Green tea may have a profound effect in reduced risk and treatment of depression, some scientists suggested
Green tea, a precious drink processes a number of health benefits, known to almost everyone in Asia and the Western world.
In vivo, the application of green tea(GT) and GABA green tea (GGT) expressed a protective activity against post-stroke depression (PSD), a common consequence of stroke, according to a joint study led by Pavia University.
And, in a mouse model of post-stroke depression, GGT and GT enhance the activity in the modulation of depressive symptoms through decreased oxidative stress, increased antioxidant endogenous defenses, including polyphenol, theanine, glutamine, etc......
Also, according to a cross-sectional study of consumption of green tea and coffee ascertained with a validated dietary questionnaire and the amount of caffeine intake estimated from these beverages, conducted by the joint venture lead by the Fukuoka Women's University, green tea consumption is associated to reduce symptoms of depression, depending to the amount of intake.
Compared amount intake, participants who consumed ≥4 cups of green tea/d had a 51% significantly lower prevalence odds of having depressive symptoms than those who consumed less than 1 cup/d.
The multiple-adjusted odds for depressive symptoms comparing the highest with the lowest quartile of caffeine consumption was 0·57.
These results suggested that green tea consumption has a linear effect correlated to the number of cup intake per day without mentioning the effects of the maximum number of cups that patients can take.
Dr. Pham NM, the lead author in the study said, "Higher consumption of green tea, coffee, and caffeine may confer protection against depression".
Furthermore, in the review of Embase, PubMed, and Chinese National Knowledge Infrastructure databases from their inception through August 2014, tea consumption of more than 3 cups a day showed a significant decrease in the risk of depression of 37% (RR = 0.63, 95% CI: 0.55-0.71), in compared to individuals with lower tea consumption and those with higher tea consumption.
Taking together, there is no doubt, green tea may be used as a functional food in reduced symptoms and risk of depression if consumes daily.
However, oral administration of large amounts daily should be taken with care, particularly, in people with yin constituents.
