One of the wishes of every person is to be able to keep a good memory until the old age. However, keeping memories is not easy. The risk of dementia, overall memory loss in elderly is still large.
However, there is a way that might help you avoid the risk of dementia. A study from the National University of Singapore found that drinking tea could reduce the risk of cognitive impairment by up to 50 percent. The decline could even reach 86 percent for adults who have a genetic risk of Alzheimer's disease.
The study was conducted in 957 elderly ethnic Chinese aged over 55 years. "Although the study was conducted on Chinese ethnic elderly, the results can also be applied to other ethnic groups. Our findings have important implications for the prevention of dementia, "said Feng Lei, a researcher.
He said that despite the high-quality drug trials, effective pharmacological therapy for brain neurological disorders such as dementia remains elusive and current prevention strategies are far from satisfactory.
"Tea is one of the most consumed beverages in the world. Data from our study suggest that simple and inexpensive lifestyles such as daily tea can reduce a person's risk of neurocognitive impairment in the elderly, "he said.
