Your morning cup(s) of joe or tea could be reducing you risk of dementia and stroke, according to a new study.<\/p>\n

Over 10 to 14 years, the peer-reviewed study\u00a0published in PLOS Medicine\u00a0followed more than 360,000 participants to estimate the associations between coffee and tea consumption and incident stroke and dementia.<\/p>\n

Researchers found those who drank two to three cups of coffee or three to five cups of tea or a combination of both for four to six cups a day had the lowest risk of dementia or stroke.<\/p>\n

“Compared with those who did not drink tea and coffee, drinking 2 to 3 cups of coffee and 2 to 3 cups of tea per day was associated with a 32% lower risk of stroke and a 28% lower risk of dementia,” the study said.<\/p>\n

The study’s participants were from the UK Biobank \u2013 a large-scale database with genetic and health information of half a million U.K. participants. All participants of the study were 50 to 74 years-old and self-reported their consumption.<\/p>\n\n

After a median follow-up of 11.35 years, researchers found that 10,053 participants had a stroke and 5,078 developed either Alzheimer’s disease or vascular dementia.<\/p>\n

“We cannot impute causality, and say ‘drinking more coffee or tea is good for your brain.’ What we can only say is that in this study, people who reported moderate coffee\/tea drinking were less likely to have a stroke or dementia occur in the 10 years of follow-up,” Dr. Lee H. Schwamm, chair of the American Stroke Association Advisory Committee,\u00a0told CNN via email.<\/p>\n
