Give Your Brain a Tea Break
A steaming cup of black or green tea, the comforting drink of choice for millions of people around the world, may also help to treat or prevent Alzheimer’s disease.

Laboratory test found that regular consumption of green and/or black tea inhibits the activity of certain enzymes on the brain that are implicated on the development of Alzheimer’s diseases.

Researchers from the Medicinal plant Research Center at New Castle University tested coffee as well as green and black tea, for beneficial effect in patients with dementia.

This study found that coffee had no significant effect, but both back and green tea especially inhibited the activity of enzymes associated with the development of Alzheimer’s.

Although tea alone almost certainly will not cure Alzheimer’s disease, it could possible another tool used to treat or prevent this increasingly common and devastating disease.
