Research shows that caffeine is beneficial to the brain in several ways.
Improved Cognitive Function. Caffeine is a stimulant, and can increase short-term mental attention, memory, and reaction time.
Protection Against Alzheimer's Disease. Scientists have linked the disruptive effects of high cholesterol in the brain to Alzheimer's Disease. Caffeine blocks high cholesterol from reaching the brain. Just one cup of coffee per day could protect the blood-brain barrier (BBB) from such damage.
Free Radical Annihilator. Coffee also contains antioxidants, which are important to reducing cell oxidation, cell damage, and aging throughout the body.
