New research from APC Microbiome Ireland, a world leading research centre at University College Cork, has comprehensively explored the mechanisms behind coffee’s positive effects on the gut-brain axis for the first time.
Findings of new research suggest regular coffee consumption may contribute to improved health in older adults. Researchers found habitual coffee consumption was associated with a reduced risk of frailty - defined by presence of weight loss, weakness, exhaustion, slow walking speed, or low physical activity. The research is the first to analyse the relationship between coffee consumption and the underlying components of frailty.
