Reese Witherspoon’s Favorite Morning Drink Is Scientifically Linked to a Lower Risk of Dementia, New Study Finds
- According to a recent study published in the Journal of Alzheimer's Disease, a specific morning beverage that Reese Witherspoon has famously endorsed (unsweetened green tea) is shown to reduce dementia risk by up to 30% in regular drinkers over 60.
- Witherspoon has been spotted multiple times on Instagram Stories sipping from her iconic "green tea" thermos while on set, with fans dubbing it her "brain fuel" after she casually mentioned it improves her focus during early call times.
- The research analyzed 14 years of data from 50,000 participants, finding that the antioxidants in the tea—specifically EGCG—help break down plaque buildup in the brain, a key factor in Alzheimer’s progression.
- This news has sparked a viral "Reese Tea Challenge" on TikTok, where users are sharing their own morning tea rituals and tagging friends to "drink like a Hollywood superstar for a sharper mind."
- Nutrition experts caution that the effect is strongest when consumed without milk or sugar, exactly how Witherspoon takes hers—plain, strong, and piping hot.
