HEALTH BENEFITS OF GREEN TEA

ENERGY & PERFORMANCE

• In one study in 10 healthy men, green tea increased energy expenditure by 4% http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10584049 

• By mobilizing fatty acids from the fat tissues and making them available for use as energy, caffeine itself has also been shown to improve physical performance.

• In 2 different studies physical performance was improved by 11-12% on average from caffeine.

GREEN TEA ENERGY

• Helps increase energy and mental focus. Green tea contains a small amount of caffeine, which a
2008 study in Nutrition Bulletin found can improve mood, cognitive function and physical
performance. Green tea contains less caffeine than does coffee.

• Provides L-theanine, an amino acid shown to promote a state of calm awareness. Bottom line,
green tea provides the benefits of alertness associated with caffeine without the "jittery"
feeling often experienced as a side effect of coffee.

• Improves various aspects of brain function, including improved mood, vigilance, reaction
time and memory.

risks." Nutrition Bulletin 33, no. 1 (2008): 15-

• L-theanine helps to increase the neurotransmitters, GABA, which has and anti anxiety effect, and increases dopamine and the production of alpha waves in the brain.
• Because of the L-theanine and the smaller dose of caffeine, green tea can give you a much milder and different kind of “ENERGY” than coffee.
• Many people report having more stable energy and being much more productive when they drank green tea, compared to coffee.

Research has found that green tea may help improve brain function in the short
term, and it may also protect your brain in old age.

• Multiple studies show that the catechin compounds in green tea can have various protective effects on neurons in test tubes and animal models.

In a statement by Swen Wolfram, PhD, from Basel, Switzerland, he stated the following, “Due to the tremendous interest of the public and the scientific community, the health benefits of green tea were extensively investigated during the past few years. No other traditional beverage has received such widespread scientific attention, and knowledge about its positive effects is exceptional. The various health benefits of regular green tea consumption may finally result in a prolonged life span.”
