Green Tea May Lower Alzheimer's & Parkinson's Risk

Green tea is loaded with antioxidants and nutrients that have long been known to have powerful effects on the body.

Green tea can improve brain function, increase fat loss, lower the risk of cancer and cardiovascular disease,  inhibit bacteria and viruses, improve insulin sensitivity and reduce blood sugar levels and many other impressive benefits.

And, it may also protect your aging brain.

Multiple studies show that green tea polyphenols can have protective effects on neurons in test tubes and animal models and may actually reduce the risk of both Alzheimer's and Parkinson's, the two most common neurodegenerative disorders.

So, it may be time to rethink your morning cup of java or standard iced black tea and switch to this powerful antioxidant.

Even though all green tea brands are essentially good for your brainpower, shop selectively to boost your green tea's effectiveness:

Opt for Brewed, Not Bottled Green Tea

A cup of brewed green tea has as many polyphenols as found in 20 bottles of green tea.

Look at the Country of Origin

Most countries produce a green tea which contains heavy metals including aluminum, arsenic, lead, and cadmium. Purchase green tea from Sri Lanka, as opposed to Japan and China where metallic content is considerably high.

Buy Organic, Not Conventional Tea

Conventional green tea is high in pesticide residues, especially that from the European Union and Japan.
