Results of the follow-up exams showed that participants who drank more coffee saw positive effects on brain health, specifically in planning, self-control, and attention. Researchers also noted that higher coffee consumption also appeared to slow down the buildup of amyloid protein in the brain, which is closely associated with the onset of Alzheimer's disease. And perhaps most importantly, data showed that even a modest increase in consumption could yield these significant benefits.
"If the average cup of coffee made at home is 240g [or roughly one eight-ounce cup], increasing to two cups a day could potentially lower cognitive decline by eight percent after 18 months," Gardener said. "It could also see a five percent decrease in amyloid accumulation in the brain over the same time period."
