Coffee Grounds Could Hold the Key to Treating Neurodegenerative Diseases
A recent study conducted by scientists at the University of Alberta has revealed a potential new treatment for neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s. The unlikely source? Coffee grounds! The researchers found that, when applied to cells, used coffee grounds contain compounds that can protect against the damage caused by these diseases. The team believes that the compounds, like caffeine and antioxidants, found in coffee grounds may be able to protect neurons from the damage caused by these diseases. This could potentially lead to a new treatment for Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s, and it all starts with a cup of coffee!
