New Delhi, March 15 (IANS). In 2023, a study was published in the Journal of Neuroopidamiology. According to this study, more than one crore population of India is struggling with dementia (dementia). This is equal to data recorded in countries like America, Britain. At the same time, a research published in the Journal Lancet Public Health in 2022 claims that by 2050, there may be a 197 per cent increase in dementia or dementia patients in India, which will cross the number of 1 crore figures of patients suffering from this disease in the country. But there is also an island in the world where the number of dementia patients is negligible!
By the way, there are many lifestyle options that can reduce the risk of dementia – including a good diet, regular exercise, socially introducing and keeping your mind active. But apart from this, a habit can save you. Recent research shows that there is a beverage that can reduce your risk by drinking only a few sips. A study conducted in Japan found that the elderly who regularly consume green tea, reduce the damage to the white substance (cerebral white) of their brain. It affects disadvantage cognitive skills which is also a major indicator of dementia.
Indeed, the researchers asked around 9,000 adults to fill a questionnaire about their coffee and tea drinking habits and used brain scanning to analyze their figures.
Although they found no evidence that consumption of coffee could prevent cognitive decline, their results concluded them to conclude that drinking green tea – especially three or more glasses – can help prevent dementia.
These findings match previous studies, which believed that the intake of green tea can protect you from cognitive decline. Meta-analysis of 2022 showed that each one cup of green tea reduces the risk of dementia by 6%. Another recent study has shown that drinking two to three cups of green tea daily reduces the risk of cognitive decline – although the same effect was not seen after drinking four cups or more.
Perhaps this is why Green Tea is considered to be a reason for the problem of dementia in the elders of the Greek island Ikaria. The main reason behind this is that green tea is rich in antioxidants – especially a catecin such as epigalocatechin gallets – which have inflammatory and cell -protective properties, which potentially reduce the risk of cancer and stroke.
Regular intake of green tea works well, which reduces cholesterol levels and reduces high blood pressure. This reduces the risk of heart disease and stroke. A 2023 study found that those who consume two to four cups of green tea per day, reduce the risk of stroke by 24%.
