Auriel Willette, Associate Professor in the Rutgers Institute for Health, Health Care Policy and Aging Research and the Department of Neurology at Rutgers Robert Wood Johnson Medical School, is available to speak about the varying impacts of drinking green tea, black tea, and coffee on brain activity and long-term effects on cognitive functions, based on a recent study published in Nutrients.
The following quote from Willette is available for pickup:
“Our study found that drinking more green tea or coffee is related to more neural network activity in several key networks that play pivotal roles in maintaining cognitive functioning and are relevant to Alzheimer’s disease. Drinking more black tea, by contrast, is related to less neural activity. To add context, more neural activity is considered “good” for aging, whereas less neural activity is “bad” and may represent an early risk factor for Alzheimer’s.”
“These findings may provide insights into how commonly consumed beverages like coffee and tea may influence overall cognitive function, as well as Alzheimer’s disease risks in older adults.”
