‘Brain drink’ REGENERATES neurons for UPGRADED cognitive function
Imagine what having laser-sharp focus might mean to you… especially far into your “golden years.”
Never getting DISTRACTED…
Or having to blame lapses in attention on “brain burps” and “senior moments”?
What if you could EFFORTLESSLY navigate your way to that new store your friend told you about…
And come home with every single item on your shopping list… WITHOUT having to backtrack?
How would you spend all that time you save… when you’re NOT trying to remember the things you’re certain you’ve FORGOTTEN?
Well, friend, it’s possible to give your brain these “superpowers”… and even UPGRADE your memory.
And the key is a polyphenol found LOCKED inside China’s most popular drink!
Go green
I’ve shared with you before right here in eAlert how green tea can help…
- SLASH mortality in type 2 diabetics
- SHRINK enlarged prostate
- CONQUER superbugs
- FIGHT cancer
- and more.
But today, I’ve got yet ANOTHER exciting benefit of this “tea trick”…
Particularly as it relates to the active compound known as epigallocatechin (EGCG).
Studies have shown that folks who drink more EGCG-rich green tea have better brain health!
EGCG works to SUPPRESS cognitive decline by “lighting up” a part of your brain’s frontal lobe…
Where the cognitive skill known as executive function… like decision-making and selective attention… is based.
And it can ZERO IN on that area of your brain… because it’s small enough to cross the blood-brain barrier.
Once it’s in there, its antioxidant action helps BEAT BACK oxidative stress and damage…
And EXTINGUISH brain inflammation.
But that’s not all…
Because EGCG has also been shown to help grow NEW brain cells… and INHIBIT the development of beta-amyloid plaques!
And if your brain has ALREADY formed these twisted and tangled proteins associated with Alzheimer’s disease…
EGCG can help keep them from becoming OXIDIZED.
In some folks, that’s something that IMPAIRS cognitive function.
Now, you could pick up a green tea habit…
But drinking multiple cups per day may EXCEED your tolerance for caffeine.
And your body may not be able to absorb as much EGCG from a cup of green tea as it could in supplement form.
Look for green tea extract in capsule form from a quality maker you trust at your local health food store or online.
Make sure it’s standardized to contain a certain percentage of EGCG.
Or, you can supplement directly with EGCG, combined with other ingredients (like piperine or curcumin) to MAXIMIZE its bioavailability and effectiveness.
Either way, the caffeine content will be negligible.
To better brain health,
