Drink green tea, do not have a stroke
A group of researchers has found that a molecule in green tea can help prevent deaths from heart attack and stroke.
Consuming green tea has many health benefits. Experts have confirmed that drinking green tea is beneficial for weight loss, lowering high blood pressure and clear skin.
Researchers at Lancaster University now say that green tea can help prevent heart attacks and strokes. The compounds found in this substance can dissolve a harmful protein called A-1 in the arteries, known as atherosclerosis or atherosclerosis.
Atherosclerosis is caused by fatty substances in the arteries that can reduce blood flow and thus reduce blood flow to the brain and heart.
Apolipoprotein protein (A-1) occurs in more advanced stages and can produce amyloid deposits. These deposits, which are the building blocks of Alzheimer’s, form in atherosclerotic plaques. This increases the volume of plaque and also reduces blood flow and increases the risk of stroke or heart attack.
A team of researchers at Lancaster University has discovered that a molecule called EGCG found in green tea can bind to the A-1 protein and break it down into smaller molecules without damaging the arteries.
The researchers discovered this by brewing green tea in the microwave.
Experts claim that even if this new discovery could allow the development of new molecules that can fight the narrowing of blood vessels, it does not necessarily mean that green tea alone can help.
Professor David Middleton, author of the study, suggested that drinking large amounts of green tea may not work. However, the study shows that the EGCG molecule needs to be tested more.
Other experts say the new finding should be used with caution.
We have already researched foods and beverages that may reduce some health risks, but to date only a few have made real progress, said Professor Navid Sattar, one of the study’s researchers. So my advice is not to rush into drinking green tea.
This new information is encouraging, and researchers need to find new ways to absorb the EGCG molecule from green tea and make it an effective tool that can combat health risks, said Professor Sheena Radford. help.
