Can regular coffee prevent stroke? Research says drinking coffee and tea can reduce the risk of stroke and dementia

According to a number of media reports, a new study suggests that moderate consumption of coffee and tea can reduce the risk of stroke and dementia.

In the past, many studies have pointed out that drinking coffee and tea is good for your health. A study published in Plos Medicine by Tianjin Medical University also confirmed that coffee and tea are good for the body-reducing the risk of stroke and dementia, and further confirming that the best consumption of coffee and tea is four to six cups a day.

It is understood that the study is based on the data of 365682 testers from the UK biological sample bank, aged between 50 and 74, of whom 45.7 per cent are male. In this study, testers joined the study from 2006 to 2010, and the researchers followed and analyzed the study until 2020. In the form of questionnaires, interviews, health records, physical measurements and providing blood samples, the study showed that a total of 5079 subjects developed dementia and 10053 had strokes during the study period. The study also found that coffee and tea intake had a non-linear relationship with the risk of stroke and dementia, so drinking coffee and tea could help prevent stroke and dementia, but causality could not be inferred from these associations. People who drank 2-3 cups of coffee or 3-5 cups of tea a day, or a combination of 4-6 cups of coffee and tea, had the lowest incidence of stroke or dementia, the researchers analyzed. Compared with people who did not drink coffee or tea, people who drank two to three cups of coffee or three to five cups of tea a day had a 32% lower risk of stroke and a 28% lower risk of dementia.

The relationship between coffee and tea intake and stroke, dementia and post-stroke dementia in addition, studies have shown that drinking coffee and tea at the same time is associated with a reduced risk of ischemic stroke and vascular dementia. The combination of tea and coffee was associated with a lower risk of post-stroke dementia, that is, drinking three to six cups of coffee and tea a day had the lowest risk of post-stroke dementia. But the researchers say this is the first time that people who drink two drinks at the same time have been shown, and the study involved only a small portion of a person's diet, so the interaction may also be accidental. It remains to be seen whether simultaneous consumption of coffee and tea reduces the risk of stroke and dementia. Coffee and tea both contain a lot of caffeine and are the most widely consumed psychoactive substances, so some people in the industry have pointed out that coffee and tea may become part of a healthy life.

Studies have also shown that coffee and tea can reduce the risk of heart metabolic diseases, including type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure and cardiovascular disease. In the past, the health benefits of coffee have been confirmed by a large number of studies. Such as # Coffee drinking helps protect the liver; # Coffee drinking reduces obesity-related fatty liver; # Coffee drinkers have a lower risk of chronic liver disease; # Coffee drinking reduces cardiovascular disease and coronary heart disease; and # Coffee drinking reduces the risk of death. However, although drinking coffee is good, you also need to pay attention to the right amount, because drinking too much coffee can reduce brain capacity and increase the risk of dementia. A study by the Australian team in July found that people who drank more than six cups of coffee a day had a 53% higher risk of developing dementia. * Photo Source: more content on the Internet.
