FALLEN TREE. FOLLOW THE POSTED DETOUR BACK TO YOU. CLAIRE. THANK YOU. TIME NOW IS 8 17 AND THIS MORNING'S HEALTHWATCH COFFEE CONTAINS MANY BENEFICIAL COMPOUNDS. RESEARCHERS HAVE FOUND THAT DRINKING ANY AMOUNT OF COFFEE REDUCES THE RISK OF ACUTE KIDNEY INJURY. BUT HAVING 2 TO 3 CUPS PER DAY IS MOST BENEFICIAL THOUGHTS. MEDICAL TEAMS, DR MIKE JOINS US NOW WITH THAT AND MORE. DR MIKE IS SO GOOD TO SEE YOU. ALWAYS A PLEASURE, MARISA. YOU KNOW, IF I WERE IN THAT LIMO, I WOULD HAVE SAVED THE COFFEE. I WOULD HAVE PROBABLY LEFT THE BEER BUT GOT THE COFFEE. YOU KNOW WHY? WHY? YEAH THE HECK WITH THE PURSE SAID THAT DID THE COFFEE HAS SO MANY WONDERFUL BENEFICIAL THINGS. AND YOU KNOW, I WAS TALKING TO MY SON THE OTHER DAY, AND HE COULDN'T REMEMBER WHERE THE LIVER WAS. I ALWAYS LIKE TO SHOW PEOPLE. SO THIS STUDY. I HOPE YOU CAN SEE IT. I REMOVED SOME PARTS OF MY FRIEND BOB HERE AND THE KIDNEYS ARE RIGHT DOWN HERE.
AND THEY'RE WONDERFUL ORGANS. THEY DO SO MANY THINGS FOR US AND COFFEE WAS FOUND EVEN IN SMALL AMOUNTS EVERY DAY TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ACUTE KIDNEY INJURY AND SO COFFEE YET AGAIN, IT'S A VERY BENEFICIAL COMPOUNDS. WELL THANKS FOR BOB FOR SHARING HIS HIS BODY WITH US, SO YOU CAN MAKE IT PLAIN HERE ON TELEVISION. EXPLAIN TO ME THOUGH. THE LINK BETWEEN THE TWO WHY IS THAT WHEN IT COMES TO 32 TO 3 CUPS OF COFFEE A DAY. WELL THAT THAT'S KIND OF A NOBEL PRIZE WINNING QUESTION, AND THE BOTTOM LINE IS THAT WE THINK IT HAS TO DO WITH INCREASED BLOOD FLOW TO THE KIDNEYS, PERHAPS ALL OF THE ANTIOXIDANTS AND POLY PHENOLS AND ANTI INFLAMMATORY PROPERTIES OF COFFEE.
ALSO IT MIGHT BE CAFFEINE, WHICH MAY INCREASE BLOOD FLOW. TO THE KIDNEYS, SO ALL OF THOSE ARE POSSIBILITIES, BUT THEY ALL WORK WONDERS AS LONG MARISSA AS YOU DO NOT TURN IT INTO A TOXIC SWILL WITH HEAVY HEAVY CREAM AND TONS OF SUGAR AND ALL OF THAT STUFF, DON'T DO IT. THAT'S WHERE YOU GET IN TROUBLE. YOU'RE RIGHT MODERATION AS WELL. LET'S TALK ABOUT ALZHEIMER'S NOW BECAUSE I WANT TO GET YOUR TAKE ON THIS. SCIENTISTS HAVE RECENTLY DISCOVERED THAT A GENE APPEARS TO INCREASE THE CHANCE OF THE DISEASE AND WOMEN. CAN YOU TELL US MORE? WELL I KNOW THIS ILLNESS WELL, BECAUSE UNFORTUNATELY, MY MOTHER HAD SUFFERED FROM ALZHEIMER'S BOTTOM LINE IS THIS IS A VERY IMPORTANT DISCOVERY. WE KNOW THAT TWO THIRDS OF PEOPLE WITH OUTSIDERS ARE WOMEN AND THIS GENE THAT THEY FOUND MGMT ACTUALLY DOES NOT SEEM TO IMPART. INCREASED RISK IN MEN. IT'S IN WOMEN. SO IF WE ARE ABLE THEN TO TAKE THIS PIECE OF DATA AND DO MORE RESEARCH ON IT, WE MIGHT BE ABLE TO UNLOCK SOME OF THE KEYS IN TERMS OF HOW TO TREAT ALZHEIMER'S. NOW WE KNOW THERE'S NO CURE RIGHT NOW.
SO WHAT YOU NEED TO DO IS TAKE CARE OF YOUR BODY BY REDUCING THINGS LIKE CHOLESTEROL EXERCISE SLEEP. PEOPLE ARE SLEEP DEPRIVED LIKE ME HAVE AN INCREASED RISK FOR ALZHEIMER'S, BECAUSE YOU DON'T GIVE THE BRAIN THAT ABILITY TO REPAIR ITSELF AT NIGHT, SO IF YOU DO THOSE THINGS YOU'RE INVESTING IN YOUR HEALTH FOUR OH, ONE K, BUT THIS IS AN IMPORTANT DISCOVERY. ESPECIALLY IN WOMEN THAT MAY LEAD TO FURTHER AH FINDINGS DOWN THE ROAD BECAUSE WE COULD SOON SEE DOCTORS LOOKING TO DETECT THAT GENE. AND COMING UP WITH POSSIBLY A RISK REDUCTION PLAN FOR PATIENTS MOVING FORWARD. YOU GOT IT. DR MIKE. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR TIME AND YOUR EXPERTISE AS ALWAYS. HONORED AND PRIVILEGED TO BE HERE. LOVE YOU. YOU'RE THE BEST MURDER. ALRIGHT.
