You drink a cup of coffee and have
a hyper reaction within 20 minutes. You drink a
cup of tea and all is well. Why?
Tea contains virtually the same
amount of caffeine but it also contains an amino
acid known as
theanine**,
a type of relaxant.
Theanine
has been studies overseas since 1964 but it the
effects are only starting to be appreciated in the
USA now. Let's take a look at some areas: Theanine
readily crosses the
blood-brain
barrier of humans and exerts subtle changes
in biochemistry. An increase in alpha waves has
been documented. The effects are similar to taking
a relaxing, hot bath. Unlike
tranquilizers,
it does not interfere with one's ability to think
or process infor- mation. In fact, theanine increases
concentration and focuses thought patterns. (This
is actually the concept behind the ancient Japanese
tradition of Tea Ceremonies.) Theanine is also a
caffeine antagonist; simply stated, it reacts in
the opposite fashion. It also creates a sense of
well being by increasing dopamine
levels, another brain chemical associated with mood
enhancement. ===========================================

One of the most unique features is
theanine's ability to protect neurons.
Specifically, theanine protects against glutamate,
an essential brain chemical that is toxic in high
amounts. Although essental to brain functioning,
an excess of glutamate kills brain cells. (The most
common reason for this is poor blood supply to the
brain. Glutamate surges - calcium increases - free
radical damage occurs.) Finally, theanine has been
shown to lower blood pressure, reduce stress and
improve symptoms of PSM.
Next trip to Starbucks, pass on the
mocha and ask for the Green Tea!
