How drinking one cup of black tea or a glass of red wine each night could HALVE your risk of dementia (and scientists say eating kale and broccoli can also ward off the disease)

Drinking tea and red wine with plenty of kale could slash the risk of Alzheimer's disease, a study suggests.

The products are rich in chemicals called flavonols, among many other nutrients which may support brain health.

Researchers at Rush University in Chicago tracked more than 900 older people for up to 12 years after asking them about their diets.

Those who consumed the most flavonols - around one cup of black tea a day - were half as likely to develop Alzheimer's.
