Benefits of Green Tea

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.
