The researchers are referring to tea in its purest form, such as green tea, oolong tea and black tea.
The study was done by examining the brain imaging data of 36 adults, aged 60 years old and above, collected through neuropsychological tests and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
The researchers also collected data on their health, lifestyle and physiological well-being. This study was conducted over a period of three years, from 2015 to 2018.
According to the team leader of the research, Assistant Professor Feng Lei from the Department of Psychological Medicine at NUS Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine, the results of this study could also suggest that drinking tea could protect one’s brain from age-related decline.
