Drinking tea helps to improve brain power and health
Over the past few years, many of you have probably read about correlations being made between tea and its ability to help promote a healthy body. I was looking over some newer research recently and discovered this interesting article on various news feeds that I thought might be of interest to our customers.
Tea has been integral part of our life for ages especially as a routine drink. Off late there have been researches suggesting benefits of taking tea for heart, cancer and Parkinson’s disease. Recently in a new study it has been found that tea has positive impact on our brain power too. The benefit works on 2 ways. It reduces tiredness and increases alertness and focus. The findings have been reported by Dutch researchers the journal Nutritional Neuroscience.
The study on benefits of drinking tea was conducted on group of 44 volunteers. Tea contains amino acid called L-theanine present in green tea and caffeine which brings alertness and focus in our mind. Among the people of age less than 40 years, tea also reduces tiredness. This also indirectly helps to improve our focus.
It was also found in the research that drinking tea after break of 20-70 minutes improves our accuracy when we switch from one task to another. The researchers noted, "The results suggest the combination helps to focus attention during a demanding cognitive task."
Based on the current finding and previous study it's found that drinking 4 cup of tea is good for mental and physical health. Dr Tim Bond, of the industry-backed Tea Advisory Panel said, "As a result, all this new data adds to the growing science that drinking tea, preferably four cups of tea a day, is good for our health and well being."
The finding also revealed that adding milk doesn’t affect the positive benefits of tea.
