It appears some of you people might be depressed out there...

Firstly, there's a root cause for various depressions. It could be a chemical imbalance, stress, lack of sleep, loneliness or not meeting an achievement you want to, etc. You still need to address the root cause.

However, drinking "green tea" will reduce your depression greatly.

Ideally "Matcha Green Tea", which has been tested to work well on mice and for humans...

- 3 cups of green tea per week is known to reduce depression by 21% on average
- 4 cups of green tea per day skyrockets the effect to reducing depression by 51% on average

Other teas such as Ashwagandha tea, St John's wort tea, Lemon balm tea, etc, also can work.

It adapts your brain to deal with stress.

It contains something also known as L-Theanine which directly affects your mood stabilisation and sleep quality.

Green tea also reduces and regulate Cortisol, your body hormone which affects stress, anxiety and depression. Aka it helps fix your chemical imbalance.

Along with green tea, try adding a daily walk or a form of exercise. It's an anti-depressant, similar in strength to using the drug Zoloft in studies, yet without any side-effects. After a trial between the two - 52% still had depression with the drug Zoloft compared to 30% had depression after regular exercise. It does seriously have a big impact on it and works better, if in short bursts with resting.

You should also take Vitamin D or get outside more to get some natural sunlight.

Now write a depressing reason below why you dislike drinking green tea?

I'm not harping on your stats here it's just that...

Depending on the definition of 'skyrockets' ...we could be confused here.

3 cups a week compared to 4 cups a day (21 cups a week)

3 cups a week : 21 cups a week
21% : 51 %

it doesn't seem like the correct context for the stats via word usage 'skyrockets'

What do you think?

I say this because at first glance someone who is novice tea drinker might see the benefit of only drinking 3 cups a week compared to the required 21 cups a week to benefit.

7 times increase in consumption yields 2.5 times benefit as 3 cups a week.
Consumption increase is a steeper curve than the benefit. We could say skyrocketing consumption yields a fairly reflected benefit (as to not exceed maximum amounts of tea i.e. recommended no more than 8-10 cups / day)

Yeah, that's fair. My bad with the wording of "skyrockets". It is quite a large increase in comparison.

At least 3 cups a week is not bad at all though for those gains.
