Studies suggest according to the researchers of a recent study from Leiden University, tyrosine goes further than keeping our body in top shape; it can also affect our mind. It essentially allows us to think more deeply. Hmm, perhaps Newton took a bite of the apple before he connected it to gravity.

Green Tea

The rich, creamy, delicious, sinful – wait, what were we saying? Oh! The rich flavor boosts short term cognitive skills.
