41. Can Green Tea Improve Your Memory?

I've been getting lots of emails from Tesco Diets lately (I always have Tesco deliver my groceries after ordering online - it saves so much time).

But today they sent me one that was quite interesting. I'm all for improving my health in as natural a way as possible, so whenever I learn of the benefits of a certain food, I try to include it in my diet (my downfall is cornflakes and muesli which are actually full of sugar).

Tesco say:
"Researchers at the University of Newcastle upon Tyne have released a new study detailing how green and black tea can actually improve your memory. Dr. Ed Okello and his team have located compounds in the leaves of the Camellia sinensis plant, which produces green, black and oolong teas, which block the activity of brain chemicals that are associated with memory decline."

Anyway, there are long words involved so I'll let you go and check out the Tesco link for yourself Here.

There is a book available online and as a downloadable ebook. It is a study guide and therapy with exercises. The therapy is a new approach aimed at improving the representation for speech and verbal memory. I have tried it myself and I would say that it is very much worth looking into
