![]() ... that coffee may be an effective treatment for Parkinson's Disease... and an overall health panacea?
Caffeine fiends don't have the best reputation. While it's true that caffeine can be habit-forming, over 21,000 studies carried out in the last 60 years prove despite the stereotypes about jitters and crankiness, the benefits of caffeine consumption far outweigh the downsides.
One of the most recent of those studies, from the McGill University Health Centre, found that caffeine gives people suffering from Parkinson's disease better control of their movements. This could offer extraordinary hope to those who suffer from Parkinson's, due to the cruel way in which that disease robs its victims of the ability to control their bodies. In addition, previous studies have even shown that caffeine drinkers have a lower risk of developing Parkinson's.
"Until now, no study had looked at the immediate clinical implications of this finding," says lead author, Dr. Ronald Postuma. The motor symptoms of patients given caffeine supplements improved by a full 5 points on the Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale. The two areas where the improvements were most marked were speed of movement and reduction in stiffness.
And Parkinson's is hardly the only condition now known to benefit from caffeine. In fact, a recent article in The Atlantic actually called coffee "a panacea." Here's what science has to say about the controversial and frequently maligned beverage.
A Cup of Coffee A Day...
![]() In scientific terms, caffeine is a psychomotor stimulant. When we take in caffeine—by drinking a cup of coffee, for example—we become less tired and more alert because of caffeine's effect on the central nervous system and cardiovascular system.
Aside from its potential as a Parkinson's treatment, caffeine comes with a profusion of positive health impacts. Top among those are...
![]() Improved liver function.
![]() Enhanced memory.
![]() Speedier muscular recovery.
![]() Decreased risk of heart disease.
Furthermore, caffeine is well recognized as an effective aid to weight loss, which is why it frequently appears on the ingredient list of the most potent weight loss supplements.
When to "Say When"
"If you like coffee, go ahead and drink as much as you want and can," says Dr. Peter Martin, director of the Institute for Coffee Studies at Vanderbilt University. Martin says if you're having trouble sleeping, subtract one cup from your daily habit, preferably the last one of the day.
With all this talk about the health benefits of coffee, it's important to remember we're discussing the beans. Any extras you might be fond of (cream and sugar, anyone?) may compromise the beverage's beneficial nature.

This Super Nutrient Stops Cognitive Decline and
Eliminates the Onset of Dementia
Forgot your glasses on the top of your head again? As we age we often have more "head-in-the-clouds" moments than we did when we were younger. There are the simple explanations for these "senior moments"—you probably do ![]() have more on your plate, more to think about, more to worry about—and so naturally it is more difficult to remember where you parked the car or what you did with your keys. But the scientific truth is, every time we can't remember someone's name or recall a familiar memory, our brain is actually signaling for help. Innocent "brain slips" today often evolve into very serious memory loss conditions in the future.
There are approximately 24 million people worldwide living with some form of dementia, a number that could grow to 84 million by the year 2040. It is essential now, more than ever, to provide our brains with the necessary amounts of nutrients it needs to remain strong and vital throughout our entire lives; to sharpen our minds at every age and prevent bouts of forgetfulness; and to avoid being a part of those alarming statistics.
Let's first understand the scientific explanation behind these bouts of forgetfulness.
Where Do Memories Live Anyway—and How Do Our Brains Retrieve Them?
Our memories aren't neatly stored in one area of the brain, but are scattered throughout, ![]() just waiting for a brain cell to come and collect them. Our brain cells are constantly chattering with one another, sending signals to retrieve memories.
As the brain ages, this cell-to-cell communication gradually deteriorates, and at a much younger age than anyone would have imagined! By age 39 the communication rate between brain cells significantly begins to slow. Although we may not experience any serious symptoms in our thirties and forties, age-related impairment is still occurring. Autopsy results at John Hopkins and other medical centers confirm the gradual effects of aging on the brain: The autopsies of subjects who had demonstrated no signs of forgetfulness or lack of focus while alive, still showed signs of memory-loss damage.
The Culprit?
We've all heard mention of the havoc free radicals can reek on our bodies; the cosmetics industry has made a fortune marketing products designed to combat the damaging effects of these molecules. Free radicals are also one of the main culprits behind an aging brain.
These highly reactive molecules are a normal byproduct of cell function. What makes them dangerous is their extra electron, which doesn't want to be without a partner. Free radicals steal electrons from healthy cells and tissues. Left defenseless, these once healthy cells are no longer able to function properly and, if left depleted, eventually die.
Fortunately, our bodies come with a built-in defense system of antioxidants, which cancel out free radical damage by donating extra electrons before free radicals can swipe electrons from our cells. Unfortunately, this defense system is not enough.
While our bodies are able to counteract the effects of free radicals produced within the body, they are unable to deal with the barrage of free radicals from outside the body, such as air pollution from industrial waste and cigarette smoke, lack of sleep, stress ... even too much sunlight! Our antioxidant supply ![]() is exhausted, sparking inflammation and aging in the body and the brain.
Chronic, low-level inflammation is a contributing agent to 7 of the top 10 leading causes of mortality in the United States, including Alzheimer's disease.
While we can prevent memory loss and its consequences—including poor concentration, confusion and a tired mind—by feeding our brain the necessary antioxidants it needs to neutralize free radicals, these antioxidants are not readily available in the foods we eat or in the supplements we take.
Traditional antioxidants, such as vitamins C and E, while effectively eradicating free radicals in the body, do nothing to battle the free radicals that threaten our brains. These typical antioxidants cannot get past the blood brain barrier, a protective wall that shields the brain from harmful toxins. Regrettably, the blood brain barrier is so effective that it keeps the beneficial antioxidants out as well.
There is, however, a newly reported antioxidant that has demonstrated an exceptional capacity at infiltrating the blood brain barrier and protecting against inflammation and memory loss.
Key Nutrient for Protection Against Brain Inflammation and Memory Loss
Researchers from Tohuku University in Japan studied 30 healthy men and women, ages 50 to 69 years, to measure the effects of a key omega-3 fatty acid derived from marine algae, on overall cognitive functioning. The results, published in the British Journal of Nutrition, showed that this key nutrient not only reached the brain at a far greater rate than other antioxidants, but also reduced the levels of free radical compounds proven to cause dementia.
This single nutrient alone, while extremely beneficial, still does not provide complete protection against memory loss. When enhanced with potent essential amino acids, phospholipids, B vitamins and chemical neurotransmitters, the beneficial results are astounding.
Use of this powerful combination of this supercharged nutrient, potent essential amino acids, phospholipids, B Vitamins and chemical neurotransmitters has shown enhancements in people's mental faculties, and within a couple of days of use, people have reported increased...
![]() mental alertness and clarity
![]() focus and concentration
![]() recall of facts, dates, times, and names
![]() aptitude at "mental master" games that involve memory and concentration
Memory loss doesn't have to be a normal symptom of aging
Protecting your memories and improving your mental capacity is doable—and without drugs, learning CDs or frustrating memory games! ![]()
Popular author, board certified dietician/nutritionist, chiropractor and "Doctor to the Stars," Dr. Allan H. Pressman, who has interviewed leading health experts such as Deepak Chopra and Dr. Atkins, calls this miracle marine-based nutrient, "the future superstar of nutrition for a healthy brain. In fact, after seeing the incredible results I can confidently say ... yes, you can give yourself a "better brain"—no matter what your age!"
