Based on the fact that Alzheimer's disease is one of the deadliest diseases of all, scientists are working hard to find a cure for it . Furthermore, according to scientific findings, the rate of occurrence of Alzheimer's disease in humans is increasing day by day. Furthermore, this disease is so deadly that it is the sixth leading cause of death in the United States and more than five million people in America are living with this disease (Alz.org). Furthermore, “in 2012, 15.4 million healthcare workers provided more than 17.5 billion hours of unpaid care valued at $216 billion” (Alz.org). But there are some ways a person can prevent or reduce the risk of contracting this deadly disease. The first way to reduce your risk of Alzheimer's disease is to drink caffeinated coffee every day because caffeinated coffee contains a mystery ingredient that increases protection against Alzheimer's disease. illness. The mystery ingredient is GCSF, a growth factor that increases blood levels in caffeinated coffee. Furthermore, “GCSF is a significantly decreased substance in Alzheimer's disease patients and has been shown to improve memory in Alzheimer's mice.” Additionally, USF neuroscientist Dr. Chuanhai Cao said that “exactly how (the increased GCSF increase occurs when someone drinks caffeinated coffee) is not understood. There is a synergistic interaction between caffeine and some mysterious components of coffee that provide this beneficial increase in GCSF levels in the blood” (Cao). Additionally, scientists discovered three ways in which GCSF appears to improve memory performance in Alzheimer's mice. First, GCSF recruits stem cells from the bone marrow to enter the brain and remove the harmful amyloid beta protein that creates the disease. GCSF also creates new connections between brain cells and... the focus of the article...
