Food Therapy: Coffee and Coffee caffeine in Protection Against Degenerated Psychomotor Behavior

Kyle J. Norton



Intake of coffee may have a positive and profound effect in promoting psychomotor behavior, a renowned institute study suggested.

Psychomotor behavior is a set of movement of muscular activity associated with mental processes.

Coffee, a popular and social beverage all over the world, particular in the West, is a drink made from roasted bean from the Coffea plant, native to tropical Africa and Madagascar.

According to the Human Nutrition Research Center on Aging at Tufts University, aged rats (19 months) fed with one of five coffee-supplemented diets (0, 0.165, 0.275, 0.55, and 0.825% of the diet) for 8 weeks, showed a significant performance bet in psychomotor testing (rotarod) and in a working memory task (Morris water maze) nonlinearly.

Diet with 0.55% coffee demonstrated a optimal effect in compared to other coffee treatment groups.

Further evaluation researchers found that the influence of psychological behavior benefits of coffee are not due to caffeine alone, but rather to other bioactive compounds in coffee, as the effects of caffeine alone did not account for the performance improvements in a subsequence study.

More inconstantly, in the animal study of the effect of chronic coffee and caffeine ingestion on cognitive behavior and the antioxidant system in 5 groups of male rats fed for approximately 80 days with different diets: control diet (CD), fed a control diet; 3% coffee diet (3%Co) and 6% coffee diet (6%Co), both fed a diet containing brewed coffee; 0.04% caffeine diet (0.04%Ca) and 0.08% caffeine diet (0.08%Ca), researchers found that both groups fed a control diet supplemented with caffeine, expressed a improved long-term memory when tested with object recognition, but not accompanied by an increase in locomotor and exploratory activities.

Chronic coffee and caffeine ingestion showed a significant improve in production of antioxidant with diminished free radical in lipid peroxidation of brain membranes.

These finding suggested that coffee and caffeine intake demonstrated a greater protection of brain in reduced risk of age-associated decline in the cognitive function, and increased psychomotor behavior.

Dr. Abreu RV, the lead author said, "intake of coffee, similar to caffeine, improved long-term memory when tested with object recognition; however, this was not accompanied by an increase in locomotor and exploratory activities"

Interestingly, some researchers suggested that coffee may have an influence in the protection of cognitive behavior but other factor such as childhood IQ and estimated prior IQ, type of caffeine intake in old age-and social class, should also be taken into account as well.

Taking together, one can believed that coffee may have a extraordinary effect in protected psycho motor function against aging degeneration.
