Us studies show that smoking and drinking coffee help reduce the risk of Parkinson's disease
Parkinson's patients drink less coffee and smoke less than other family members without the disease, researchers at Duke University Medical Center reported in the Daily Health News. Their findings appear in April in Archives of Neurology.
Previous studies have shown that drinking coffee, smoking and taking nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDS) such as aspirin, ibuprofen and naproxen help prevent Parkinson's disease, but few family studies have explored this association.
The new study included 356 Parkinson's patients (average age 66) and 317 family members (average age 64). The results showed that Parkinson's patients had 44% fewer smoking histories and 70% fewer current smokers than unaffected family members; increased coffee consumption and intensity were negatively associated with Parkinson's disease; NSAID use was not associated with Parkinson's disease.
Researchers say it's not clear why smoking and coffee consumption help reduce Parkinson's risk. Because Parkinson's disease is complex, these environmental factors do not act in isolation, and the importance of gene-environment interactions in Parkinson's disease susceptibility should be emphasized. Smoking and caffeine may modulate familial genetic effects of Parkinson's disease and should be included as effect modifiers in candidate gene studies for Parkinson's disease.

Research reports show that drinking coffee does not lead to high blood pressure
Research reports show that drinking coffee does not lead to high blood pressure. As caffeine can lead to a temporary rise in blood pressure, many people worry that long-term drinking coffee will lead to high blood pressure. Healthy women who drink at least six cups of coffee a day are no more likely to develop high blood pressure within 10 years than those who quit coffee, according to a study published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition. On the contrary, drink only 0: 3 a day.

Men drinking coffee can help relieve mental decline.
New research shows that drinking coffee can keep the brain healthy. Men who drink three cups of coffee a day have the least mental decline in old age, a decade-long study has found. Researchers at the National Institute of Public Health and Environment in the Netherlands analyzed the mental decline of some older men over the course of a decade. 676 men from many European countries took part in the test.
