What Was I About To Say?

What was I about to say? - Oh yes ...

Coffee !!

My essential espresso machine - I wouldnt survive without it.

According to the results of a new study, drinking three cups of coffee daily could help keep Alzheimer's disease at bay.

In that case, there is hope for me yet, for with the amount of coffee I have drunk, I must be covered for about the next three lifetimes.

Research has shown that people with mild cognitive impairment (MCI), or memory loss, who had high levels of caffeine in their blood did not go on to development dementia.
Scientists at the University of South Florida and the University of Miami monitored people aged between 65 and 88, testing their blood caffeine levels and their cognitive ability for two to four years.
The findings, published in the Journal of Alzheimers Disease, indicate that coffee, offers some protection against the onset of Alzheimer's disease.

The authors of the study wrote -
"This case-control study provides the first direct evidence that coffee intake is associated with a reduced risk of dementia or delayed onset, particularly for those who already have MCI."

Besides, coffee offers us the perfect option of heaven ...
