Tea! A Brain Builder - Dr Ken Romeo - Anti Aging - Reno Nevada

OPINION:   Dr Ken Romeo    775-870-6942

Custom designed anti aging programs should concentrate on natural methods to increase brain health first and then concentrate on a client's physical appearance.

Recently a study was completed assessing the relationship between tea consumption and cognitive function in 716 older adults +55 years.

Cognitive function was assessed by a battery of neuropsychological tests as well as testing memory, executive function and attention.

The results?

After adjusting for potential confounders, total tea consumption was independently associated with better performances on global cognition, memory, executive function, and information processing speed!

Both black/oolong tea and green tea consumption were associated with better cognitive performance.

There was no association between coffee consumption and cognitive function!!!

Apparently, the protective effect of tea consumption was not limited by the type of tea consumed.

Dr Ken Romeo - Anti Aging Reno Nevada - Look to Your Senses for Great Brain Health

Conclusory Opinion: Dr. Ken Romeo   775-870-6942

The sensory measurement of 1,884 seniors (average age 66.7) was tested to see if there was a link between low sensory readings and cognitive impairment.

The scientists measured hearing, visual and smell senses of the volunteers using a variety of standardized methods.

The results showed that hearing, visual and smell senses were independently associated with cognitive impairment risk.

In other words, only single sensory development impacted cognitive development since, "(the study) also showed that 85% of participants with hearing impairment, 81% with visual impairment, and 76% with smell impairment did not develop cognitive impairment during follow-up." This is excellent news!!

It was the conclusion that sensory impairment were not associated to any one sensory system which may indicate that a more global neural health marker is working.

If nothing else, sensory cognitive impairment may be useful in uncovering mechanisms of healthy brain aging but are not independent factors showing potential cognitive decline.
