All the tea lovers would be happy to know that regular morning tea beneficial for your brain. According to a study, drinking tea improves brain structure and makes the efficient organization of nerve cell networks.

Researchers at the National University of Singapore included healthy people in their study and divided them into two groups based on their tea-drinking history (how much tea they drink per day). Researchers examined both functional and structural networks to reveal the role of (effects) drinking tea on the brain.
