Tip of the Week: Fill Your Cup with Green Tea!
Raise your glass to green tea for its ability to improve memory and attention span.
The body of evidence showing benefits of green tea continues to grow!
One recent finding is its ability to improve memory and attention span. Green Tea contains a number of wonderful nutrients, one of which is the amino acid L-theanine. L-theanine has neuroprotective properties, meaning it protects nerves from damage.
It also has been shown to increase levels of mood-enhancing neurotransmitters, such as dopamine and GABA, in the brain. It is these properties that may be responsible for improving memory and attention span in the subjects of this study in the Natural Medicine Journal.
