A commonly held misconception is that aging results in an inevitable loss of cognitive abilities and that nothing can be done to halt this decline. While certain areas of thinking do show a normal decline as we age, we can actually intervene and delay it.<\/p>\n
Tea has been used for centuries, initially in China. It has been a concrete fact that tea plays an important role in Chinese culture and it made a name for itself as China\u2019s all-time national drink. The interesting figure of Asians\u2019 lower mortality rates and greater longevity versus the western population is much associated with their love for tea, claiming that tea aids their physical and cognitive abilities.<\/p>\n
There have been various studies conducted over the years to support the premise that regular tea consumption of three (3) or more cups a day is found to have a beneficial impact on cognitive functioning and reduced hippocampal neuronal impairment through the neuro-protective effect of tea polyphenols.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/3″][vc_single_image image=”180″ img_size=”500×500″ alignment=”center” el_class=”blog-img”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text el_class=”blog-content-more”]One clinical study conducted by Dr. Kuriyama, which involved more than 1,000 Japanese respondents aged 70 or older, showed that regularly taking higher amounts of green tea brings a lower occurrence of cognitive deficiency compared with drinkers taking three or fewer cups per week. However, this finding does not include black tea.<\/p>\n
In addition, further research indicates that green tea consumption might even lead to better cognitive performance in community-living older adults even among healthy subjects. No study has yet refuted this finding.<\/p>\n
This new found benefit of tea creates a worldly interest as the strive for youth is prevalent nowadays and health complications are just around the corner. So, cheers for a better working memory as you age and live young with sips of your flavourful tea.[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”180″ img_size=”500×500″ alignment=”center” el_class=”blog-img-mobile”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_raw_html el_class=”source”]U09VUkNFUw==[\/vc_raw_html][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row el_class=”source-content”][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n
