Aside from water tea is the world's most popular drink and at the Fourth International Scientific Symposium on Tea and Human Health, which was held in Washington, US, scientists gave a clear suggestion that by drinking more tea it may help prevent Parkinson’s, Alzheimer's and dementia diseases.There are two main ways in which tea can help in health. They are by helping damaged cells repair themselves and to maintain the functioning of brain cells. Professor Carol Greenwood of Nutritional Sciences at the University of Toronto said "When we're looking at dementia prevention from a dietary perspective, we're interested in what you can do for the brain in order to preserve function, and the antioxidant properties of tea is a piece of how we can help, In a recent study it was discovered that by drinking green tea, brain neurons were more easily able to maintain their health, and in so doing, enhanced their capacity to combat stressors. The active ingredient is flavonoids and between 2 and 4 cups are required for effectiveness.
There is still some debate as to whether green tea or black tea is the most effective. It has been concluded, however, that both black and green tea are good for cardiovascular diseases, whereas green tea is specifically beneficial brain related problems.
Jia Tsu Thompson, owner of a tea house said "There's quite a few health benefits from drinking tea: improved digestion, lower blood pressure and cholesterol, enhanced eyesight, weight loss - because it's a diuretic - more energy, and it strengthens your teeth because it's antibacterial."
