Tea is good green tea extract may prevent Alzheimer's disease!

Green tea is widely believed to be beneficial to the brain, and its antioxidant and detoxifying effects can help fight against catastrophic diseases such as Alzheimer's disease However, scientists have never fully understood how green tea molecules work and how they can be used to find better treatments The research of McMaster University reveals the new discovery of these potential mechanisms Preclinical evidence suggests that green tea, known as EGCG, interferes with the formation of toxic substances, which are thought to cause cognitive decline in early Alzheimer's disease "At the molecular level, we believe that EGCG covers toxic oligomers and alters their ability to grow and interact with healthy cells "Giuseppe melacini, a professor in the Department of chemistry and chemical biology, is also a professor in the Department of Biochemistry and biomedical science of McMaster, who has been engaged in research related to Alzheimer's disease for 15 years The findings, published on the cover page of the Journal of the American Chemical Society, are the result of a decade of progress in nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) methodology and could lead to new treatments and further drug discovery, the researchers said Despite decades of research, the cause of Alzheimer's disease is still not fully understood, and the treatment is limited According to the latest census data, the number of elderly people living in Canada exceeds that of children, greatly increasing the demand for effective drugs and prevention According to some estimates, the number of Canadians with dementia is expected to rise to 937000 by 2031, 66% higher than the current figure "We all know that there is no cure for Alzheimer's, so what we can do is to prevent it as soon as possible," melacini said This may mean that between 15 and 25 years before any symptoms of Alzheimer's can be prevented by the use of green tea extracts or products containing related ingredients " Next, the researchers hope to solve some annoying problems, such as how to modify EGCG and similar molecules, so that they can be effectively used as food additives EGCG is unstable at room temperature, and it is difficult to enter the human body, especially the brain So how to add this molecule to food needs further study "Food additives may be a key treatment or adjuvant, and in addition to exercise and a healthy lifestyle, it's also important to increase the risk of healthy anti-aging early through these factors," melacini said It seems that drinking more tea is good, especially green tea Green tea extract can play the role of antioxidant and detoxification In addition, EGCG molecules in green tea also have the ability to treat the cognitive decline in the early stage of Alzheimer's disease.
