Green tea extract may protect your brain from stress....

Today's post: Monday, 8-11-2008


In the book, Brain Longevity, Dr Dharma Khalsa explains that too much stress can damage your brain’s memory operations center, the hippocampus.

For that reason, he recommends meditation or similar regular, stress relief to people who come to him with memory problems & as a way to prevent them.

Last week the email I get from him, TheHealingMinute@DrDharma.com, said that it had recently been found that green tea extract reduced the damage stress does to the brain.

(It’s mostly a sales email. But he occasionally has information such as this discovery that is well worth knowing and that I don’t see elsewhere.)

He emphasized that this means that green tea extract would help protect your hippocampus and memory as a result.

Separate research has found definite heart protective benefits from taking green tea extract or drinking green tea often.

But this new information suggests that it may also pay you & protect your memory to take green tea extract or drink green tea often if you are under extra stress.

And, as our regular readers also know, if you substitute green tea for soft drinks, you will likely lose some extra fat without any hunger; and it will help prevent or lower blood sugar readings that are too high.

By doing that you replace a health harmful drink with a health benefiting one. So, you benefit double.
