What drink protects the brain from damage?

I spent a long time thinking about which drink was meant, because there are lots of recommendations out there. It's most likely about green or black tea - it has a high content of antioxidants, especially catechins, which protect brain cells from oxidative stress. I personally drink green tea from time to time just because I like it, but I've noticed that my head works better and I get less tired throughout the day.

Besides tea, coffee is often mentioned with a similar effect. Caffeine helps improve concentration and blood flow, and the antioxidants in coffee also fight cell damage. Cocoa and hot chocolate are also rich in beneficial substances. The main thing is that all these drinks work on roughly the same principle - they supply the brain with substances that fight inflammation and oxidative stress.

But here's what's important: no drink will be a "miracle cure" on its own. It's more like one element of a healthy lifestyle. It won't do much good if at the same time you're sleeping 4 hours and eating poorly. So tea or coffee is a good addition, but not a magic pill.
