Why
Whether you take your tea with milk or lemon, sweetened or plain, there’s one way you should consider taking your tea: GREEN. Green tea has potential health benefits. For instance, consuming a lot of tea, especially green tea, was significantly associated with a lower prevalence of cognitive impairment in a study of more than 3,800 people over 40, reported in 2020 in BMC Geriatrics. A 2021 review in Molecules describes the mechanisms by which green tea may suppress brain aging and reduce the risk of dementia.
