Tea slows brain cell damage

Scientists find catechin, tea natural compound that protects cells from the brain damage is the formation of protein for many years and maintain the cognitive ability of the brain.
Tea is already known since long to keep nutritious health. According to various studies, there are at least 450 compound in the tea from the caffeine, various types of antioxidants, and vitamins known to be beneficial for the body.
Much research has been evidence that reveal how the tea habit will make someone stay healthy and in shape. One is the latest research that the scientists of Singapore origin.

According to scientists, the caffeine in tea, unlike that found in coffee, because it contains natural protein theanine. This substance is able to fight side effects of caffeine, such as increased blood pressure, headache, and fatigue.
The report says, the brain cell damage caused by a combination of loss of nerve cells, the influence of genes, mild stroke, and increase the degree of protein damage. Sometimes, people with lead in demensia (disease interference cognitive function due to damage in the brain due to age factors or other serious diseases).
Conclusion is obtained after the team scientists learn from the tea-drinking habits 2501 Chinese aged 55 years and above from September 2003 to December 2005 set. Health patients, observation period, the language used, and spatial ability of the respondents observed. Tea drinking habits were also monitored. Approximately 38 percent of the respondents it was not tea. Some 29 percent of drinking only one type of tea drinking and the rest various types of tea.

So, less likely to have a stroke and heart disease. Presumably, the benefits of tea have utmost not to be research material in various parts of the world.
Overview:

- Compound in black tea called theaflavin and thearubigin can mimic insulin function in the body.
