How does green tea prevent Alzheimer’s?
Medical experts in Canada have studied how the combination of green space in the prevention of Alzheimer’s.
Canadian experts believe that the EGCG compound in green tea can help prevent Alzheimer’s disease.
Although the results of several studies so far have shown a link between green tea and a reduced risk of Alzheimer’s disease, the underlying mechanism has previously been unclear. A new study now shows how the EGCG compound in this drink disrupts the formation of toxic plaques that contribute to Alzheimer’s.
Alzheimer’s is a progressive neurological disease characterized by decreased memory and thinking ability and behavioral problems. It is estimated that approximately 50 million people worldwide are affected by the disease, and this number is also expected to increase to 131.5 million by 2050.
The exact cause of Alzheimer’s disease is not known, but experts believe that beta-amyloid plays a key role. These proteins attach to each other and form plaques that disrupt communication between nerve cells.
According to Canadian News Today, according to Canadian experts, the combination of EGCG deforms beta-amyloid oligomers and ultimately prevents the formation of harmful plaques.
