Coffee and memory

Perk up the memory girls with three cups of coffee a day! A new study has found that drinking more than three cups of coffee a day may helped protect older women's memories. The study suggest that coffee protects women from some of the age-related memory decline. The researchers found that the more coffee drank, the better the effects seemed to be on women's memory functioning in particular, but men did not enjoy the same benefit. The effect also appeared to be age related with women over 80 having more benefits from the caffeine beverages than those who were 10 to 15 years younger.
