Is Coffee Good for Your Brain?

If you love your morning coffee, but have been nervous about its
effects on your brain health, I have good news.

Here’s the story…

It turns out that coffee may help lower your risk of having a
stroke, especially if it’s a regular part of your diet.

A new study, just published in Stroke: the Journal of the
American Association, seems to show that the more coffee (or
green tea) people drink, the lower their risk of having a stroke.

This is especially good news because, aside from water, coffee
and tea are the most popular beverages in the world. Here’s just
some of what the study found:

People who drank at least one cup of coffee per day had a 20%
lower risk of stroke.

People who drank at least one cup of coffee per day had a 32%
lower risk of intracerebral hemorrhage (this condition causes
about 13% of strokes).

People who drank 2 to 3 cups of green tea each day had a 14%
lower risk of stroke.

DESIGN: The study examined the coffee and green tea drinking
habits of over 82,000 adults, between the ages of 45 to 74, and
followed them for an average of 13 years.

CONCLUSION:  Dale Webb, D.Phil., says: ‘We welcome this study,
which suggests that the benefits of antioxidants in coffee and
green tea offset the potential harm from caffeine. The results
demonstrate higher consumption of green tea and coffee might
reduce the risks for stroke, especially for intracerebral
hemorrhage.’

SUGGESTION: As in all things, moderation is recommended. If you
already drink a cup of coffee each day, this study seems to show
there’s no reason to change that behavior. In fact, your
morning coffee may be helping protect you from a stroke!
