• NVS Himalayan Green Tea is often drunk for its positive health benefits, and in recent months new research has added to mounting evidence supporting this view by finding that it can even help to improve memory.
• Researchers at Newcastle University found that green tea inhibited the activity of key enzymes in the brain associated with memory, and they believe their findings, published in Phytotherapy Research could herald the development of a new treatment for Alzheimer's disease.
• The team, from Newcastle University's Medicinal Plant Research Centre, investigated the properties of coffee, green tea and black tea in a series of scientific experiments.
• Both teas inhibited the activity of the enzyme acetylcholinesterase (AChE), which breaks down the chemical messenger or neurotransmitter, acetylcholine.
• Green tea and black tea also hinder the activity of the enzyme butyrylcholinesterase (BuChE), which has been discovered in protein deposits found on the brain of patients with Alzheimer's.
• Lead researcher Dr Okello, himself a green tea drinker, said the findings of the research suggested tea could boost the memory of everyday drinkers: "The ageing politician, Tony Benn, is a prime example of somebody who drinks tea and has a fantastic memory."
• Although this antioxidant rich beverage has proved promising in these early trials, it hasn't yet been determined how much green tea is needed to have a therapeutic effect.
• Their aim is to work towards the development of a medicinal tea which is specifically aimed at Alzheimer's sufferers.
• Shandip Shah, Director of NVS Himalayan Green Tea says 'There is increasing scientific research taking place, highlighting the benefits of antioxidants in promoting a healthy heart, prevention of cancer and helping comfort and guard against diseases like diabetes, high blood pressure, tumours, ulcerations, inflammation, intestine problems, dental decay and more.
