Prevent a Stroke By Drinking Caffeine

Some caffeine addicts may well be on their way to prevent a stroke later in life. A new study out of Sweden revealed that women who consumed more than a cup of caffeinated coffee daily reduced their risk of stroke by 22 to 25 percent.

In the study, researchers followed 34,670 women (ages 49 to 83) for an average 10.4 years. Those that drank little or no caffeinated coffee had an increase instance of stroke. No word if the same would hold true with men but we can just drink more coffee and hope for the best.

This study looked at caffeine naturally found in coffee so to say that energy drinks would prevent a stroke as well would be a bit of a stretch. Sweden was the 6th most caffeinated country last year so it’s a great place to conduct caffeine research. This new study gives some new insight into the health benefits of caffeine and some good evidence that women can prevent a stroke by making caffeinated coffee a big part of the diet.
