Green Tea May Help Prevent Parkinson’s Disease

Share |

It is a fact of life that everyone goes through ageing. Unfortunately, as we age, certain parts of our bodies essential for living well start to degenerate as well, and as a result we have diseases such as Parkinson’s disease.

How Parkinson’s Sets In

As the dopamine neurons located the substantial Ingra inside the brain starts to degenerate as we grow older, Parkinson’s disease sets in. Dopamine is called “the happy hormone” as it is responsible for giving us a feeling of happiness and contentment, but it also aids learning and memory. Unfortunately, the degeneration of these neurons is irreversible, and once they’re gone, they’re gone permanently, with no hope of replacing them. Fortunately, there are ways to delay the degeneration of the dopamine neurons; the Levodopa Treatment helps to prolong the life of the dopamine neurons, but the law of decreasing returns apply to this treatment, as it becomes less and less effective as the disease progresses. Many scientists turn to the chemicals in Chinese herbs seeking treatment of our diseases. They specifically found out that Chinese Oolong tea helps prevent brain diseases through a substance called polyphenol. Polyphenols act as chelators that block all the bad metallic ions and harmful free radicals inside the human body. Polyphenols also assist in neuron transportation within our brain.

The study made by scientists show that the Chinese Oolong tea is beneficial to a person’s overall health and well-being, and how the Polyphenols found specifically in the Chinese Oolong tea can help slow down the degenerative processes of the body, and specifically they delay degeneration of the Dopamine neurons, thus delaying the onset of Parkinson’s disease. Scientists still don’t have a cure for Parkinson’s, but at least they have a way of delaying it’s onset.

The Oolong Tea is unique not only for its flavour, but for the substance called polyphenol that helps keep its drinkers healthy.

The polyphenols that are derived from the Oolong Tea helps keep the body healthy by removing the harmful free radicals that cause stress and fast aging and the anti-oxidants that can prevent the immune system from fighting off harmful diseases. Furthermore, polyphenols help cancer patients with their therapy, based on a research made by the International Public Health Nutrition, Graduate School of Health Biosciences in the University of Tokushima, Japan in 2006.

Drinking More Increases the Benefits

The Oolong tea, which come from Camilla Sinensis is unique because it goes through a process called half-fermentation, which is critical in order to maximize the oxidation of its natural enzymes. This in turn ensures that every sip would be full of health-giving goodness, as well as heavenly in its taste. The polyphenol found specifically in the Oolong Tea also works as an anti-allergy and anti-inflammation remedy, which is a boon for those who had gone through surgery or women who had just given birth. Furthermore, it is known to be beneficial for those who suffer from Type 2 Diabetes, and prevents bacterial infections that are caused by some strains of streptococci.

Believe it or not, the Oolong tea can also help you preserve your pearly whites. The Chinese, who are known tea drinkers, rarely have teeth cavities.

When Not To Drink Oolong Tea

Unfortunately, the Oolong Tea is harmful to those who suffer from heart palpitations and people who are suffering from caffeine overdose. So if you have any of the two, it may be best to stay away from tea. Otherwise, let’s drink to your health!
