Older people who regularly drink green tea have fewer brain lesions are characteristic of dementia than those who do not drink it, a new study from Japan has found.

This study adds to the growing evidence that diet plays an important role in brain health, particularly as people age. For older adults looking to protect their brain, adding a few cups of green tea to their daily routine could be a simple and natural way to help maintain cognitive function.

Drinking tea helps with brain health, lowering cerebral white matter lesions. Brain as one gets older, can develop problems like white matter lesions. White matter lesions suggest
