A recent study suggests that coffee might help people with atrial fibrillation (AFib) maintain better cognitive function. AFib is a common heart condition, especially in older adults, and its prevalence is expected to rise. While traditional treatments exist, drinking coffee could offer an easy, at-home solution.
• Drinking more than four cups of coffee daily may help preserve cognitive abilities in AFib patients.
• Those consuming five cups showed over 20% lower inflammation markers compared to those who drank less than one cup.
• Improvements in processing speed and attention were noted, with scores increasing by up to 11% among coffee drinkers.
• Caution is advised for slow metabolizers, as too much caffeine can disrupt sleep patterns.
This discovery is significant as it highlights a simple lifestyle change that could improve the quality of life for those with AFib. Emphasizing coffee's potential benefits may encourage more people to consider their daily habits and how they affect heart health.
