Drinking coffee can reduce the risk of dementia, even if a person has atrial fibrillation (AF), a new study has claimed.

The hobby of drinking coffee is not just limited to sleeplessness, but it can also be beneficial for the health of your brain. Researchers at the University Hospital Zurich in Switzerland have claimed in a new study that drinking coffee can reduce the risk of dementia, even if a person has heart disease 'atrial fibrillation' (AF).

The research involved 2,413 participants, all of whom suffered from atrial fibrillation (AF). It is a condition in which the heartbeat becomes abnormally fast or irregular. Atrial fibrillation is often considered to be the cause of dementia and memory problems.

According to the results of

the research, people who drank up to five cups of coffee daily were found to have better cognitive functions. These participants scored 11% better in tests related to memory, attention and processing speed. The researchers found that these people had an average of 6.7 years younger brains, which means they were more alert and sharper brains. The study also found that participants who drank coffee regularly had 20 per cent lower levels of inflammation. These markers of inflammation are associated with Alzheimer's and atrial fibrillation.

Heart patients can also drink coffee

, says lead author of the research, Prof. Scott Smith "The benefits of coffee are already proven, but our research shows it could also reduce the mental risk of atrial fibrillation," said Dr. Gerg H. Beer, Ph.D. He also said that limited consumption of coffee is not harmful for heart patients.

However, the researchers emphasized that this study is based on only one period of data. More in-depth and expanded research is needed to prove that coffee can prevent long-term mental decline.
