Benefits 0f Regular Intake Of Tea

Outcome of recent study at National University of Singapore offer the first evidence of specific development of tea drinking to brain structure, and suggest that drinking tea regularly has a defensive development age-related failure in brain organization," Briefed team leader Assistant Professor Feng Lei, from the Department of Psychological Medicine at the NUS Yong Loo L in School of Medicine.
The research was lugged out together with colleague from the University of Essex and University of Cambridge, and the discovery was published in scientific journal Aging on 14 June 2019.
Past debate have established that tea intake is constructive to human health, and the positive effects include mood advancement and cardiovascular disease avoidance. In fact, results of a long-term study led by Asst. Prof. Feng which was published in 2017 showed that daily consumption of tea can reduce the risk of cognitive decline in older persons by 50 per cent.
Asst. Prof. Feng and his team further explored the direct consequence of tea on brain networks. Succeeding this discovery
The analysis team recruited 36 adults aged 60 and above, and accumulated data about their health, lifestyle, and psychological well-being. Colleague also had to go through neuropsychological tests and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The Research was carried out from 2015 to 2018 and the result came in 2019.
Beginning inspection of the participants' cognitive performance and imaging results, the study team established that individuals who consumed green tea, oolong tea, or black tea at least four times a week for about 25 years had brain regions that were linked in a more efficient way.

Tea is one of the most frequently drink beverages in the world. "Take the analogy of road traffic as an example -- Acknowledge brain regions as harbor, while the connections between brain regions are roads. When a road system is better coordinated, the movement of vehicles and passengers is more efficient and uses fewer resources. Similarly, when the connections between brain regions are more structured, information processing can be achieved more efficiently," explained Asst. Prof. Feng.
We have demonstrated in our earlier studies that tea drinkers had better mental function in comparison to non-tea drinkers. Modern results disclose to brain network diffusely support the previous findings by showing that the positive effects of daily tea drinking are the result of improved brain coordination brought about by preventing interruption to interregional connections."
