinks the study also needs clinical trials to prove a link between coffee drinking and reduced dementia, although some studies have shown a link between the two, but there is insufficient evidence.

Don't be discouraged to hear this, because as long as you exercise regularly, maintain a healthy and balanced diet, avoid smoking or drinking too much, and pay attention to hygiene, experts who study encephalopathy say these can have a certain effect on reducing dementia.
