Drinking green tea can boost brain function
Preventing cell damage in the brain is essential to prevent the risk of diseases including dementia, Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s.
Caffeine is the active ingredient in green tea which is a known mental stimulant, but the way it affects the body is very different to the caffeine content in coffee.
According to Krisi Smith, Co-Founder of Bird & Blend Tea CoThe caffeine release in green tea is much steadier than the sudden spike and crash experienced with coffee.
When we drink green tea, two key compounds take effect.
Caffeine works to increase the concentration of dopamine and other positive hormones while amino acids fuel healthy cells which support overall brain function.
