You may want to rethink that morning cup of coffee if you have high blood pressure.
Caffeine causes a temporary increase in blood pressure in people who do not consume it regularly. However, research shows that even with regular consumption about half of all people continue to experience spikes from consuming it. If you have high blood pressure or are at risk for it, consider nixing the colas, coffees, teas, and other treats that contain caffeine.
Alzheimer’s disease is an irreversible progressive brain disease that slowly destroys memory and thinking skills, and eventually even the ability to carry out the simplest task.
In most people with Alzheimer’s, symptoms first appear after age 60. Caring for a person with Alzheimer’s disease can have high physical, emotional, and financial costs. Becoming well-informed about the disease is one important long-term strategy.
