But a study has claimed that neckties may not be so good for your health

It say that neckties can restrict cerebral blood flow in men who wear them too tightly

Blood is important because it brings oxygen and nutrients to your brain and removes waste materials so that you can think and stuff

The German team that carried out the research divided 30 participants in a group of two

The team found that cerebral blood flow dropped by an average of 7.5% after the neckties were tightened

It continued to remain decreased by an average of 5.7% after the necktie was loosened

However, the study has limitations, including the small sample size and variation in neckties

Moreover, the research did not measure the potential effects of a 7.5% drop in cerebral blood flow
