Introduction: There are many people who like to drink tea or like to drink coffee, but there are very few people who are willing to drink together, but many things are so wonderful, as the absolute representative of tea and coffee, which are the two major drinks of the East and the West, they seem to be born to be enjoyed together------ Tong Doctor
How long the history of mankind has existed, tea and coffee have existed for a long time, and both are living fossils of human beverage culture.
Tea and coffee have been described in very early human history records, and even used as medicinal herbs in ancient times, and today we do not discuss history, but rather say what we think about a study on the combination of tea and coffee.
Tea
Whether it is coffee or tea, as the favorite drink of human beings, it has been studied a lot alone, and the benefits of both for the human body have also been confirmed by various studies.
As different plants, and at the same time in different positions on the earth, the taste of coffee and tea is also very different, but they contain a lot of common substances, such as caffeine, polyphenols, which can provide antioxidants and other bioactive compounds for humans, but also have a neuroprotective effect.
In addition, what is even more amazing is that although the two have many different ingredients, they have the same effect on the human body, such as coffee contains hydroxycinnamic acid, and tea contains theophyrin, these two different ingredients have improved endothelial function, insulin resistance and anti-inflammatory effects, and more importantly, they have their own roles in the target molecules, so some people speculate that if the two are combined, it will play a role in 1 plus 1 greater than two?
Since there is an idea, some people will study it, and a study published in the journal PLOS Medicine found that it really confirmed that the combination of coffee and tea drinking may indeed have the effect of reducing stroke and dementia.
The findings showed that people who drank coffee and tea every day had a 32 percent lower risk of stroke and a 28 percent lower risk of dementia compared to those who drank tea or coffee every day, with those who drank 4-6 cups of coffee and tea a day having the lowest risk of stroke and dementia.
But researchers say that while coffee and tea help reduce the risk of stroke, dementia, and post-stroke dementia, it doesn't mean that these diseases will be avoided as long as they are drunk at the same time.
However, in Dr. Tong's view, this is not a problem, after all, how can there be absolute protection, and it is already good to play a certain preventive role.
Finally, Dr. Tong would like to tell you that although taking both at the same time will bring us more benefits, I still want to give you a small suggestion.
Because after all, everyone's physical condition is different, the ingredients between these two different drinks are possible to have a chemical reaction, so the two drink separately for a period of time, such as drinking tea in the morning and drinking coffee in the afternoon, the preventive effect of the disease is the same, and at the same time, there will be no chemical reaction, which is the true best of both worlds.
