Protect the brain from aging
Apart from improving brain function, green tea can also protect the brain as you grow older. Neurodegenerative diseases like Parkinson’s disease and Alzheimer’s disease [10] are diseases associated with old age. Parkinson’s disease [11] causes the death of neurons producing dopamine in the brain. Alzheimer’s disease, on the other hand, is the most popular cause of dementia in older people. The effect of the catechin compound [12] on neurons in animal models and test tubes is positive and this may possibly reduce the risk of dementia. Therefore, the bio active properties in green tea may have several protective effects on the brain. They may lower the risk of dementia which is a popular neurodegenerative disorder in older people.
