7000 of French men and women took part in this research.Coffee can save the memory by middle aged women
According to new French researches, three cups of tea or coffee will help middle aged women to save their memory.
The research people, including Dr. Karen Richie from French National Institute for Health and Medical Research (INSERM) in Montpellier, has studied 7000 men and women from 65 years old and elder, in three French cities – Bordeaux, Dijon and Montpellier.
At first, participants were asked about number of cups of tea or coffee per day. The medicines, which contain caffeine, were also taken into account. Some of them used cola and cacao, which comprise caffeine too.
There were some memory tests, where it was necessary to remember a list of words. After two, then after four years, tests were repeated. Women who reported at the beginning of the study that they drink at least three cups of coffee or tea per day, have shown better results than those women who drink less than one cup of tea or coffee. The benefit of caffeine best of all was shown in the preservation of verbal memory. The results did not depend on coffee or tea preference.
But for all that, caffeine did not affect the risk of imbecility development, including Alzheimer’s disease. Researchers have noticed that, perhaps, the study was not enough long to identify such dependence.
As for men, the data have shown that caffeine did not affect the test results. Researchers concluded that women are more susceptible to the caffeine useful properties.
Meanwhile, caffeine consumption could accompany some other positive habits, which affect memory. The scientists did not preclude such possibility, and polls have not detected such regularity.
In any case, such studies, which based on observations, do not allow find cause and effect. That is, doctors have not performed direct experiments with caffeine, in order to see how it affects the women memory.
