Coffee is a common allergen for many of my Ottawa clients.
When I advise them to avoid coffee they often ask for an alternative. Green tea
is a safe alternative and provides a number of positive health benefits.
People who drank a beverage containing green tea extract
showed increased connectivity between the parietal and frontal cortex of the
brain.
The increased activity was correlated with improved
performance on working memory tasks.
The researchers believe the results suggest green tea may be
useful for treating cognitive impairments, including dementia.
Green tea may also be beneficial for heart health, bone
health, type 2 diabetes, weight loss, vision health, and more.
Much of the research on green tea has been based on about
three cups daily, which is easily attainable for most people.
