Many peopleas soon as they get out of bed, they think of the coffee. And it is a drink that they need by tradition, to activate from early in the morning and face the rest of the day with more energy or because they really like taste.
Regardless of the reasonwhat is true is that Coffee is part of Spanish culture. So much so that there are certain individuals that, far from taking one to daythey take one at any time, to period (morning, afternoon and night).
Outstanding aspects
Before this panorama, it should be noted that The consumption of more than three coffee cups a day is closely linked With a great cognitive deteriorationmore accelerated, of course, over time in adults over 60 years that already suffer from this condition.
In an investigation carried out by US researchersthe effect of various amounts of coffee in fluid intelligence was analyzed, a measure of the cognitive functions covered Abstract reasoning, recognition of patterns and logical thinking.
To take into account
That is, fluid or liquid intelligence refers to all the mental skills that a person uses to solve new problems without previous knowledge. And it implies The ability to analyze unknown tasks, apply logical reasoning, identify, relate, solve and extrapolate concepts.
“As the saying goes, excesses are bad. Moderate coffee consumption is fine, but it is probably not recommended exceed“said the great researcher Kelsey R. Sewellby Advent Health Research Institute, to the medical publication ‘Medscape‘. And reason is not lacking.
Procedure
Apparently, they divided coffee consumption into three levels: high (four cups or more), moderate (three cups) and null (no cup). In the case of older adults, with respect to those who consumed high coffee levels, people over 60 years who never drink coffee and those that consumed it at a moderate level They showed a slower decrease in fluid intelligence.
As if this were not enough, It was determined that “moderate coffee consumption could act as a protective factor against him cognitive deterioration“. From the discoveries From this research, it can be revealed that ingesting three coffee cups per day can be recommended for older adults whether or not they suffer from any type of cognitive impairment.
