Medical literature has specifically studied the relationship between caffeine and depression, especially with regard to drinking coffee and tea. The results show that caffeine can reduce the incidence of depression, and some reports even point out that caffeine consumption can reduce the rate of suicide.

So, both tea and coffee contain caffeine. Do you feel like you have no choice but to drink down down?

Coffee is more effective in preventing depression than tea.

Chinese researchers reported from 1980 to 2015 that caffeine is associated with relatively low levels of depression. These reports also point out that when individuals increase their daily caffeine intake, the risk of depression caused by caffeine decreases. The researchers concluded that drinking caffeinated drinks and coffee significantly reduced the risk of depression.

Twelve other studies also analyzed the relationship between caffeine and depression. Of the more than 300,000 people in various studies, there were more than 8,000 cases of depression. The results show that caffeine, especially coffee, has a protective effect on preventing depression. The study also found that tea with low caffeine content was correspondingly less effective in preventing depression.

Why is coffee better than tea?

Part of the reason is that coffee contains certain ingredients and may counteract the negative effects of depression. For example, chlorogenic acid (chlorogenic acid), ferulic acid (ferulic acid), caffeic acid (caffeic acid) and so on, these three substances can reduce brain neuronal inflammation associated with depression.

To combat these inflammation, of course, coffee is indispensable, and its antioxidant properties, coupled with anti-inflammatory functions, can relieve anxiety and stress caused by depression.

Green tea is also a good choice.

To reduce the risk of depression, not all teas are less effective than coffee. Green tea, which is high in antioxidants and high in theanine (which helps promote serotonin), has the same effect as coffee. Green tea, coffee and caffeine drinks can all play a protective role in preventing depression, according to a Japanese study.

Drinks with depression that need to be avoided

Coffee and green tea can help fight depression, but other drinks may not. If you are improving your mental health, please avoid the following drinks:

1. All sugary drinks: such as soda or fruit juice.

two。 Artificial sugar drinks: for example, Diet Coke, they hinder the production of serotonin.

3. Alcohol: it is an inhibitor of the central nervous system.
