rooster59 Posted September 21, 2019 Posted September 21, 2019 Those who drink tea regularly have healthier brains, research shows Written by National University of Singapore Image: REUTERS/Kim Kyung-Hoon Regular tea drinkers have better organized brain regions—something associated with healthy cognitive function—compared to non-tea drinkers, according to new research. “Our results offer the first evidence of positive contribution of tea drinking to brain structure, and suggest that drinking tea regularly has a protective effect against age-related decline in brain organization,” explains Feng Lei, an assistant professor in the psychological medicine department at the Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine at the National University of Singapore. Past studies have demonstrated that tea intake is beneficial to human health, and the positive effects include mood improvement and cardiovascular disease prevention. In fact, results of a 2017 longitudinal study that Feng led showed that daily consumption of tea can reduce the risk of cognitive decline in older persons by 50%. Following this discovery, Feng and his team further explored the direct effect of tea on brain networks.

Popular Post Matzzon Posted September 21, 2019 Popular Post Posted September 21, 2019 This can´t be true. People from one very represented country regarding expats in Thailand are generally in the top 5 of the worlds tea drinkers. They are also the ones most profiled in the news having all from problems to engaging in drunk and violent behaviour. That does not sound healthy to me, so I will choose to not put too much trust into this research. 2 hours ago, JoePai said: I must be drinking the wrong tea ???? Yep, I guess I haven´t found the right weed to put in my water either. 4

Pretty soon, you won’t have tea sent over just like all the other foods coming from Europe..You will only have veggies that grow in the dark ( because of lack of proper sun in the UK ) Such as mushrooms, potatoes, carrots etc..
canuckamuck Posted September 21, 2019 Posted September 21, 2019 Do they mean proper tea like in China/Japan etc, or the stuff some people add to milk and sugar 1
Popular Post Ramdas Posted September 21, 2019 Popular Post Posted September 21, 2019 I literally run on teas, especially green tea ! No sugar and definitely no milk in it ! I wouldn’t want to spoil it’s natural taste, it works for me ???? 5

Yes and Nepal and Taiwan and Sri Lanka, and even Thailand has a good rep from from Mae Salong. but I was having a dig at the practice of adding milk and sugar. 2 1

Of course it has to have milk and sugar. And it's so strong each tea bag works for 3 mugs. (Heladiv tea bags can barely make 2 mugs) 2 1 1
mfd101 Posted September 21, 2019 Posted September 21, 2019 (1) Green tea might obviously have different physiological effects from strong black tea with milk & sugar. (2) There may also be a cultural/social aspect eg tea drinkers might on average have lower alcohol intake ... 1 1

4675636b596f75 Posted September 21, 2019 Posted September 21, 2019 I like Japanese Green Tea. Sometimes Korean Green Tea, but China Black just makes me think of the Chinese that come here. I'll stick to the green. 1
TKDfella Posted September 21, 2019 Posted September 21, 2019 Well, I'm TT. When drinking strong tea I do use milk and just a little sugar. However I do enjoy Earl Grey and the various fruit teas without milk and sugar. However, I am a tea bag user but there is a good reason for this...but that's another story and I wouldn't want to spoil it for those who might think I'm a philistine, ha! 1 1
