Three Cups a Day: Green Tea May Help Prevent Dementia, Study Reveals

wikitree Views  

Drinking green tea regularly can help prevent dementia.

Japanese researchers have discovered that older adults frequently consume green tea tend to have fewer white matter lesions, a key indicator of dementia.

White matter lesions occur due to poor blood flow in the brain and are known risk factors for stroke and dementia.

The study, conducted from 2016 to 2018, involved 8,766 participants aged 65 and older. Participants completed surveys about their coffee and tea (green and black) consumption habits, while researchers gathered data through brain MRIs.

The results revealed a significant link between reduced white matter lesions and increased green tea consumption among seniors without dementia. No such connection was found with coffee consumption. Those who enjoyed three cups of green tea daily had white matter lesions 3% smaller than those who drank just one cup, while seven to eight cups resulted in 6% smaller lesions.

A 2023 study in China also explored the connection between green tea consumption and reduced stroke risk. People who drank two to four cups of green tea daily showed a 24% decrease in stroke risk. Green tea is packed with catechins, which offer anti-inflammatory and cell-protective benefits, helping lower cancer and stroke risks. Regular green tea drinkers also enjoy lower cholesterol levels and blood pressure, boosting their heart health.

Green tea is helpful for those looking to shed pounds. Its catechins and caffeine work together to accelerate fat breakdown and boost energy expenditure. Catechins activate lipase, an enzyme that helps the body digest fats and discharge them more easily.
