Most likely you haven’t be told to drink wine to Most likely you haven’t be told to drink wine to ward off dementia, but research from Loyola University Chicago’s Stritch School of Medicine has suggested that moderate social drinking significantly reduces the risk of dementia and cognitive impairment. ​ The research team’s findings, published in the 2011 issue of Neuropsychiatric Disease and Treatment, indicate that moderate drinkers (defined as a maximum of one glass of red wine a day for women and one to two for men) were 23% less likely to develop Alzheimer’s disease or exhibit signs of serious memory problems than non-drinkers. ​ Cheers to that! 🍷

According to Dr. Chuanhai Cao of the Byrd Alzheime According to Dr. Chuanhai Cao of the Byrd Alzheimer’s Center & Research Institute at University of South Florida, coffee is not just a beverage, it is also a “herbal medicine.” As is the case with any herbal medicines, the appropriate dosage at the right time is critical. “A lot of people wake up and drink a cup of coffee. That’s a bad habit. You have to eat food first and then drink coffee,” says Dr. Cao. On an empty stomach, the caffeine “gets into the bloodstream in a short time and accelerates your metabolism rate,” which may be the cause of the abnormal response experienced by some coffee drinkers. Consuming coffee in the late afternoon is also problematic because it interferes with the function of melatonin in the brain, which regulates sleep. How much coffee is good for you depends upon your metabolism rate. Generally speaking, on average, two eight-ounce cups of regular coffee works for most people, notes Dr. Cao. However, this amount will also depend on the strength of the coffee. Dr. Cao and his colleagues are currently working on a standardized coffee formulation so that people will know exactly how much to consume.
