New Evidence That Green Tea Boosts Brain Health

There have been claims over the years that green tea can improve mental alertness and memory.  Now a new study reports that a specific chemical in green tea supports the production of brain cells, at least in mice.  This could be important for staving off age-related memory decline.  More specifically:

“We proposed that EGCG can improve cognitive function by impacting the generation of neuron cells, a process known as neurogenesis,” said Bai. “We focused our research on the hippocampus, the part of the brain which processes information from short-term to long-term memory.”

Interested to hear from readers that include green tea in their Next Brain diet.
