Information
In the beginning, there was green tea. Five millennia before black tea conquered Europe in the mid-18th century, it was already popular in Asia. For the Japanese, it is an essential part of their culture. The tea ceremony is part of this lifestyle. The health benefits of green tea have been known in Western countries for several years and contribute to its popularity.
Green tea keeps you mentally fit
The active ingredients in two or more cups of green tea a day reduce the risk of suffering from mental impairment in old age. This is proven by a study by Japanese scientist Shinichi Kuriyama from Tohoku Medical University. The risk of developing dementia or Parkinson's disease could thus be effectively reduced in the future with regular green tea consumption and without side effects.
The protective function of green tea for human brain cells was demonstrated for the first time in this study. The Japanese team led by Kuriyama conducted an observational study with 1,003 Japanese adults over 70 years of age. As part of the study, their eating habits were observed, their health status was assessed and cognitive abilities were also measured.
