MS News: March 2015
Yes, here’s the March edition already! I will try and update the post each week as it will be a busy month ahead with Brain Awareness Week in Ireland, National MS Education and Awareness Month is an effort by the Multiple Sclerosis Foundation (MSF) and the US National Multiple Sclerosis Society’s MS Awareness Week.
The big news this week is/has been all about coffee. According to the American Academy of Neurology, drinking coffee may be associated with a lower risk of developing multiple sclerosis (MS). Coffee intake may protect against MS, supporting the idea that the drug may have protective effects for the brain,” said study author Ellen Mowry, MD, MCR, with Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine in Baltimore and a member of the American Academy of Neurology.
While it will not help us already diagnosed, it helps others see how MS perhaps can be avoided. Either way, I will continue drinking coffee, and feed my Starbucks hunger for more. MS or not, keep enjoying that cuppa!
