Bitter Coffee Every Morning for senile Opponent

Disease or senile dementia will indeed be experienced by most people in line with age. But according to the study, with a bitter cup of coffee or tea each morning could slow down and the fight against dementia.
Coffee and tea has become a favorite drink for many people around the world. But the beneficial effects of caffeine in coffee as a psychoactive drug that can preserve brain function began to be appreciated recently.
Recent research by international experts from the University of Lisbon and the University of Coimbra, Portugal found that the caffeine in coffee and tea may protect against cognitive decline seen in dementia (senility) and Alzheimer's disease.
"The first epidemiological studies showing an inverse relationship between caffeine consumption with the incidence of Parkinson's disease. Then some further epidemiological studies indicate that moderate amounts of caffeine consumption was also inversely related to cognitive decline associated with aging and the incidence of Alzheimer's disease," said Alexandre de Mendonca, of the Institute of Molecular Medicine and Faculty of Medicine, University of Lisbon, Portugal, as reported from Seniorjournal, Thursday (10/14/2010).
Besides the coffee bitter, bitter tea can also fight against dementia. Laboratory tests found that drinking a cup of black and green tea regularly can inhibit the activity of certain enzymes in the brain which bring on Alzheimer's, which is a form of generative dementia that affects 10 million people around the world.
Based on the journal Phytotherapy Research, Alzheimer's is characterized by a decrease of acetylcholine. Bitter coffee and tea can inhibit the activity of the enzyme acetylcholinesterase (AChE), which breaks down chemicals, or neurotransmitters, and acetylcholine.
Also coffee, black tea and green tea also inhibits the activity of the enzyme butyrylcholinesterase (Buche), which is found in protein deposits in the brains of Alzheimer's.
"Although there is no cure for Alzheimer's, coffee and tea has the potential to become another weapon that is used to treat this disease and slow its growth," said Dr Ed Okello, researchers from the Medicinal Plant Research Centre at Newcastle University, UK.
But remember have coffee or tea every morning just bitter enough. Due to excessive coffee drinking can increase stroke due to damage to blood vessel walls. In pregnant women can increase heart rate, attack the placenta, into the blood circulation and a more severe can cause death.
But drinking coffee in the amount that is not harmful, in fact, may be useful.
