Green Tea Consumption Linked to Improved Cognitive Function: Study Shows Reduction in Reaction Time and Enhanced Sustained Attention Over Six Weeks
A recent study reveals that participants demonstrated improved performance on cognitive tasks after consuming a specific type of green tea. The research indicates enhancements in both reaction time and sustained attention, suggesting a potential link between the tea’s components and cognitive function. Scientists conducted the study over a six-week period, observing a consistent pattern of improvement in the participants who regularly consumed the designated green tea compared to the control group. During the study, researchers administered a series of standardized cognitive tests to assess various aspects of mental performance. Participants in the experimental group consumed two cups of the specified green tea daily, while the control group received a placebo. The results showed a statistically significant reduction in reaction time during tasks requiring quick decision-making. Furthermore, individuals who drank the green tea exhibited a greater capacity to maintain focus during prolonged attention tasks, as measured by their ability to accurately identify targets over an extended period. The scientists noted that further research is needed to identify the specific compounds in the green tea responsible for the observed cognitive benefits and to explore the long-term effects of its consumption.
