It has been found that green tea consumption is significantly associated with a lower risk of mortality due to stroke [29] and pneumonia [30] and imparts a lower risk of cognitive impairment [31], depression [32], and psychological distress [33]. These results have been confirmed by other researchers [34][35][36][37].…”

“…Hintikka et al (2005) observed an inverse relationship between daily tea drinking and the risk of depression in a relatively large Finnish general population sample. Niu et al (2009) observed that more frequent consumption of green tea was associated with a lower prevalence of depressive symptoms in community-dwelling elderly. Zhu et al (2012) observed that green tea polyphenol extract exerted antidepressant-like effects in a mouse model, and the mechanism might involve inhibition of the hypothalamic-pituitaryadrenal axis.…”
