Coffee, including decaffeinated versions, may have potential benefits for gut health, despite concerns about the processing methods used to remove caffeine. Different methods like methylene chloride, water, supercritical carbon dioxide, and ethyl acetate are used to decaffeinate coffee beans, all considered safe. Decaf coffee still retains health properties like polyphenols and fiber, making it a nearly equal option to regular coffee without the side effects.

Brain Ageing Comes In Waves At These 3 Ages, Science Says
A recent study published in Nature found that our brains may go through three bursts of accelerated ageing, with peaks in protein levels occurring at ages 57, 70, and 78. The research, based on nearly 11,000 MRI scans and blood samples, suggests a connection between specific proteins and predicted brain ageing, particularly pointing to the protein brevican. While testing blood protein levels at these ages could potentially be a protective factor against conditions like dementia,...
