What are the effects of drinking tea on the brain?

 Some people think that making tea a habit is beneficial for the body while some consider it harmful.

And now science has revealed that making this hot drink a habit can be beneficial for mental health.

In a study published in the medical journal Impact Journals LLC , the research team analyzed the effects of tea drinking habits on brain structure and asked a group of volunteers to fill out a questionnaire on hot drink habits.

The group of volunteers was then divided into 2 groups, one consisting of tea drinkers and the other consisting of people living away from tea.

The brains of these individuals were scanned for MRI.

The results showed that people who drank tea had lower levels of hemispheric asymmetry in the connectivity network of the brain, an increase in this level in previous research reports linked to a rapid increase in brain age.

Similarly, the default mode network connection of tea drinkers' brains was stronger, it is the part of the brain that analyzes information such as future planning and thinking about others.

The researchers said that the results suggest that drinking tea improves brain function, which helps the brain to function better and slows down the effects of aging on the brain.

Keep in mind that this research was done on a small scale i.e. 15 people who drank tea and 21 people who stayed away from this drink, so more research is needed in this regard.

But research from the National University of Singapore last month also found that the habit of drinking tea helped keep brain parts better organized and healthy brain function better than those who stayed away from the drink.

The study analyzed the brain data of 36 people, and according to the researchers, the results provide the first evidence of a positive effect on the brain structure of tea drinking habits.

The University of Singapore teamed up with Essex and Cambridge University in the UK for this research.

He said that by making it a habit to drink tea, it is possible to prevent the decline in brain activity due to aging.
