Dozens of studies show that green tea consumption protects the brain as we age. Green Tea has been shown in clinical trials to boost cognitive function as well as lower rates of cognitive disorders like Alzheimer’s disease and dementia.
The magic of green tea is found in the high concentrations of polyphenols, known as catechins. Catechins function as both antioxidants and anti-inflammatories.
Also, drinking green tea improves the diversity of bacteria in the gut and protects the lining of the gut, which helps to prevent leaky gut.
If you’ve heard of the brain/gut connection, this is a great example of it. Signals sent back and forth between the gut and the brain have a profound impact on aging and risk for disease.
So pour yourself a cup of green tea and curl up with a great book!
