Improve concentration by drinking tea
The researchers found that older people who drank more than five cups of tea a day had better brain function and a greater focus and attention span.
The study found that people who enjoyed drinking tea and drank more than five cups of tea a day were more focused and had a higher attention span.
The researchers also said that the psychological skills of such people are better. The researchers found that such people performed better in tests of accuracy and speed of reaction, which could help them complete daily activities such as completing a jigsaw puzzle, sewing or driving.
Previous research has also shown the health benefits of tea that tea consumption can lower blood pressure and cholesterol and may even help you lose weight. In this study, Dr. Edward Okello, a researcher at the Center for Human Nutrition Research at the University of Newcastle, conducted a new experiment to better understand the effect of this drink on the brain.
Researchers studying tea drinking habits in people over the age of 85 found that people who drank more than five cups of tea a day (with or without milk) performed better in some cognitive tests.
The researchers used data from the Newcastle 85+ study, which involved more than 1,000 people over the age of 85 from Newcastle and North Tyneside. The study began in 2006 and continues to this day, with 200 participants turning 100 during this time.
By studying the consumption of black tea called Camellia sinensis, the researchers sought evidence to find information about its protective role against cognitive decline.
They found that consuming more tea was associated with improved attention skills and significant psychomotor speed in performing complex tasks. But they found no correlation between tea consumption and general memory measurements or how memory works in simple, fast-paced tasks.
The researchers said that these findings mean that black tea should be considered for the very elderly in any diet that aims to improve the attention and mental-motor speed of the elderly.
“We now know that drinking a cup of tea not only quenches thirst but also improves the attention span of people over the age of 85,” said Dr. Oklo.
