Scientists from Ben-Gurion, Harvard and Leipzig Universities have found that the special version of the Mediterranean Diet, which is filled with green tea, helps to slow down the aging of the brain. The results of the study were published in the "Clinical Nutrition" magazine.
About 300 people took part in the 18-month experience. They followed one of the three diets, a standard healthy diet, a classic Mediterranean diet or its "green".
The Mediterranean Diet is based on the traditional diet of the residents of the coastal regions of Greece, Italy, Spain and other Mediterranean countries. It includes a large number of vegetables, fruits, fish, seafood and walnuts.
In the study, the "Green" type was filled with green tea and a baby plant. This vegetable crop belongs to the water plants family and looks like a clover of the dryer and freely swimming on the surface of the water.
Blood tests have shown that the participants of the third group had a lower level of proteins related to the accelerated brain aging. Researchers attribute this effect to the anti-inflammatory compounds contained in green tea and manan. They think that such foods can be filled with healthy fat, such as nuts and olive oil, diet. The latter contribute to the cognitive function, contributing to the creation of neuron membranes and protecting cells from oxidation.
