Scientists from the University of Buffalo (USA) claim that green tea is the best drink for the brain because it significantly enhances all cognitive processes.
Scientists have arranged the experiment: the volunteers were divided into two groups, one of which was given an extract of green tea and asked to perform the cognitive tasks. The MRT-scan was conducted in the course of the entire experiment. And it turned out that those who drank green tea experienced the increased activity in the frontal cortex, which is responsible for memory, attention and the search for solutions to problems.
According to Peter Tsai, head of the Center for Oriental Medicine, the secret of green tea lies in polyphenols which are beneficial to certain areas of the brain. These substances contribute to an increase in the activity of areas of the brain that are responsible for working memory, focus and performance. Therefore, if you are tired and unable to study or solve a problem, it is advisable to rest a little and drink a cup of fresh green tea.
