I used to consider coffee consumption to be a mild vice, but there are several ways that caffeinated coffee can benefit the brain:
- Immediate improvements in certain cognitive abilities: reaction time, short-term memory, attention and alertness.
- A lifetime of drinking coffee is correlated with better cognitive function in old age.
- Coffee (including decaf) is an excellent source of antioxidants, which may reduce the risk of developing cognitive impairment.
Keep in mind that drinking too much coffee each day can cause problems like magnesium deficiency or difficulty sleeping, so don’t overdo it.
