[NOW Health Compilation Team/Foreign News Report]Most people often use coffee grounds to remove odors, but recent studies have found that coffee grounds may help prevent neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer’s disease and Parkinson’s disease. , this discovery has the potential to transform the way these diseases are treated to avoid brain cell damage.
Neurodegenerative diseases may affect 5 functions of the body. This ingredient of coffee grounds can help improve

Neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, Huntington’s disease, and spinal muscular atrophy are caused by the gradual loss of neurons or brain cells. These serious and potentially life-threatening diseases are caused by the gradual loss of neurons or brain cells. It may affect the patient’s daily activities, including balance, movement, speech, breathing and heart function.
Additionally, research has found that certain environmental factors, such as exposure to insecticides, pesticides and toxic chemicals, may trigger neurodegenerative diseases. Researchers at the University of Texas at El Paso evaluated caffeic acid carbon quantum dots (CACQDs) extracted from leftover coffee grounds to see whether they might intervene in the effects of aging, obesity and The onset and progression of neurodegenerative diseases caused by environmental factors.
Researcher Jyotish Kumar says caffeic acid’s carbon quantum dots have the potential to be transformative in treating neurodegenerative diseases because none of the current treatments address them; they only help control symptoms. So their goal is to find cures by solving the atomic and molecular basis that drives these conditions.

Carbon quantum dots that remove amyloid might lead to new treatments for neurodegenerative diseases
The team used an environmentally friendly extraction technology called “green chemistry” to extract carbon quantum dots from used coffee grounds. The results show that carbon quantum dots can remove or neutralize free radicals and amyloid proteins associated with neurodegenerative diseases, especially Parkinson’s disease caused by the use of pesticides or herbicides.
The researchers note that these positive effects were observed without any obvious side effects, and they hope that these findings will contribute to the development of treatments for neurodegenerative diseases with a view to preventing the disease at a very early stage. Progress.
Professor Mahesh Narayan, another author of the study, said it is very important to address these diseases before they reach clinical stages. Any treatments that can treat the late symptoms of neurodegenerative diseases are currently beyond the reach of most people, so their goal is to come up with solutions that will make neurodegenerative diseases affordable and further prevent the onset of neurodegenerative diseases. .
