New research shows that drinking three to five cups a day dramatically decreases the risk of Alzheimer’s and dementia.
The findings were presented at the European Union Geriatric Medicine Society’s Congress in Lisbon, Portugal. Presenters gathered brain research from across the globe.

Can a simple smell test reveal if you’ll get Alzheimer’s?
Scientists believe that the brain changes behind Alzheimer’s disease start at least 10 years before memory problems set in. But right now there is no easy-to-administer diagnostic test to detect early signs of the brain-wasting illness.
Researchers at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston say they may have discovered a noninvasive way to predict if you’ll get Alzheimer’s.… Read More

That’s why many seniors hang onto their license for as long as they possibly can.… Read More
A substance in red wine may be the key to healthy brain aging, according to a new study.

Historically, it was thought that age-related brain fog came from “resident” brain immune cells.… Read More
