Green tea is a drink whose benefits have long been proven.
However, scientists have recently discovered that if you prefer this drink to coffee, you can avoid one dangerous disease.
This is the conclusion reached by Japanese researchers, and the corresponding material was published on the pages of the Independent .
Experts studied the lives of 10 thousand Japanese people and found out how the 3 or more cups that elderly people consumed daily affected their health.
High blood pressure is one of the key factors that causes dementia. However, green tea has the ability to lower blood pressure.
Although tea also contains caffeine, it is much less. One cup of coffee contains 100 milligrams of caffeine, while the same amount of green tea contains only 25-45 mg of this substance.
The scientists emphasized that the data has not yet been confirmed and requires additional research, since the work was conducted only among the Japanese and did not take into account a number of factors.
