A cup of coffee help overcome numbness

[TIPS] A cup of strong coffee may have more benefits than just making people awake until morning, drink it also can prevent people stricken with multiple sclerosis / MS (multiple sclerosis).

Some researchers in Oklahoma found that mice appeared to be protected from conditions such as MS-numb on the whole body by drinking six to eight cups of coffee per day. "These are exciting findings and unexpected, and I think it may be important for the study of MS and other diseases," said Linda Thompson, of Oklahoma Medical Researh Foundation.

Caffeine prevents adenosine, one of the four building blocks in DNA, mixed with its receptor in mice. Adenosine is a common molecule in humans and plays a major role in helping to control the biochemical processes for sleep and suppressing arousal. These findings may have important implications for other auto-immune diseases like lupus and arthritis, researchers said.

However, there is still much work to be done in further studies because the mice are not humans, so maybe not too convincing whether caffeine will have the same effect in people susceptible to MS without further testing. As many as 2.5 million people worldwide are thought to suffer from multiple sclerosis, disorders of the central nervous system resulting in loss of muscle coordination.
