How Do You Spell “Good Mood”?

G*R*E*E*N*space*T*E*A!

Published in the British Journal of Nutrition, a new report demonstrated that green tea consumption improves mood in overweight or obese male subjects. This does not mean that you need to be an overweight or obese male to feel the groove.

Scientists are still working on the mechanisms, but many think it has to do with enzymes of the central nervous system, such as acetylcholinesterase (see October 28th).
