More and more research is providing information about things we can do to preserve our brain health.
One thing is drinking coffee and tea.
A recent large study showed that drinking caffeinated coffee or tea was associated with a lower risk of dementia over a forty-year period.
The lowest risk seemed to be in people who drank approximately 2 to 3 cups of coffee or 1 to 2 cups of tea a day.
