Green tea benefits
Green tea, native to China and India, is produced
from the leaves of the Camellia sinensis bush. Unlike
other teas, green tea is made from unoxidized leaves.
This minimal processing means it is rich in
antioxidants
.
Green tea may boost our working memory
Green tea 'boosts connectivity between parietal and frontal cortex of the
brain'
Researchers say green tea may be useful in the treatment of disorders
involving cognitive impairments, such as dementia.
To further investigate, the researching team conducted a study using 12
healthy male volunteers with a mean age of 24.1 years.
Participants were given a milk whey-based soft drink containing 27.5 g of
green tea extract, while others were given a soft drink without the green
tea extract. Volunteers were unaware of which drink they had been given.
The participants were then required to carry out a series of working
memory tasks. During these tasks, their brain activity was measured using
MRI.
The researchers found that the participants who consumed the soft drink
with the green tea extract
showed increased connectivity between the
right superior parietal lobule and the frontal cortex of the brain
. This
activity correlated with improved performance on the working memory
tasks.
