Is drinking tea good for Parkinson's patients?

The answer in the book "Anti-Pa Bai Wen" edited by PayPal. Parkinson's disease is a neurodegenerative disease. If patients can often drink tea, especially green tea, it will help to alleviate the symptoms of the disease. Polyphenols in tea (tea polyphenols) have a significant protective effect on neurons; Theophylline is beneficial to reduce blood lipid and blood viscosity.

For the same problem, PayPal combed the relevant literature and found some conclusions.

In the article Meta-analysis of the Relationship between Drinking Tea and Parkinson's Disease in China, E Meng and Cai Xiang said that drinking tea can reduce the incidence of Parkinson's disease. [2]

Fu, et al. pointed out in the article "Effects of green tea polyphenols on the motor, learning and memory functions of model mice" that green tea polyphenols (GTPs) can improve the motor, learning and memory functions of model mice to some extent. [3]

Miao Guihua, zhangyan and others found that drinking tea has a certain protective effect on Parkinson's disease in a case-control study on the relationship between smoking, drinking and drinking tea. [4]

In the article "Drinking tea may prevent Parkinson's disease", Yin Feng introduced three benefits of tea to Parkinson's patients: 1. It can stimulate the cortex and cranial nerves of patients with Parkinson's disease, improve the activity of neurons and reduce the risk of disease; 2. Polyphenols in tea can provide protection for nerve molecules; 3. Theophylline contained in tea is beneficial to reduce blood lipid and blood viscosity. However, the high blood viscosity of patients will slow down the blood flow and lead to insufficient nutrition supply to the brain, thus accelerating the apoptosis of substantia nigra neurons in the midbrain and causing the risk of Parkinson's disease. [5]

Zeng Xiansi, Sun and others also found something else in their research. They pointed out in the article "Research Progress of Tea Polyphenols in Neuroprotection of Parkinson's Disease" that a large number of in vitro studies showed that tea polyphenols played a neuroprotective role in Parkinson's disease. However, it is necessary to prove whether tea polyphenols can be transformed in PD patients, and to understand their absorption, metabolism and potential toxicity in vivo. [6]

However, this article still points out that "the biological activity of tea polyphenols, especially when combined with other neuroprotective compounds, may have a good effect on delaying the onset and development of PD."
