The "miracle" coffee that reduces the risk of Alzheimer's disease

A strong espresso can do much more than "wake us up" to start the day. According to research published in the "Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry", some compounds in coffee can block a pathological process that occurs in the brain and prepares the onset of Alzheimer's disease.

Relevant studies have recently found that coffee has a beneficial effect against various neurodegenerative diseases, including Alzheimer's disease, but without "illuminating" the exact mechanisms involved in the positive results. Characteristically, a study from Edith Cowan University found that drinking coffee provided positive effects on specific brain functions such as executive functions related to planning, self-control and attention, while slowing the accumulation of beta-amyloid protein in the brain. a key factor in the development of Alzheimer's disease.

Recent research from the University of Verona in Italy, led by Mariapina D'Onofrio, has shown through preliminary in vitro laboratory tests that ingredients in espresso coffee can inhibit the accumulation of Tau protein (tau) in fibrils within the cytoplasm of neurons. (neurofibrillar aggregates) which, like β-amyloid protein, are associated with Alzheimer's disease. In healthy organisms, Tau protein allows stabilization of brain structures./ CNA
