Remember to drink your coffee

Do you remember how many cups of coffee you drank yesterday? If you do, your recall ability may be due to the fact that you drank those cups in the first place. Allow me -- better still, allow researchers who published their study findings in the peer-reviewed journal Neurology -- to explain.

In a study of over 7,000 older adults, researchers discovered that women age 65 and older who drank at least three or more cups of coffee (or any other caffeinated beverage) per day experienced less memory loss than women who drank only one cup or less per day.

Although it appears that caffeine does not prevent dementia, it may delay some age-related memory loss in older women.
