If you worry about your brain health as you age, then you must read this article.
It’s not just about wanting to prevent those embarrassing “senior moments” or improving your memory.
More importantly, it’s about reducing your risk of brain-destroying diseases, like Alzheimer’s, dementia and strokes.
You might be surprised to learn that…
You can play a proactive role in mantaining good brain health, instead of just leaving it to chance or genetics.
Let me show you how you can take control of your brain health by first exploring the three daily foods that can help prevent strokes.
A Coffee a Day Can Keep the Stoke Away!
In May 2013, a new study published in Stroke: the Journal of the American Association seems to show that the more coffee people drink, the lower their risk of having a stroke.

This is especially good news because, aside from water, coffee is one of the most popular beverages in the world.
The comprehensive study, “The Impact of Green Tea & Coffee Consumption on the Reduced Risk of Stroke Incidence in Japanese Population”…
Examined the coffee and green tea drinking habits of over 82,000 adults, between the ages of 45 to 74, and followed them for an average of 13 years.
Here’s just some of what the study found about those who habitually drink coffee:
- People who drank at least one cup of coffee per day had a 20% lower risk of stroke.
- People who drank at least one cup of coffee per day had a 32% lower risk of intra-cerebral hemorrhage (this condition causes about 13% of strokes).
You’re probably asking, what about the effects of caffeine? Isn’t that bad for you?
According to Dale Webb, PhD, a researcher in the study, the benefits of antioxidants in coffee offset the potential harm from caffeine.
The study also states that coffee also has other beneficial properties:

“Coffee also contains chlorogenic acid and quinides, which may reduce body weight and blood glucose tolerance.
In a prospective study, higher coffee consumption may reduce the incidence of diabetes mellitus.
In our study, higher coffee consumption had a lower prevalence of diabetes mellitus.”
So, not only can coffee help you prevent stoke, it can also help you lose weight and prevent diabetes!
Enjoy that advice?
Let’s take a look at the next drink that can also help you reduce the risk of stroke.
Fancy a Cup of Tea? Yes, please!
The same study also showed that green tea was equally beneficial to reduce the risk of stroke. Results showed that:
- People who drank 2 to 3 cups of green tea each day had a 14% lower risk of stroke.
- Moderate consumers of green tea are less likely to develop hypertension.

So does green tea, like coffee, have any other benefits? You bet it does.
According to the research paper:
“Green tea contains catechins, especially (-)-epigallocatechin-3-gallate…
Which exerts vascular-protective effects through multiple mechanisms, including antioxidative, anti-inflammatory, antiproliferative —
Increasing the plasma antioxidant capacity, and antithrombogenic effects.”
In other words, green tea accelerates healing, helps prevent cancer, and is anti-aging too!
Good Things Come in Moderation
As in all things, moderation is recommended.

If you already drink a cup of coffee or green tea each day, this study seems to show there’s no reason to change that behavior.
In fact, your morning coffee or green tea may be helping protect you from a stroke.
