Studies On Coffee’s Health Perks

A new study found that those with AFib who consumed caffeinated coffee had a 39% reduced risk of AFib recurrence. Another found that 2 to 3 cups of caffeinated coffee a day is linked to better cognitive function and an 18% lower risk of dementia. It also lowers the risk of stroke and cardiovascular disease and is linked to a 15% lower risk of premature death. The polyphenols in black coffee may also reduce the risk of type 2 diabetes. Another study suggests moderate intake of coffee may improve focus and mood and reduce depression and anxiety. These benefits are mostly associated with black coffee; adding excessive sugar or cream may reduce the beneficial effects.

Health Benefits Of Almonds

Almonds provide vitamin E, magnesium, healthy fats and fiber. Recent research showed that eating 2 ounces of almonds a day may help reduce LDL cholesterol, lower diastolic blood pressure and improve metabolic syndrome. It can also reduce cellular damage from oxidative stress. Eating almonds can also help control blood sugar levels, particularly for those with prediabetes. Studies indicate that almonds act as a prebiotic and may boost beneficial bacteria, improving gut health. Eating almonds is also linked to lower BMI, reduced waist size and better hunger control. Their high fiber and protein improve satiety and help with weight management.

Dehydration & Stroke Risk

As people age, they are more prone to dehydration due to a reduced sense of thirst. A new analysis suggests that dehydration may raise the risk of stroke. Researchers studied health record data on more than 3 million adults 80 or older. They identified 560,000 who had experienced dehydration and found these people were four times more likely to have a stroke caused by a hemorrhage, when compared to those who were not dehydrated. They also had twice the risk of a stroke caused by a blood clot and were three times more likely to have a TIA (transient ischemic attack). These results don't prove dehydration causes stroke, but only an association.

Mediterranean Diet & Psoriasis

According to a recent small 16-week study, eating a Mediterranean diet significantly reduces the severity of mild to moderate psoriasis. In the trial, researchers randomly assigned participants to eat either a standard low-fat diet or a Mediterranean diet. The study found that half of those on the Mediterranean diet experienced a 75% reduction in severity and about 25% of that group achieved a 90% reduction. However, none of those in the low-fat diet group showed any improvement. A Mediterranean diet is rich in olive oil, vegetables, fruits, legumes, nuts, whole grains and fish. The study suggests the diet can be an effective adjunct to traditional treatments.
