Green tea to relieve from depression
Japanese scientists have found that green tea has the potential to cut the risk of developing depression among elderly people. Tohoku University researchers discovered that 44% of elderly men and women studied were less likely to have depression symptoms if they drank four or more cups of green tea daily. The researchers established the link even after considering such factors as social and economic status, gender, diet, history of medical problems, and the use of antidepressants. There was not a similar effect found with other teas, such as black or oolong tea, or coffee.
