COFFEE and the MIND

Researchers in Austria have found out that coffee modulates short term working memory. Short-term memory serves as

a temporary storage of information in the brain and is required to remember things for a short period of time, like

repeating a phone number to yourself before you can dial it on a phone.

Drinking coffee also benefits your memory in the long run. In France, women who drank 3 or more cups of coffee

daily were 30% less likely to have memory problems at age 65 than women who drank a single cup of coffee or less.

BE aware, drinking tea produces the same effect, but according to the study, you would have to drink about 2 cups of

tea for every one of coffee.
