Green Tea Prevent Parkinson’s Disease

A study conducted on rats found that green tea prevented the breakdown of nerve cells in the brain that are responsible for producing dopamine.

Dopamine is a brain chemical that coordinates body movement. As these cells deplete, a Parkinson’s disease patient find it increasingly difficult to carry out everyday activities such as walking, talking and eating.
