KOAT health expert Dr. Barry Ramo has kind of good news we all like. That is, that a habit you’ve enjoyed your whole life is actually good for you in the best possible way.
“I’ve always looked at caffeinated coffee as a health food because it has so many bioactive ingredients that are good for your health,” Ramo said. “It’s also been associated with longer life and generally good health, but now we have some exciting new information.”
The source is this week’s edition of the Journal of the American Medical Association, which has the results of a study of whether regular coffee consumption by 130,000 health care providers is associated with a lower risk of Alzheimer’s Disease.
“Researchers found that those individuals who were drinking one to five eight-ounce cups of coffee a day had a 20% reduction in the risk for Alzheimer’s Disease,” Ramo said. “Those individuals who only drank one cup of coffee a day had a 15% reduction and, looking at tea, drinking one-and-a-half cups of caffeinated tea also was associated with a 15% reduction in the risk for Alzheimer’s.”
The doctor’s prescription sounds pretty good, don’t you think?
“If you like coffee and you don’t have problems with caffeine,” Ramo said, ” caffeinated coffee seems like a good choice for brain health.”
